"Dodgers infielders are going to suffer a big blow."

Kim Hye-sung (26, LA Dodgers) was listed on the injured list on the 30th (Korea time).

MLB.COM, the official website of the U.S. Major League Baseball, explained that Dodgers infielder Kim Hye-sung was listed on the 10-day injured list after being found to have mucocystitis on his left shoulder.




Kim Hye-sung recently suffered from a terrible batting slump. In particular, he struck out six in two games on the 24th and 26th.

He thought he would rebound with two hits against the Boston Red Sox on the 27th, but was excluded from the starting lineup the next day. The condition of the body was the problem.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, `I don't know if I'm affecting my swing because I have a problem with my left shoulder.' `Kim Hye-sung has been playing for the past five to six days while paying attention to his shoulder condition. I want to restore my shoulder condition by giving 28 days off. Kim Hye-sung has been sent out because he is a competitive player."




In the end, I got sick. MLB.COM said `Kim Hye-sung has been playing with left shoulder pain for the past week. The pain began to affect the swing. 'KBO star player Kim Hye-sung hit .344 with a .338 slugging percentage in his first year in the Major League. However, in July, the batting average dropped to a .193 OPS of .418.

Roberts said there were several candidates for the injured list. Tommy Edman, who injured his right ankle in Boston's away game, was also on the list. However, Kim Hye-sung is now on the injured list." Kim Hye-sung is holding out with his teeth clenched. I'll never say it's hard, but if you look at the bat, it's not what it usually looks like."

The U.S. media outlet 'Clutch Points' said that the Dodgers without Kim Hye-sung will certainly lose power' and that the Dodgers' infield will be hit hard' The media added that `Kim Hye-sung played center field and second base, and now he is a full-time main player.'




Kim Hye-sung is planning to come to LA and get an injection treatment on her shoulder. He is expected to be away for about 10 days.

In the absence of Kim Hye-sung, the Dodgers placed infielder Alex Freeland, who is third in the team's prospect rankings and 35th in the Major League Pipeline.
