Kim Hye-sung went on the 10-day IL the next day after being diagnosed with left shoulder 'burtis' after being silent in three at-bats against the Cincinnati Reds on the 29th (Korea time).
I had shoulder pain in the second half, and it was an injury that worsened as I played. The team then moved to Tampa Bay, and Kim Hye-sung flew to LA and went on a break to receive injection treatment. And from the 5th, he resumed running, hitting, and defensive training one after another to prepare for his return.
Coach Dave Roberts told local media on the 7th that `Kim Hye-sung is recovering well. He said he rose about 90%, which means he's about 80-85%." "I did batting training again today." That's a good sign. He ran and got a grounder. We expect the period of registration on the injured list (IL) to be short."
However, five days later, no news of Kim Hye-sung's return was heard. It is known that he plans to continue the training he is currently in and play in a minor league rehabilitation game next week.
Dodger Blue reported the Dodgers on the 12th 'Kim Hye-sung resumed defensive training last week. After several more days of baseball-related training, he is expected to move to the minor leagues next week to continue his rehabilitation, the report said.

In other words, he plans to go down to Triple-A Oklahoma City after the 18th to play in minor league games to regain his sense of practice and improve his condition.
The minor rehabilitation period is not expected to exceed 10 days. I think Kim Hye-sung's return to the big league will be around August 25.
The same goes for another utility infielder, Quique Hernandez, whose rehabilitation is getting longer. Hernandez was placed on the IL in the middle of last month due to left elbow soreness. I thought I'd be back soon after the All-Star break, but I'm still waiting for a quick recovery with a PRP (platelet rich plasma) injection and hormone therapy. His return is expected in early September.
Roberts said, `Kike's pain disappeared and he started playing catch. It's possible to throw, run, and hit now. However, it is not an immediate return. I think it's September 1st. It's vague, vague, and not obvious, but I don't think I can come back until then" he said.
Kim Hye-sung is expected to return a little faster than Kieke.
