According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, the Braves' newest shortstop addition will miss the first four to five months of the season with a hand injury. Ha-Seong Kim suffered the unfortunate injury after falling on ice in his home country of South Korea. This is a major loss for Atlanta as the Gold Glove middle infielder was set to be their starting shortstop for the 2026 season. Braves' fans are surely going through some mourning at the moment, but they should at least know that they can confide in Rays' fans as they went through a similar situation in 2025.
