The Los Angeles Dodgers placed utility player Tommy Edman on the injured list with right ankle inflammation, retroactive to April 30. In a corresponding move, they recalled infielder Hyeseong Kim, who had been performing well in Triple-A. Although Edman noted improvement in his ankle condition, the injury was more serious than anticipated, prompting his IL placement. This roster move allows Kim an opportunity in the majors after a strong start in the minor leagues, where he adjusted his batting performance and showcased his defensive skills.
Edman's time away is not ideal, but his departure opens the door for Kim to get an opportunity in the big leagues.
Kim revamped his swing and began the season in Triple-A hitting .257 with an .801 OPS, showcasing his readiness for the majors.
While Edman's IL stint comes as a shock, Kim's arrival is timely as the team seeks to fill the gap in their roster.
Edman stated his ankle was feeling 'much better,' yet the injury turned out to be more serious than initially believed.
