The Los Angeles Dodgers placed rookie utility man Hyeseong Kim on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder bursitis last Tuesday.
The Dodgers were on the road during a series against the Cincinnati Reds when the decision was made. Kim headed back to Los Angeles early to receive a cortisone injection in his shoulder.
The injection will require Kim to stop participating in baseball activities for a few days. But the 26-year-old is still expected to return to playing sometime this month.
“He’ll be down for a couple days with no activity,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said to the Orange County Register.
