Kim Ha-seong of the Atlanta Braves has hit the sidelines with right middle finger inflammation, as his frustrating season took a turn for the worse.
The Braves placed Kim on the 10-day injured list Saturday (U.S. local time), with Kyle Farmer being activated in a corresponding move.
For Kim, this is the same finger that was surgically repaired after he slipped on ice in his native Korea and tore a ligament in January.
The incident occurred soon after Kim had signed a one-year, $20 million contract with the Braves, who had designs on having the former Gold Glove winner as their primary shortstop.
