The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a significant roster move by recalling infielder Ha-Seong Kim from Triple-A Oklahoma City while placing Tommy Edman on the injured list due to ankle inflammation. Edman's stint on the IL has been backdated to April 30, allowing the team to adjust without losing much time. Kim, making his major league debut after signing a multi-year, $12.5 million deal, brings a promising offensive record from the minors, hitting .257 with five homers and 13 steals in 27 games.

Despite his Triple-A success, Kim's average exit velocity and strikeout rate raise concerns as he transitions to the MLB. His ability to provide speed and versatility defensively is an asset for the Dodgers, currently leading the National League West with a 22-10 record. As he steps onto the big league stage, all eyes will be on whether he can translate his minor-league performance into the majors.
