CHICAGO (AP) — Ha-Seong Kim joined the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday and started at shortstop in his first game with his new team.
The 29-year-old Kim was claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay on Monday. He was in the sixth spot in the lineup for the second game of Atlanta's three-game set at the Chicago Cubs.
“He’s going to play pretty much every day,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “He’s going to play shortstop."
The Braves also brought up left-hander Hayden Harris from Triple-A Gwinnett and placed outfielder Jurickson Profar on the paternity list. Right-hander Wander Suero was designated for assignment.
