"Even though the calendar says 2026, Sunday unfortunately felt a lot like 2025 for the Braves. Ha-Seong Kim, whom the Braves resigned this offseason, will now miss a good portion of the 2026 season with a torn finger tendon. It was a freak injury that occurred when Kim slipped on a piece of ice in his native Korea. As a result, it will be interesting to see how the Braves respond to the injury in terms of adding infield depth to the roster."
"With Mauricio Dubon likely playing short as the starter, the Braves could look at different options to add SS depth to the organization. It appears that the next big domino to fall on the FA market is Cody Bellinger. The Yankees currently have a modified offer out to Bellinger, including opt-outs. However, it has been reported in recent days they feel he could sign elsewhere."
Ha-Seong Kim will miss a significant portion of the 2026 season after tearing a finger tendon when he slipped on ice in Korea. The Braves had re-signed Kim this offseason, creating an unexpected hole in the infield. Mauricio Dubon is likely to start at shortstop, but the team will evaluate internal and external options to bolster SS depth. The injury complicates roster planning and increases urgency for infield reinforcements. Meanwhile, Cody Bellinger remains the next major free agent to monitor; the Yankees have made a modified offer with opt-outs, but he may ultimately sign elsewhere.
