The Los Angeles Dodgers added right-hander Michael Kopech and utility player Hyeseong Kim to their expanded roster Monday.
Kopech, who was acquired at the trade deadline from the Chicago White Sox last season, has made just eight appearances in 2025 because of various injuries. He has not allowed a run this season in seven innings pitched.
Kopech, 29, had elbow and shoulder soreness starting in spring training then needed surgery for a meniscus tear following a short pitching stint in June.
In 10 playoff appearances (nine innings) last season, Kopech was 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA, including 3 2/3 innings over four World Series appearances against the New York Yankees.
Kim, 26, made his major league debut May 3 and was batting .304 with two home runs and 12 stolen bases in 58 games before missing just over a month due to left shoulder bursitis.
The Dodgers, who have a two-game lead in the National League West, open a three-game series at Pittsburgh on Tuesday to begin a six-game road trip that also includes a visit to Baltimore.
