Padres' Ha-Seong Kim Placed on Injured List

San Diego Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a jammed right shoulder sustained during a game against the Colorado Rockies. An MRI revealed inflammation but no serious damage, leading to a cautious but optimistic prognosis for his return. Kim, who has been a key performer with a recent hitting surge, expressed disappointment at the timing of the injury. Utility player Tyler Wade has been filling in at shortstop, with Matthew Batten recalled from Triple-A El Paso to provide additional depth. The Padres are in a critical phase of the season, competing in the wild-card race, and are aiming for a World Series berth.
