Kim launched a two-run shot in the third inning as part of a three-run frame in the road loss to the Rockies. The veteran infielder has been a reliable run producer this season, with a .238 average, four homers, 17 runs, 17 RBI, and seven steals across 101 at-bats. His blend of power and speed makes him a quality starting option in fantasy leagues.

Ha-Seong Kim went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in the Padres' 6-3 victory over the Brewers.

Despite a sluggish start to the season with a batting average of just .225, this game could be a sign of Kim turning things around. His power has been evident with three homers now on the season, but his overall production has been inconsistent.

Ha-Seong Kim's contribution was both timely and pivotal. The shortstop's performance included a crucial triple that drove in two runs, marking his first triple of the season and bringing his RBI total to seven.

Fantasy Impact

Kim's blend of modest power and speed offers a versatile asset for fantasy managers in deeper leagues or those in need of middle infield assistance. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Kim's performance in the coming games as he looks to build on this momentum and correct his early-season woes.

Ha-Seong Kim is reportedly dealing with back spasms.

Kim underwent a precautionary test. He is likely considered as day-to-day for now.

Ha-Seong Kim will be the Padres' primary shortstop in 2024.

Fantasy Impact

Kim won a gold glove as a utility player in 2023, and the Padres will opt to move Xander Bogaerts to second base for the foreseeable future. Kim had a breakout season in 2023 and should have a prominent role toward the top of the Padres lineup going forward.
