Dodgers’ Hyeseong Kim optioned to minor leagues; Santiago Espinal re-signed

The Dodgers are optioning Hyeseong Kim back to the minor-leagues, a source with knowledge of the situation told The California Post on Friday, and re-signing former All-Star utilityman Santiago Espinal less than a week after designating him for assignment. It was only on Monday that Espinal was originally DFA’d by the Dodgers, in what was then a corresponding move for Kiké Hernández’s return from the injured list. But after clearing waivers and becoming a free agent this week, Espinal was quickly re-acquired by the team Friday — with Hernández having since gone back on the injured list with a strained oblique on Wednesday.
