After confirming the recovery of Kim Hye-sung and Tommy Hyun-soo Edman, the Dodgers announced on the 7th (local time) that they have redeployed outfielders James Outman and Esteury Lewis to Triple-A.
The two players immediately joined the Oklahoma City Comets, an affiliated minor league team, and were put into the game against the Reno Aces.
Kim Hye-sung's injury occurred during the second attack against the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium on the 4th. He reportedly felt pain when the foul ball he hit hit his left ankle.
Coach Dave Roberts said shortly after the game, "Kim Hye-sung's condition is good," but fans' anxiety grew as Kim Hye-sung benched against the Mets for two consecutive days.
The club had taken steps to include prospective players on the away roster in case anything happened.
However, Kim Hye-sung appeared bright and recovered by participating in team training at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Sunday. The Dodgers posted the footage on its official SNS.
In particular, Kim Hye-sung met with Eric Jokish, a former Kiwoom Heroes player, who visited the stadium, and created a relaxed appearance of talking and taking pictures together.
Roberts also dismissed concerns about players' injuries.
Sports Illustrated said on the 7th, "There was a possibility that some or all of Kim Hye-sung and Edman could be registered on the injured list this week, and the Dodgers included Outman and Lewis in the taxi squad in preparation," adding, "However, as Roberts judged that the two players' conditions were not problematic, the preliminary players' return to the minor leagues was decided."
Unfortunately, Kim Hye-sung was also unable to participate in the match.
Edman, who suffered a right ankle injury, was listed in the starting lineup as second baseman in the eighth batting order, recording a 1-for-4 record.
The Dodgers had 10 hits on the day, but failed to take advantage of the scoring opportunity and suffered a 0-5 complete defeat by the St. Louis Cardinals.
