Ha-Seong Kim - Out until Friday with back spasmsKim will be held out of action until Friday after experiencing back spasms during drills Tuesday, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
ImpactAcee says Kim was virtually pain-free by Tuesday evening, but he's being held out Wednesday as a precaution and the Padres are off Thursday. Xander Bogaerts slid over to his old position at shortstop to cover for Kim on Wednesday. Kim has had a nice start to Cactus League play, going 6-for-15 with a home run and two stolen bases.

Alek Thomas - Retooled swing over offseasonThomas worked on retooling his swing over the offseason in an effort to create more balance and also separation in activating his hips, shoulders and hands, Theo Mackie of the Ariz...
ImpactThomas' father and personal hitting coach, Allen, partnered with a trainer named Chad Miller to open a high-tech hitting company named ID Evolution last spring and Alek revamped his swing there this winter. While Thomas said his new swing doesn't feel totally natural yet, he is noticing it with his results. He hit a ball 116 mph against a Triple-A pitcher prior to spring training, which is notable given that his max exit velocity in his two major-league seasons is 111.3 mph. Thomas has slashed just .230/.274/.359 so far in the big leagues, but the 23-year-old is a former top prospect who hit .316/.391/.500 in the minors. Perhaps the new swing will allow him to come closer to his offensive potential.
