Ha-Seong Kim Returns on Monday
1 year agoSan Diego Padres second baseman Ha-Seong Kim is back in the starting lineup Monday night against the rival San Francisco Giants. Kim mostly got the afternoon off on Sunday, entering the game as a defensive replacement for fellow second baseman Rougned Odor but did not get a chance to make a trip to the plate. The 27-year-old has had a solid season at the plate, hitting .245 with five homers, 10 stolen bases, and a .708 OPS across 243 trips to the plate. His 11.9% BB% has helped him produce a 101 wRC+ that is one tick above the league average while he continues to provide some speed on the basepaths. He remains a borderline fantasy option at the second base position.
