Ha-Seong Kim Returns To Lineup Saturday

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday and is starting at shortstop and batting eighth against the New York Yankees and right-hander Luis Severino. Kim is starting at the 6 with Xander Bogaerts dealing with some wrist soreness. Kim fouled a ball off his left knee on Thursday and had to be helped off the field and also missed the series opener against the Yankees on Friday, but he's back in there Saturday. The 27-year-old will be a low-upside DFS option near the bottom of San Diego's batting order in this one, and he's hitting just .237 (36-for-152) with seven doubles, five home runs, 16 RBI and six stolen bases on the year in 172 plate appearances and 47 games.

Ha-Seong Kim Not Playing Friday

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (knee) is not in the team's starting lineup on Friday as they begin a three-game series in the Bronx against the New York Yankees. Kim was helped off the field by two trainers on Thursday against the Washington Nationals after he fouled a ball off his left knee. However, X-rays came back negative, and the Padres are hoping the 27-year-old can avoid a trip to the injured list. Even if Kim doesn't go on the IL, he could end up missing the entire weekend series against New York. Rougned Odor is starting at third base and hitting fifth, Jake Cronenworth is at the keystone and batting second and Brandon Dixon is starting at first and hitting seventh against Yankees rookie right-hander Randy Vasquez on Friday.

X-rays came back negative on San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim's left knee, according to manager Bob Melvin. Kim is still doubtful to play on Friday for the series opener in the Bronx against the New York Yankees, but he might be able to avoid an injured-list stint. The 27-year-old was helped off the field by two team trainers after he fouled a ball off his left knee early in Thursday's contest against the Washington Nationals, but he may have avoided a serious injury. With Manny Machado (hand) still on the injured list, Rougned Odor, who had a crucial go-ahead home run and five RBI in Thursday's win, is likely to draw the start at the hot corner for the Friars on Friday. Kim continues to play regularly for the Padres in 2023 and is hitting .237 (36-for-152) with seven doubles, five home runs, 16 RBI and six steals in 46 games.

Ha-Seong Kim Injures Knee Thursday

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (knee) had to be helped off the field by two athletic trainers during Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals after he fouled a ball off his left knee in the second inning. Brandon Dixon replaced Kim in the lineup. It looked like a pretty serious injury for the 27-year-old, but we won't know more until the Padres provide us with an update, which will likely come after the game. It's bad news for an already struggling team with All-Star third baseman Manny Machado (hand) currently on the injured list. Until Machado is able to return, expect Dixon and Rougned Odor to handle playing time at the hot corner in San Diego. Kim came into the series finale in D.C. hitting .237 (36-for-152) on the year with seven doubles, five home runs, 16 RBI and six steals in 46 games played.
