Kim Ha-seong (27, San Diego Padres) has been out of the starting lineup for the third consecutive day due to unexplained abdominal pain .The San Diego Padres will play the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park in San Diego, California, on Tuesday (July 20) without him in the starting lineup. Xander Bogaerts (shortstop) took Kim’s usual spot at first base, while Mashu Batten batted seventh in the batting order. Kim was in the starting lineup against the Oakland Athletics on April 18, but was removed shortly before the start of the game to undergo tests. “It’s not appendicitis, but we’re not sure what it is,” San Diego manager Bob Melvin said at the time. Kim told the San Diego Union-Tribune on Sept. 19, “The team doctor said it wasn’t a big deal, but I’ve had pain for a couple days. It doesn’t feel good. “This season, Kim is batting .265 with 17 home runs, 36 doubles, 58 RBIs, and 81 runs scored in 143 games. San Diego has just 10 games left in the regular season after tonight’s game against Colorado. Kim needs just three more home runs and four more stolen bases to become the first Asian player to reach the 20-homer, 40-steal mark in the big leagues .Luckily, it’s not a major issue and he could be back on the field sooner rather than later. MLB.com quoted Melvin as saying, “He’s feeling better. He could be back for the final game of the series against Colorado 온라인카지노 on April 21,” Melvin said.
