The Los Angeles Dodgers are finalizing decisions regarding their 26-man postseason roster as they pursue a historic third consecutive championship following World Series titles in 2024 and 2025. Infielder Hyeseong (Kim Hye-seong) was recalled from the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets to be evaluated for the National League Division Series (NLDS). While his offensive production was modest—posting a .259 batting average and .651 OPS in 43 Major League games—manager Dave Roberts emphasized his value as a specialist for his “elite speed as a pinch runner or for late-game defensive utility.” Kim was ultimately included in the NLDS roster, though his playing time was minimal, appearing only once as a defensive substitute in the final game of the series. Following a period of inconsistent hitting, Kim was sent down to Triple-A in late May and did not receive a call-up for the remainder of the regular season. Despite a seven-game hitting streak in Triple-A in late August, U.S. media outlets expressed skepticism regarding his lack of power. For the National League Championship Series (NLCS) against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Dodgers excluded Kim from the roster to prioritize pitching depth and bullpen stability, calling up reliever Justin Robleski instead. The club also opted for rookie Jose De Paula and veteran Miguel Rojas to provide left-handed pinch-hitting options. Following a 1-2 loss in Game 1 of the NLCS, Kim’s chances of re-entering the roster for the World Series remain uncertain. Kim has since described his second Major League season as the “most frustrating experience of his career.” As the season concludes, veteran infielder Miguel Rojas has announced his intention to retire. Following a shoulder injury sustained while diving for a ball in September, Rojas was substituted out of a game against the Miami Marlins.
