Braves Announce Kim Starting Lineup for Rockies Series
29 Aug
Summary
- Ha-Seong Kim starts consecutive games for the first time since June.
- Kim's current season batting average is .088, his career worst.
- Braves hold a five-game lead in the National League East.
The Atlanta Braves are set to open a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies on Friday night at Truist Park. Ha-Seong Kim has been included in the starting lineup for the series opener, marking his first consecutive starts since late June.
Kim's recent inclusion in the lineup follows a walk-off hit he delivered on Wednesday. However, his offensive performance this season has been challenging, with a batting average of .088 over 33 games. This marks his lowest offensive output of his career, despite signing a $20 million contract for the season.
The Braves are currently in strong form, holding a five-game lead in the National League East with a 79-55 record after sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers. Right-hander Grant Holmes is scheduled to pitch for Atlanta, entering the game with an 8-5 record and a 3.64 ERA.
Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies also announced their starting lineup. The Rockies are tied with the Los Angeles Angels for the worst record in Major League Baseball at 52-82.
