Signed to a three-year, $12.5 million contract last winter, Kim was working on his swing in Triple-A. The promotion is likely to be temporary with Edman expected to return next Saturday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have recalled South Korean All-Star Hyeseong Kim and placed second baseman Tommy Edman on the injured list.

Edman injured his right ankle on a slide during Tuesday’s game against the Marlins, but he is optimistic that he’ll be back in the lineup as soon as Saturday.
