The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a surprising decision to name their Opening Day roster, with the optioning of Hyeseong Kim to Triple-A Oklahoma City and Alex Freeland to replace him. Kim had been competing for the second-place spot throughout the spring, but Freeland's performance was inconsistent due to his struggles in Cactus League play and Kim's ability to play in the outfield. Freeland is expected to platoon at second base alongside Miguel Rojas while Tommy Edman continues recovering from surgery. The move may indicate the progress of Kim's swing, which he has made since signing a three-year, $12.5 million deal last year.
