Braves shortstop Ha-Seong Kim has surgery to repair torn tendon in middle finger
Kim's surgery follows a torn tendon injury sustained in South Korea; recovery expected to keep him out through May or June, impacting Braves' shortstop plans.
- On Jan. 18, Atlanta Braves shortstop Ha-Seong Kim underwent surgery in Atlanta to repair a torn tendon, the Braves said.
- The Braves said he suffered a torn tendon in a right finger while back home in Korea, following prior right shoulder surgery and delayed debut until July 4.
- The procedure took place on Sunday in Atlanta, performed by Dr. Gary Lourie, the Braves said.
- With Kim sidelined, the Atlanta Braves will likely have two-time Gold Glove utilityman Mauricio Dubón start at shortstop on Opening Day, shifting from a utility role.
- A recovery up to five months could keep Kim out until June 18, and he signed a one-year, $20 million contract after declining a $16 million player option.
