Starts in Portland match
Kim (hamstring) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's clash with Portland Timbers.
Analysis: Kim will bounce back to his usual center-back role despite having made just one start earlier in the season, missing most matches due to calf and hamstring injuries. With Jackson Ragen suspended and Yeimar Gomez (calf) out, Kim will likely log as many minutes as his physical form allows him, forming a central pairing alongside Stuart Hawkins.
Returns to sidelines
Kim is out for the time being due to a hamstring injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Kim had been questionable with a calf injury earlier in the season and has now returned to the report post-break with a hamstring issue, suggesting either a new problem or a separate injury picked up in pre-return training. He's a central defensive option for Seattle who just returned in their match ahead of the break, earning the start. With Alexander Roldan (hip) also out, expect Jackson Ragen and Antino Lopez to start at center-back. A return for Kim is up in the air, a rough season so far for a player who would likely start if he could stay fit.
