Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Ha-Seong Kim finally got to join the team in their series opener against the Minnesota Twins after months of rehabbing a shoulder injury. In the top of the seventh inning, his debut took a scary turn.

MINNEAPOLIS – Ha-Seong Kim, the Rays’ big offseason free agency acquisition, made his debut on Friday after recovering from offseason surgery on his right shoulder. Now the team is hoping he’ll avoid a quick return to the injured list.
