There is also a possibility that he will be listed on the injured list for the first time since his MLB debut.
Kim Ha-seong (San Diego Padres) was substituted during the game due to a shoulder injury.
Kim Ha-seong started as the 8th batter and shortstop in the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) game against the Colorado Rockies held at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, USA on the 19th (Korean time).
He faced Bradley Blalock of Colorado as the leadoff hitter in the top of the third inning and hit a left-field hit on the sixth pitch of a two-ball, two-strike fastball, and got on base. He showed his batting sense that has come alive by getting hits in three consecutive games recently.
However, he could not finish the game.
After Kyle Higashioka struck out, Blalock picked off Luis Araes to first base. Kim Ha-seong slid back.
At this time, he stretched out his right arm and touched first base, complained of pain, and sent a signal to the bench. He was immediately replaced and left the field with the team trainer, holding his right shoulder with his left arm.
He also expressed strong anger by taking off his helmet with his left arm as he entered the dugout.
The official MLB website, MLB.com, reported, “The team announced that Kim Ha-seong was replaced due to a shoulder injury,” and “He is scheduled to undergo an MRI on the 20th.”
“I think we’ll have to check the MRI results tomorrow to see how much damage there is,” Kim Ha-seong said. “I’m trying to be optimistic and come back as soon as possible.”
San Diego ended the game with Tyler Wade as a pinch runner for Ha-seong Kim.
The media outlet said, “If Ha-seong Kim is out for a significant period of time, San Diego could consider moving Xander Bogaerts back to shortstop, Jake Cronenworth to second base, and Araes to first base,” keeping Ha-seong Kim’s absence in mind.
Kim Ha-seong, who added one hit on this day, is recording a batting average of 0.233, 11 home runs, 47 RBIs, 60 runs, and 22 stolen bases in 121 games this season.
Kim Ha-seong, who debuted in the MLB in 2021, has never been on the injured list (IL).
Meanwhile, San Diego lost 2-3 to Colorado that day.
