Ha-Seong Kim Plays in the Field Sunday
June 2, 2025
Tampa Bay Rays middle infielder Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) started at second base Sunday, continuing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham, according to the team. This was Kim’s fifth appearance in his rehab stint from a shoulder injury, and signs of progression toward his mid-June return to the Rays stay on track. Sunday marked the first time he played in the field, as in the previous games, he had been the designated hitter. Through the five games, he’s gone 2-for-16 with two walks, two RBI, and a stolen base. The Rays signed Kim in February to a two-year, $29 million contract. When he returns to form, Kim could provide Gold Glove-caliber defense with MLB-average (or better) offensive production. In the meantime, Jose Caballero and Taylor Walls continue to occupy the shortstop position for the Rays. Fantasy managers should expect Kim back in their lineups in a few more weeks.
