US EditionBraves Claim Infielder Ha-Seong Kim Off Waivers From the Rays
Ha-Seong Kim, a versatile right-handed infielder, joins the Braves to address their historically low shortstop offensive output and bolster a struggling middle infield.
- The Braves claimed infielder Ha-Seong Kim off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday, transferring Austin Riley to the 60-day injured list and recalling right-handed pitcher Rolddy Muñoz.
- Facing offensive gaps at shortstop, the Atlanta Braves have the major league-worst.525 OPS this year, and Ozzie Albies, second baseman and three-time All-Star, slashes.234/.303/.350 amid Austin Riley's season-ending core surgery last month.
- Recently with the Tampa Bay Rays, Ha-Seong Kim slashed.214/.290/.321 in 24 games this year, batting.214 with two homers and five RBIs under a $29 million two-year contract including a $16 million player option for next year.
- Active-Roster rules on Monday allowed the Atlanta Braves to expand from 26 to 28 players, shoring up their uncertain middle infield as they aim for a stronger next year and hold $7 million options on Ozzie Albies' contract.
- Given his history, Ha-Seong Kim can opt out of his deal at the World Series conclusion, though that is unlikely; as a right-handed defender, he became a fan favorite with the San Diego Padres.
