Hyun Soo Kim: Returns to Korea
Hyun Soo Kim signed a four-year, $10.58 million deal to return to Korea and play for the LG Twins of the KBO, Sports Seoul reports.The 29-year-old outfielder was 20 percent better than league average (120 wRC+) in 346 plate appearances, almost exclusively against righties, in 2016 with the Orioles. However, he was much, much worse (61 wRC+) in 239 plate appearances split between the Orioles and Phillies last season. Given the length of the deal, he can be forgotten in almost all dynasty formats.

Phillies' Hyun Soo Kim: Will be used in bench role
GM Matt Klentak said Hyun Soo Kim will likely be used as a bench player, Gordie Jones of CSN Philadelphia reports.Kim is a free agent after the season, so the Philadelphia Phillies have little to gain by giving him at-bats at the expense of their young outfielders. Odubel Herrera, Aaron Altherr and Nick Williams should start in the outfield most nights moving forward unless the Phillies opt to add one more of their young outfielders to the mix. Kim will have his playing time sprinkled in to give the other players an occasional day off.

Orioles' Hyun Soo Kim: Dealt to Phillies
Hyun Soo Kim was traded to the Phillies, along with minor-leaguer Garrett Cleavinger and international signing bonus slots, for Jeremy Hellickson and cash considerations Friday, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports.The 29-year-old has shown flashes of productiveness over the past two seasons with the Baltimore Orioles, but could never really break through for a major role in left field, ultimately being phased out in favor of Trey Mancini. Nonetheless, with Howie Kendrick traded by Philadelphia in a separate move Friday, Kim may get a legitimate shot at an everyday starting role prior to becoming an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The lefty is slashing just .2332/.305/.288 with a -0.4 WAR through 56 games, so he'll need to show some improvement before becoming fantasy-worthy.

Orioles' Hyun Soo Kim: Out of lineup again Saturday
Hyun Soo Kim is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rays.This marks the third straight game that Kim will ride the bench while Joey Rickard gets the start in left. Kim earned an at-bat during Friday's game, but struck out when he came in to pinch hit. Although Kim has been struggling at the plate, in the past he would typically start against right-handed pitching. With Jake Odorizzi (a right-hander) on the mound Saturday for Tampa Bay, the Baltimore Orioles appear to be riding Rickard's hot bat instead.

Orioles' Hyun Soo Kim: Sitting due to platoon disadvantage Thursday
Hyun Soo Kim is not in the Baltimore Orioles' lineup Thursday against the White Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.Joey Rickard will lead off for the O's against White Sox left-hander David Holmberg, who's been surprisingly effective against left-handed bats. Despite a clearer avenue to playing time with Chris Davis (oblique) on the 10-day disbaled list and Trey Mancini sliding from left field to first base, Kim will be stuck in this particular arrangement until Davis returns, likely sometime in July. It's tough to get excited about Kim in mixed leagues unless he can be deployed as a head-to-head matchup play vs. righties in deeper formats with daily transactions.
