Ha-Seong Kim Injures Knee Thursday
2 years agoSan Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (knee) had to be helped off the field by two athletic trainers during Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals after he fouled a ball off his left knee in the second inning. Brandon Dixon replaced Kim in the lineup. It looked like a pretty serious injury for the 27-year-old, but we won't know more until the Padres provide us with an update, which will likely come after the game. It's bad news for an already struggling team with All-Star third baseman Manny Machado (hand) currently on the injured list. Until Machado is able to return, expect Dixon and Rougned Odor to handle playing time at the hot corner in San Diego. Kim came into the series finale in D.C. hitting .237 (36-for-152) on the year with seven doubles, five home runs, 16 RBI and six steals in 46 games played.
