Dodgers recall South Korean All-Star Hyeseong Kim and place Tommy Edman on injured list

ATLANTA (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled South Korean All-Star Hyeseong Kim on Saturday and placed second baseman Tommy Edman on the injured list.

Kim agreed to a $12.5 million, three-year contract with the Dodgers on Jan. 3 and opened the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Edman was put on the 10-day IL, retroactive to Wednesday, after missing two games with a sore right ankle. He ranks second on the team with eight home runs and 24 RBIs.

“Tommy ran (Friday) and just still didn't feel great,” manager Dave Roberts said before Saturday night's game against the Atlanta Braves. “Still some soreness in the ankle. He didn't feel he could play tonight or even tomorrow potentially.”

Roberts said he expects Edman to spend just the minimum 10 days on the injured list.

Edman's injury created an opportunity for Kim to make his major league debut Saturday night. He entered at second base in the ninth inning of a 10-3 victory.

“I'll figure it out to see if there's an opportunity to start,” Roberts said before the game. “Right now, he can come off the bench and fill in at certain spots.”

Chris Taylor started at second in a game delayed 3 hours, 6 minutes, because of rain and lightning.

Roberts said Kim's versatility as a middle infielder, outfielder and pinch runner was a factor in the team's decision, based on roster depth for what Roberts said is “potentially a short stint” in the majors.

Kim, 26, played eight seasons in South Korea, including the last six with the Seoul-based Kiwoom Heroes.

In 28 games with Oklahoma City, he batted .252 with five home runs, 19 RBIs and 13 stolen bases.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — John Marino scored at 4:03 of the third period to break a tie and give the Utah Mammoth a 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Thursday night.

Marino also assisted on Nick Schmaltz's 17th goal of the season and Karel Vejmelka made 26 stops as the Mammoth won for the fifth time in six games.

Mikko Rantanen scored and Jake Oettinger had 25 saves for Dallas, which has lost nine of its last 11 games.

Schmaltz broke a scoreless deadlock with 7 seconds left in the second period, tipping in a feed from Marino. It was the fourth latest goal in any regulation period in Utah's short franchise history.

The Mammoth nearly made it 2-0 just 38 seconds into the third, but Lawson Crouse had his goal wiped off the board for high-sticking.

Rantanen leveled the score with a power-play goal at the 2:04 of the third.

Marino answered two minutes later, snapping the puck home from long distance to put the Mammoth up 2-1 with his second winning goal of the season.

Utah improved to 16-1-1 this season when leading after two periods.

Stars: host Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Mammoth: host Seattle on Saturday.
