Ha-Seong Kim, expected to be the Atlanta Braves’ starting shortstop, will miss four to five months due to surgery for a torn tendon in his right middle finger, an injury sustained in Korea. The 30-year-old re-signed with the Braves for one year at $20 million after a challenging season marred by injuries. With Kim sidelined, fellow Gold Glove winner Mauricio Dubón is set to take over shortstop duties for the start of the 2026 season. Kim, a former standout with the Padres, has struggled to maintain health throughout his MLB career.
