\n

The Tampa Bay Rays placed shortstop Ha-Seong Kim on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday night’s game against the Cincinnati Reds.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Kim injured his lower back during Monday’s 8-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox and hasn’t played since. The move is retroactive to Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Tampa Bay activated outfielder Jonny DeLuca (right shoulder) from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move. DeLuca was injured in April.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Kim, 29, has played in just 10 games with the Rays and is batting .226 with one homer and three RBIs in 31 at-bats. He played his first game for Tampa Bay on July 4 after recovering from offseason right shoulder surgery and a hamstring injury he sustained during his rehab.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Kim signed a two-year, $29 million deal with the Rays in the offseason and was slated to be the team’s starting shortstop. He is making $13 million this season and has a player option for $16 million in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Kim tore the labrum while diving back to first base on Aug. 18 as a member of the San Diego Padres and missed the rest of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

DeLuca, 27, last played for Tampa Bay on April 6. He batted .435 (10-for-23) with one RBI in nine games this season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

DeLuca was expected to return in a matter of weeks but multiple setbacks pushed back the timetable.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Tampa Bay also recalled left-hander Mason Montgomery from Triple-A Durham and designated right-hander Jacob Waguespack for assignment.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Montgomery, 25, is 1-2 with a 5.74 ERA in 40 relief appearances for the Rays this season. The Rays had a roster opening because they optioned right-hander Taj Bradley (6-6, 4.61) to Durham on Thursday’s off day.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Waguespack, 31, was 1-0 with an 0.46 ERA in 15 relief outings for Durham. He was DFA’d to open up a 40-man roster spot for DeLuca.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
