Ha-Seong Kim Breaks Out of Skid Wednesday, Back on the Fantasy Radar?
Atlanta Braves shortstop Ha-Seong Kim has struggled at the plate since being activated from the injured list 10 days ago, but he broke out of a hitless skid by going 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a walk on Wednesday. Kim is now 2-for-23 with three walks and five strikeouts this year, and his .225 xwOBA suggests that he's been only a little unlucky. Kim isn't a major power or speed threat, but the 2023 season was proof that he's capable of slugging 15+ homers and swiping 35+ bags. We don't see him returning to that level of production this year, but perhaps Wednesday's RBI base knock is a sign of him tapping into a little more offensive upside. He's worth monitoring in fantasy baseball leagues so far, especially since he has eligibility at both shortstop and second base in some formats. With that said, it's a bit too early to add him off the waiver wire, especially since he's still available in 98% of leagues. He ranks as the #33 shortstop in RotoBaller's rest-of-season fantasy baseball rankings.
