MLB game with 4″>Kim Ha-seong (29, San Diego Padres), who was replaced during the game after being hit on his left wrist by a ball thrown by an opposing pitcher, appears to have avoided the worst.

An immediate X-ray examination revealed no fractures.

Ha-seong Kim started as a 9th hitter shortstop in the 2024 MLB game against the LA Dodgers held at Petco Park in San Diego, California on the 13th (Korean time), but was replaced after being hit by an opposing pitcher’s ball during an attack in the bottom of the 4th inning.

Ha-Seong Kim, who came to bat in the bottom of the 4th inning with one out and runners on first and second base and faced Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler, was hit on the left wrist by a 94.4 mph (about 151.9 km) sinker on the second pitch.

After being hit by a helmet, Ha-seong Kim grabbed his left wrist and complained of extreme pain. The trainer also rushed out to check on the situation.

Kim Ha-seong, who clenched and unclenched his hands, walked out to first base, and when follow-up batter Luis Araes hit an infield grounder, he was thrown out at second base and returned to the dugout.

However, perhaps due to severe pain, he withdrew from the game as soon as the top of the fifth inning began. Tyler Wade filled the vacancy of Ha-seong Kim.

Before being hit by a pitch, Ha-Seong Kim came to bat once. In the bottom of the second inning, he hit a fly ball to left field with one out and one on first base.

Kim Ha-seong, who finished the game with no hits in one at-bat and one hit on a ball due to an injury, saw his season batting average drop slightly from 0.209 to 0.208 (31 hits in 149 at-bats).

Ha-seong Kim also ended his seven-game on-base streak from the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 5th to the game against the Dodgers the day before.

Ha-Seong Kim underwent an X-ray examination immediately after his replacement.

San Diego coach Mike Silt said in an interview with local reporters after the game, “No fractures were found in Kim Ha-seong’s X-ray examination.”

On this day, San Diego defeated the Dodgers 4-0. Japanese starting pitcher Yu Darvish gave up only 2 hits and 1 walk in 7 innings and held the Dodgers’ strike line to no runs. There were 7 strikeouts.

Dodgers starting pitcher Buehler, who returned from elbow surgery rehabilitation in the game against the Miami Marlins on the 7th, was shaken by allowing 5 hits (2 home runs) and 3 runs in 3⅓ innings, suffering his first loss of the season.

Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, who was substituted at the plate in the top of the 9th inning due to back pain in the game against San Diego the previous day, missed the game that day.
