Ha-Seong Kim is set to make his long-awaited debut for the Tampa Bay Rays after being activated from the 60-day injured list. Kim has not played since undergoing shoulder surgery but previously enjoyed a standout season with the San Diego Padres, earning MVP votes and a Gold Glove award. His career-high .260 batting average and 17 home runs in 2023 showcased his offensive capabilities alongside his elite defense. The Rays hope his return will strengthen their lineup, particularly given the current struggles of Jose Caballero and Taylor Walls.

Kim's unique skill set—combining solid power, strong on-base percentage, and speed—will be a key asset for the Rays. His ability to play multiple infield positions with Gold Glove proficiency makes him a versatile addition. If he can replicate his past performance, his presence could significantly enhance the Rays' offensive strategy and base-running efficiency, making him a player to watch closely in fantasy leagues.
