Impact Kim landed on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation Aug. 20 and is already eligible to be activated. While his ability to engage in a variety of baseball activities is promising, the fact that the Padres have thus far kept Kim from making throws to first base suggests that he still has a major hurdle to clear. Mason McCoy has been getting the majority of the starts at shortstop for San Diego while Kim has been sidelined.

He's slashing .229/.328/.365 with 11 homers, 47 RBI, 60 runs scored and 22 stolen bases over 119 contests, as his drop in production this year has yet to cost him a starting role at shortstop.

Swipes 20th bag Kim went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Orioles.

Impact Kim did a little bit of everything in this one, reaching base three times and collecting his 20th stolen base of the season.

For Kim, the performance snapped a string of 11 straight contests without a run batted in. In fact, his three RBI were as many as he had collected over his previous 21 games combined.

JULY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Kim now has 19 steals this season, and his 57 swipes since the start of 2023 are tied with Nico Hoerner for the seventh most in MLB in that span. Kim has started all but three games at shortstop for the Padres this season. The 28-year-old is just 9-for-45 over his last 14 games but has solid counting stats for the season with 10 HR, 40 RBI and 51 runs scored over 100 games.

Tallies three hits, RBI Kim went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's loss to Arizona.

Impact Kim opened the bottom of the fifth with a leadoff double and eventually advanced to third before being left stranded. However, he came right back with hits in each of his next two trips to the plate, driving home Donovan Solano with a double in the eighth to tie the game at 4-4. It marked Kim's second three-hit performance this season and his 13th multi-hit game overall. The second baseman has now hit safely in 11 of his last 14 games, though he's still batting just .222 (4-for-18) through five games in July.

JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two thefts in win Kim went 1-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, two stolen bases and one run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

His pair of steals Wednesday were his first since June 20, and he's up to 18 thefts on 21 attempts this season. The infielder has added a .227/.335/.383 slash line with 10 home runs, 38 RBI, 46 runs scored, 10 doubles and three triples through 88 contests. One of Kim, Luis Arraez, Jake Cronenworth or Donovan Solano is likely to lose hold of an everyday role once Xander Bogaerts (shoulder) returns, which could be in about a week if he can get through a rehab assignment without setbacks.
