Hyesong Kim finally came back to the Los Angeles Dodgers – although it was not an easy performance.
The Infielder had been dealing with a shoulder injury for more than a month. As soon as the rehabilitation process ended, Kim spent time in the small competitions before he was recently activated with the expansion of the schedules to coincide with the arrival of September.

Bill Plunkett van The Oranje District Register caught up with Kim Prior to the loss of 9-7 of the Dodgers on Tuesday on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Kim was eventually inserted as a Pinchloper in the 9th inning before he scored on a Shohei Ohtani doubles the wall of midfield.
Kim’s route to Pittsburgh was not easy to say the least. Kim and his interpreter, Dean Kim, came to meet the Dodgers on the East Coast from the Team of the Team in Oklahoma City.
Plunkett has turned off exactly what happened in detail.
“A combination of missed connections and delayed flights left Kim and his interpreter, Dean Kim, on the floor at the airport on their way from Oklahoma City. They played League of Legends – TeamFight – Tactics on their phones. Hyseong is very strict with his diet.
Kim then spoke about what the test made such a challenge.
“It was very difficult. You are 100 percent right. I have never spent as much time at an airport as yesterday.”
Kim and his interpreter reportedly spent 14-15 hours at the airport before they finally came to the steel city prior to Tuesday’s game.
With Kim back in the fold, manager Dave Roberts has another option to use in the Infield and/or the Outfield. Because the left field is an important reason for concern, Kim could possibly see time there. Moreover, Kim’s preferred position, the second base, is another place where the playing time currently seems to be for the taking.
