Kim went 2-for-4 with a triple, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over Chicago.
Kim came around to score San Diego's second run of the game on a fielder's choice play after reaching on an infield single and later stealing third.

Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Swipes third bag Wednesday
Rotowire
Kim went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-2 win against the Cardinals.
Kim reached base in half of his four plate appearances and notched his third steal of the season following a third-inning single. He is tied for third in the league in thefts in the early part of the campaign -- only Jarren Duran and Brice Turang, each of whom has six steals, have logged more. Kim has otherwise been fairly quiet so far, slashing .242/.333/.394 with a home run, four RBI and four runs through nine contests.
Kim went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and two additional runs scored during Sunday's win over the Giants.

Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Nabs second steal
Rotowire
Kim went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-4 win against the Giants.
Kim has reached base four times -- three via walk -- through three games this season, and he's stolen a base on half of those occasions. He recorded a career-high 38 steals in 47 attempts last year and appears to have the green light to run frequently this season. Kim has yet to get his bat going with just one hit in 10 at-bats, but the thefts have helped highlight what he can provide for fantasy managers.
