Kim will start in left field and man the leadoff spot Wednesday against the White Sox, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

After entering the season as the favorite to fill the larger portion of a platoon in left field, Kim has mostly become an afterthought with rookie Trey Mancini emerging as manager Buck Showalter's preferred option in that spot. However, with Chris Davis (oblique) hitting the 10-day disabled list Wednesday, it's expected that Mancini will now see most of his starts at first base, potentially opening up more at-bats for Kim in the outfield. Showalter will give an opportunity to the Korean import to prove himself in a table-setting role Wednesday with Seth Smith getting the night off, but look for Kim to occupy a lower spot in the lineup in subsequent starts.
