Ha-Seong Kim In Action Against Pirates
4 months agoSan Diego Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (triceps) is back at shortstop and is hitting eighth in the batting order for Thursday's series finale in Pittsburgh against the Pirates and right-hander Luis L. Ortiz at PNC Park. Kim was held out of the starting lineup for the first two games of the series in Pittsburgh due to right-triceps soreness, but the 28-year-old infielder came off the bench on Wednesday to replace the injured Jurickson Profar (knee) in the sixth inning and went 1-for-1 with a walk, stolen base and run scored, so it's not that big of a surprise that he's back in the starting lineup a day later. He hasn't been quite as good as he was in 2023, but Kim is still useful in most fantasy leagues, mainly for his speed (21 stolen bases). The South Korean native is currently slashing .225/.325/.358 with 10 homers, 44 RBI and 58 runs scored in 374 at-bats.
