The Padres pulled Kim (shoulder) off his recovery program Saturday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Kim has been on the injured list since mid-August due to right shoulder inflammation. Despite spending more than a month on the IL, he's made little progress in his ability to throw the ball and will now shift his focus to getting ready for the start of the 2025 campaign. He'll close the book on 2024 with a .233/.330/.370 slash line alongside 47 RBI and 22 stolen bases across 121 games.
