Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Padres decided before this past season to play the defensively-superior Kim at shortstop full-time and shift Xander Bogaerts to second base. Unfortunately, Bogaerts was forced to move back to short in mid-September after Kim suffered a season-ending right shoulder injury which eventually required labrum surgery. Kim's recovery is expected to drag on after Opening Day, and he will enter 2025 with fantasy eligibility only at shortstop on most platforms. A late start to the season and the fact that he's returning from major shoulder surgery could impact his already-middling power. The good news is Kim should remain a nice source of stolen bases when he makes his debut after signing with Tampa Bay, where he'll get a ballpark bump after leaving Petco. Read Past Outlooks
Will play SS on rehab this week
Kim (shoulder) is scheduled to play shortstop this week for the first time on rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Kim played second base in his last two games with Durham after being used at designated hitter in his first four contests. After picking up two hits in his first rehab game, the 29-year-old is hitless over his last five tilts. Recovering from right shoulder surgery, Kim is expected to be the Rays' primary shortstop once activated. However, since he's just now getting reintroduced to the position, has yet to play the field in back-to-back days and is off to a sluggish start at the plate, his return from the 60-day injured list wouldn't appear to be imminent.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Ha-Seong Kim See More
With the regular season at the halfway mark in many points leagues, it's time to stash players who could provide big boosts over the summer, like Kansas City Royals top prospect Jac Caglianone.
Finding the next big thing on the mound is always a top priority in fantasy leagues, which makes young hurlers like the Minnesota Twins' Zebby Matthews intriguing targets.
The latest update to the RotoWire Roundtable Rankings sees Jackson Chourio move into the back of the first round.
With Shohei Ohtani set for more days off and fewer steals this season, Bobby Witt Jr. has moved into the top spot in our Roundtable Rankings.
Rankings from four RotoWire experts are combined into a consensus top-300, but there's no consensus about who should occupy the top spot.
Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
Some saw Kim having a good year for a loaded San Diego lineup but we are not aware of anyone who projected him to be the third-best fantasy batter on the team over the course of the full season. Kim set a professional career-best with his 38 steals and also surfaced the power and run-scoring abilities the marketplace hoped for from him in 2022. He has increased his ability to accept walks in each of his three seasons with San Diego and his batting average has improved in kind. His batting average has room for improvement, and it must come from him improving his outputs against righties as he has been a below-average producer against righties (95 wRC+ last season) while excelling against southpaws (148 wRC+ last season.) The triple position eligibility is going to further push up his draft day price for fantasy managers whereas he was one of the more incredible fantasy bargains this time last year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Backup plan for Detroit?
The Tigers could go after Kim, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, if the club is unable to sign Alex Bregman, reports Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press.
ANALYSIS
Landing Bregman is Detroit's top offseason priority, but the organization still wants to add to its infield if it misses out on the third baseman. Kim appeared to have a strong market early in the offseason, but the rumor mill has been fairly quiet of late. He isn't likely to be ready for Opening Day as he completes his recovery but is expected to be available within the first month of the season.
