Ha-Seong Kim has Finger Surgery, Out 4-5 Months
Atlanta Braves shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (finger) will be sidelined for four to five months after undergoing surgery to fix a torn tendon in his right middle finger. Kim required surgery after suffering a torn tendon in his right middle finger after falling on ice in Korea. The 30-year-old is expected to be sidelined until around late May. That's a tough blow to the Braves after they signed Kim to a one-year, $20 million deal this offseason. It's unclear if the Braves will fill the void internally or look to sign another veteran infielder. Given he'll likely only miss the first two months, Mauricio Dubon figures to start at shortstop to begin the season. Kim could still be a potential stash option for fantasy managers, with him likely to be an everyday player once he's healthy. He's a player who is capable of hitting around 15 homers and 20-plus steals when he's healthy and playing regularly.
