According to MLB.com Dodgers Transactions, the Dodgers called Kim Hye-sung up to the majors from the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets on the 30th. However, this call-up does not immediately mean he will be added to the NLDS 26-man roster; instead, ahead of the National League Division Series (NLDS) starting October 3 , he plans to combine rest and training with a 26-man postseason roster. This season, Kim Hye-sung appeared in 43 Major League games, posting a .259 batting average (30 hits in 116 at-bats), 1 home run, 11 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.651. Early in the season, when Mookie Betts was sidelined with a right side injury, Kim was called up to Triple-A and got a chance, but later struggled to secure his spot at the plate and was sent down to Oklahoma City.

If that's the role, it would be Kim Hye-sung," and said the Dodgers are focusing more on his speed and infield defensive ability than on his batting to consider how to utilize him in the postseason!!!!!!
