Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he checks in with outfielder Hyun Soo Kim every day, but there was no real added message Sunday when he included the South Korean in the lineup for his major league debut.
“We’ve talked about it but you don’t want to say too much,” Showalter said. “There’s a fine line there. Go play. Because then you ask yourself, what would you say of substance? I think he’s probably got enough things going on without me jumping in there too deep, but yea, I’ve talked to him every day to see where he is and see how he’s feeling.
