With Team Korea falling to the Dominican Republic in the 2026 World Baseball Classic quarterfinals, Hyeseong Kim rejoined the Los Angeles Dodgers for the final week of Spring Training.
The 27-year-old is competing for playing time at second base with Tommy Edman expected to begin the season on the injured list. He could form a platoon with non-roster invitee Santiago Espinal or Miguel Rojas, but Alex Freeland is still under consideration for a larger role as well.
Kim was having a nice camp before leaving the Dodgers to play in the WBC, but looked a bit out of sorts in the international tournament and back in Arizona.
