US EditionDodgers recall South Korean All-Star Hyeseong Kim and place Tommy Edman on injured list
- On Saturday, the Los Angeles Dodgers activated Hyeseong Kim, a South Korean infielder who began the season with their Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City, and moved Tommy Edman to the injured list due to a right ankle issue.
- The move followed Edman's sore right ankle injury, which caused him to miss two games and led to a retroactive IL placement from April 30.
- At 26 years old, Kim signed a three-year deal worth $12.5 million in January and appeared in 28 games for Oklahoma City, where he recorded a batting average of.252 along with five home runs and 19 runs batted in.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts highlighted Kim's ability to contribute in multiple positions, including infield and outfield roles as well as on the basepaths, and mentioned that his call-up could be for a brief period in the major leagues.
- With Edman expected to remain on the injured list for at least 10 days, Kim is set to be called up and make his first appearance in the major leagues as the Dodgers hold a 22-10 lead in the NL West.
