Hyeseong Kim has made a significant impact on the Los Angeles Dodgers since his recall from Triple-A Oklahoma City, boasting a .400 batting average. The 26-year-old rookie has reached base safely in nine consecutive plate appearances, a feat not achieved by a Dodgers rookie since Corey Seager in 2015. His playing time increased while Tommy Edman was on the injured list. Although he faces competition upon Edman's return, manager Dave Roberts plans to keep Kim engaged by periodically incorporating him into the starting lineup, ensuring he remains a valuable asset whether starting or coming off the bench.
"I think Andy is an everyday player, and I think that I've shown that. He's earned it. There will be a sporadic off day," manager Dave Roberts explained.
"That's something that as we've learned over the years and certainly this year, it'll work itself out," Roberts said of a potential Dodgers roster crunch.
