Ha-Seong Kim moved from Tampa Bay to Atlanta, with a 2026 player option worth $16 million still in play. His health history (back inflammation and leg issues) clouds upside, but healthy Kim projects as a 2-4 WAR contributor, offering infield depth for the Braves.

Kim’s back injury and IL stint push Carson Williams into a shortstop role, with Chandler Simpson handling leadoff duties in Kim’s absence. The Rays’ infield depth will determine how long Williams benefits from extended run and how fantasy managers value the bottom of the order.

Ha-Seong Kim's recent return signals a potential boost to the Rays' lineup, bringing a versatile offensive option to help improve run production as the team seeks to recover from its recent slump.

Kim has returned to the Rays after a brief injury, adjusting well to his batting order placement and providing versatility to the team.

Ha-Seong Kim is back from injury and looking to recapture his prior success, making him an intriguing option for fantasy players, especially if he can regain his speed and power dynamics.
