Braves Hope Ha-Seong Kim Can Return in Early May
Atlanta Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said "there is hope" that shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (right middle finger) will be able to return by early May. The middle infielder underwent surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right middle finger nearly four weeks ago. He reportedly suffered the injury after slipping on ice and falling. Splitting 2025 between the Rays and Braves, he slashed .234/.304/.345 with five home runs, six stolen bases, an 8.4% walk rate, a 20.4% strikeout rate, and 82 wRC+. He mostly played at shortstop, but he also made five appearances at second base. In total, he posted -3 OAA and -1 FRV in the infield. Upon his return, he'll offer a solid bench bat behind middle infielders Ozzie Albies and Mauricio Dubon.
