Kwang Hyun Kim Goes On The Injured List
Kwang Hyun Kim (elbow) was placed on the injured list, retroactive to August 8, due to inflammation in his left elbow. Reports state that the injury has been affecting Kim for a while, which helps to explain why he hasn't been pitching as well lately. For now, it remains unclear whether this is a long-term issue or something that may only cause Kim to miss a pair of starts. Jack Flaherty (oblique) is expected back soon and will likely take Kim's spot if he's healthy.

Kwang Hyun Kim Close To Returning To Korea
Kwang Hyun Kim appears to be close to returning to the Korean Baseball Organization as Major League Baseball remains in a lockout since early December, according to a source. Kim pitched in Korea for 12 seasons from 2007 to 2019 before joining the St. Louis Cardinals the last two years. In his two big-league seasons in the States, the 33-year-old southpaw has been very solid, sporting a 2.97 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 104 strikeouts and 51 walks in 145 2/3 innings over 35 total appearances (28 starts) for St. Louis. The SSG Landers have been looking into signing him this offseason.
