The Dodgers decided not to include Kim Hye-sung in the opening entry on the 12th (Korea time).
The U.S. media MTR reported that the Dodgers executed options for infielder Kim Hye-sung and right-hander Bobby Miller. Spring camp invitees Giovanni Gallegos, Eddie Rosario, David Boat, Michael Chavis and Dalton Rushing have been reallocated to minor league camp, he said.
The Dodgers judged that Kim Hye-sung needed a little more time to adapt to the fastball of the Major League Baseball.
The background of 'Dodgers Nation' was revealed by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts why he sent Kim Hye-sung to the minor leagues.
Roberts said "The last four games have been really good days for Kim. He looked much more comfortable at bat. The defense was really good. I was happy to see him play center field as well. "But we think it's the most important thing for him to stay here and get more at-bats and get ready for the season."
Kim is unlikely to play the full two games even if she joins the Tokyo Series in Tokyo, Japan.
The Chicago Cubs' predicted starting pitchers in Game 1 and Game 2 are all left-handed. To Kim, who is still adjusting, even dealing with a left-handed one-two punch can be harsh.
Dodgers Nation made a reasonable decision to leave Kim Hye-sung in Arizona rather than taking him to Japan. The Dodgers already knew that Kim Hye-sung's attack was in progress and also knew that it would never be easy to adapt to the speed of the Major League Baseball.

In fact, even if Kim Hye-sung is absent, there is no shortage in the Dodgers' player management.
Major League Trade Rumors said 'The Dodgers secured flexibility in second base by sending Kim Hye-sung to the minor leagues. Miguel Rojas, Enrique Hernandez and Chris Taylor can all play second base. They can all serve as utilities as well. If it's difficult, you can call center fielder Tommy Edman to second base.
