Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Kim (shoulder) has been taking part in defensive work and hitting in the batting cage, Sebastian Abdon Ibarra of DodgerBlue.com. "Hyeseong is doing well. He took some swings in the cage. I think on Friday we'll get him in a hitting group," Roberts said. "So he's coming along. I think he says he's almost pain-free, so hopefully we'll get him back here soon."

Kim visibly struggled while swinging due to left shoulder bursitis and went 3-for-24 at the plate in his final nine games prior to landing on the injured list July 29. According to MLB.com, the rookie infielder resumed swinging a bat, taking grounders and running Monday, so his stay on the injured list may not necessarily be a lengthy one.
