Claimed by Atlanta Atlanta claimed Kim (back) off waivers from Tampa Bay on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Atlanta will be on the hook for the roughly $2 million remaining on Kim's contract this season, and the 29-year-old holds a $16 million player option for 2026. Kim had been on the shelf since Aug. 21 due to lower back inflammation, but he's ready for activation, according to Rosenthal. The 29-year-old infielder got off to a delayed start of the 2025 season after undergoing labrum surgery last fall, and he's slashed just .214/.290/.321 over 24 games at the big-league level while also missing time with calf, foot and back injuries. Once he's reinstated, Kim could wind up getting a look in an everyday role at shortstop for Atlanta down the stretch.

Claimed by Atlanta Atlanta claimed Kim off waivers from Tampa Bay on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Atlanta will be on the hook for the roughly $2 million remaining on Kim's contract this season. According to Rosenthal, Kim (back) is also ready to be activated from the 10-day injured list. It's been an injury-riddled season for the 29-year-old shortstop, as he's appeared in just 24 games to this point. When healthy, Kim has slashed .214/.290/.321 with two home runs, five RBI, five runs scored, six stolen bases and an 8:23 BB:K across 93 plate appearances. Kim will likely see regular playing time at shortstop for Atlanta down the stretch.

Could return upon roster expansion Kim (back) isn't expected to return from the 10-day injured list until at least Monday when team rosters expand to 28 players, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Impact Kim has played just 29 major-league games this season due to multiple injuries, most recently lower-back inflammation that landed him on the 10-day IL on Aug. 21. He's eligible to return from the IL on Sunday, but the Rays will wait to bring back the 29-year-old shortstop until at least Monday. Carson Williams has played well since making his major-league debut Aug. 22, but it's unclear what his role will be once Kim has returned.

Carson Williams is off to a hot start while filling in for Kim at shortstop, but he could be pushed aside soon if the Rays elect to re-install Kim as their primary option at the position.
