Braves make Ha-Seong Kim decision.
The Atlanta Braves will have shortstop Ha-Seong Kim in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the San Francisco Giants.
Atlanta claimed Kim off waivers last September and re-signed him to a one-year contract worth $20 million. However, the shortstop has struggled mightily this season, but the Braves will be starting him in the series opener against the Giants.
The Braves lineup in the series opener is as follows:
- D. Baldwin C
- M. Harris II CF
- M. Olson 1B
- O. Albies 2B
- D. Smith DH
- M. Dubón LF
- A. Riley 3B
- M. Yastrzemski RF
- H. Kim SS
Kim isn’t an everyday player for the Braves, despite the amount of money he’s earning, as he has struggled this season at the plate.
The 30-year-old South Korean is hitting .089 with zero home runs and 3 RBIs in 56 at-bats, as he’s been relegated to more of a bench role with the Braves. But, despite the struggles, he remains on the 26-man roster and gets starts every now and then to try and break out of the slump.
More to come.
