Mason McCoy has stepped up in Kim's absence, impressing the coaching staff with his performance. Shildt noted that McCoy has done a nice job filling the shortstop void, allowing for adjustments in the lineup, including giving Bogaerts the opportunity to play shortstop and Solano a chance to enter the lineup. McCoy's contributions are seen as valuable during this transitional period for the team.

Mason McCoy has filled in as the primary shortstop since Ha-Seong Kim was placed on the 10-day injured list. He has made four appearances at the position during this time, showcasing his readiness to step up when called upon. Prior to this role, his overall contributions to the team have been minimal.
