INJURIES
Unfortunate Dodgers injury news explains Alex Freeland move, ups trade deadline ante The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Hyeseong Kim on the injured list and promoted top prospect Alex Freeland.
JULY 29, 2025 • DODGERSWAY.COM
Placed on IL with shoulder issue The Dodgers placed Kim on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left shoulder bursitis.
Impact Kim has been nursing the shoulder problem for more than a week, and while he was in the Dodgers' lineup Monday in Cincinnati, the team has ultimately decided it's best for the 26-year-old to rest for a bit. Kim will be eligible for activation Aug. 8, but it's unclear whether he will be ready to go by that date.
JULY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Rejoining starting nine Kim (shoulder) will start at second base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Reds.
Impact Kim was held out of the lineup for Sunday's 4-3 loss to Boston due to a left shoulder injury he sustained a night earlier, but he felt well enough to serve as a pinch runner and defensive replacement late in the contest. He reported to the park Monday no worse for the wear, so Kim will take back a spot in the starting nine as the Dodgers open a three-game set in Cincinnati.

Alex Bregman hits 2-run HR, Red Sox take series vs. Dodgers with 4-3 win

Won't play Sunday Kim has been dealing with a shoulder issue and won't play Sunday versus Boston, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Kim has been dealing with the issue for about a week. Roberts suggested that the injury has been impacting the rookie infielder at the plate, saying, "I think it's been affecting his swing a little bit...I think that's some of the reason why there's a little bit more swing and miss than there has been." Despite looking uncomfortable at the dish at times Saturday, Kim played eight innings and went 2-for-3. He was lifted for a pinch hitter in the ninth frame, but that may not have been a result of the injury, as Mookie Betts -- who arrived late to the stadium after dealing with a personal issue out of state -- was summoned to bat as the tying run with two outs.

Drives in two, swipes bag Kim went 1-for-4 with two RBI and one stolen base in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Twins.
Impact Kim was just 1-for-10 with two strikeouts over four games coming out of the All-Star break. While it wasn't a multi-hit performance, Kim supplied a two-run single in the sixth inning -- he had been limited to just one RBI across his last 20 contests. He's now batting .317 with a .782 OPS, two home runs, 15 RBI, 17 runs scored and 12 steals across 133 plate appearances. Kim continues to occupy a strong-side platoon role at second base.

JULY 20, 2025 • Associated Press
Idle against southpaw Kim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact After starting at second base in five of the Dodgers' past six games, the left-handed-hitting Kim will hit the bench Sunday while the Giants send southpaw Robbie Ray to the hill. Tommy Edman will shift over from third base to cover the keystone in Kim's stead.

Three hits, two steals in loss Kim went 3-for-4 with a double, two stolen bases and one run scored in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Giants.
Impact Kim delivered his first multi-hit effort since June 28 versus the Royals. The second baseman has picked up playing time at his natural position lately, with Tommy Edman shifting over to third base against right-handed pitchers to help cover the absences of Max Muncy (knee) and Enrique Hernandez (elbow). The left-handed-hitting Kim is at a .349/.389/.481 slash line with two home runs, 12 RBI, 17 runs scored and 11 steals across 113 plate appearances this season. Kim will likely continue to sit against left-handed pitchers, with Miguel Rojas entering the lineup at third and Edman at second in those matchups.

Sitting after three straight starts Kim is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Though he will hit the bench Wednesday while the Brewers send southpaw Jose Quintana to the mound, the left-handed-hitting Kim's outlook for playing time versus righties seems to have improved with both Max Muncy (knee) and Enrique Hernandez (elbow) recently landing on the injured list. Kim had started in each of the Dodgers' previous three matchups against righties and went 1-for-11 with six strikeouts, though it's worth noting that Tommy Edman missed all of those games while nursing a pinkie toe injury. Edman is back in action Wednesday, so the final spot in the Dodgers' regular infield against right-handed pitching may come down to either Kim or Miguel Rojas.

Could see more playing time Kim could see more starts at second base going forward now that Tommy Edman is healthy enough to play in the outfield, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
Impact Kim had been part of the starting lineup in four of the Dodgers' past 13 games, making three starts in center field and one at second base. However, Edman's minor ankle injury is healed enough to allow him to play the outfield, which should open up more opportunities for Kim at the keystone -- the position he's had his most starts at this season. The 26-year-old rookie is slashing .372/.410/.538 with two home runs and six stolen bases in 83 plate appearances. Kim is batting eighth and playing second base Saturday against the Royals.

Swipes sixth bag Kim went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.
Impact Kim got the start in center field and continued to make a strong impression with his bat, collecting his third multi-hit effort across his past four starts. The rookie has gone 8-for-15 with a homer, two RBI and two stolen bases during that span but continues to play sporadically -- he didn't start in any of Los Angeles' three games prior to Saturday. Kim has started at three different positions (center, second base and shortstop) this season as manager Dave Roberts looks to find ways to get him into the lineup among a talented roster. Kim has done all he can to make a case for playing time, slashing .411/.441/.554 with two home runs, seven RBI, 13 runs and six stolen bases (in six attempts) across 25 games.

Collects four hits, including homer Kim went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, three total runs and two total RBI against the Yankees in an 18-2 victory Saturday.
Impact Kim got the start at shortstop with Mookie Betts (toe) sitting out a second straight day, though Kim shifted to center field later in the contest. The rookie reached base all five times he came to the plate, and he bashed his second big-league homer with a 412-foot, two-run blast in the second inning. Kim's opportunities have been sporadic -- Saturday's start marked just his second across the Dodgers' past nine contests -- but he's been impressive when in the lineup, slashing .422/.458/.600 with four extra-base hits, 13 runs, seven RBI and four stolen bases through 48 plate appearances.
