Braves set to reinstate Ha-Seong Kim from rehabilitation assignment

The Atlanta Braves will reinstate infielder Ha-Seong Kim to their roster, following the conclusion of his rehabilitation assignment on August 1, 2026. The team has 48 hours to create a roster spot for Kim as the trade deadline approaches. Kim's 2026 season has been challenging, having only recorded five hits in 27 games. Initially expected to be the starting shortstop, his role has been taken over by other players such as Mauricio Dubon and Jorge Mateo. It remains unclear if Kim will have an opportunity to reclaim the starting position, as he is set to become a free agent at the end of the season.
