Columnist Dylan Hernández writes that the Dodgers need to make liberal use of the injured list. Release Chris Taylor. Do whatever is necessary for Hyeseong Kim to remain in Los Angeles.

Since then, Kim has delivered in a big way. He’s hitting .360 over 11 MLB games, including his first career home run—a game-tying blast to right-center on Wednesday night. Add in his versatility across the outfield and infield, and Kim is quietly becoming one of the Dodgers’ most valuable short-term assets.

Kim’s speed could be a valuable weapon off the bench, but he is likely to head back to Triple-A when Tommy Edman returns in order to get more playing time and work on his swing.
