When Kim enters a game, he'll be making his big-league debut. That milestone will occur roughly four months after he joined the Dodgers on a multi-year pact worth $12.5 million guaranteed. Kim had previously spent his professional career playing in the Korea Baseball Organization league.

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.

Tommy Edman's injury creates an opportunity for Hyeseong Kim to make his major league debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
