Kim Hye-sung was also excluded from the starting lineup of the first four consecutive home games against the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium on the 19th (Korea time).
Kim Hye-sung's last start was a home game against the Colorado Rockies on the 9th. Kim Hye-sung, who started as the seventh second baseman at the time, had no hits, one walk, two strikeouts, and one stolen base in two at-bats, and the Dodgers won 3-1.
Since then, he has played as a pinch hitter and a logistical guard against Colorado on the 11th and San Francisco Giants on the 15th, respectively, and recorded no hits in one at-bats.
So, the name could not be seen in the starting batting order for the 10th and 9th games until this day.
The Dodgers will take the lineup in the order of designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, shortstop Mookie Betts, first baseman Freddie Freeman, third baseman Max Muncy, right fielder Teoscar Hernandez, left fielder Michael Confoto, center fielder Andy Paz, second baseman Miguel Rojas and catcher Ben Lotbet.

On top of that, Confoto, who had been sluggish throughout the season, raised his stock price by hitting three hits and three RBIs in four at-bats against San Francisco on the 15th. He has been recovering since September with a batting average of 0.286 (10 hits in 35 at-bats), one home run, five RBIs and three runs scored in 11 games.
Whether the opponent is right-handed or left-handed, it is difficult for Kim Hye-sung to start. Kim Hye-sung was shunned even though the San Francisco starter was right-handed Logan Webb.
It is also not good that Kim Hye-sung's condition is on the decline at the end of the season. Kim Hye-sung was on the injured list with a left shoulder injury on the 29th of last month, and returned on the 3rd after rehabilitation for more than a month. Since then, he has only hit 0.071 (one hit in 14 at-bats) in eight games. The batting average for the season, which exceeded 300, fell to 0.283. Manager Dave Roberts can't find him.

The goal is to do the best in the remaining 10 games to go straight to the Division Series, but there are 5.5 games against Philadelphia. It's hard to chase.
In this situation, Roberts is running the game with the wild card series in mind. Ohtani is even considering his position in the bullpen. We are preparing for a short-term game by operating best members for each position. Kim Hye-sung is a thorough backup agent. That's why there are more days when he can't participate. Even if he is included in the 26-man roster of the postseason, it seems difficult to get a chance to start.
In the meantime, San Francisco's Lee Jung-hoo was listed in the starting lineup two days after the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 17th. Lee Jung-hoo, who scored as a pinch runner against Arizona the previous day, will play in center field No. 7 on the day.
