Dodgers recall South Korean All-Star Hyeseong Kim and place Tommy Edman on injured list
- The Los Angeles Dodgers called up 26-year-old South Korean infielder Hyeseong Kim from Triple-A on Saturday and sidelined Tommy Edman due to a right ankle injury.
- Edman missed two games due to soreness and was moved to the injured list retroactive to April 30, allowing Kim to be promoted to the roster.
- Kim began the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City, recording a.252 batting average along with five home runs, 19 runs batted in, and 13 stolen bases over the course of 28 games; he also brings eight seasons of experience from the KBO.
- Kim signed a three-year, $12.5 million contract with the Dodgers on January 3 and manager Dave Roberts said Kim's versatility and roster depth needs influenced the decision, though his stint may be short.
- Edman is expected to miss at least 10 days, and Kim's arrival provides infield depth while Chris Taylor continues to start at second base for the Dodgers.
