The Atlanta Braves lost Ha-Seong Kim to a finger injury that required surgery, with the shortstop likely out until close to the All-Star Break. What are Atlanta's options for replacing him on the roster?

Per Rosenthal, Athletics offered Ha-Seong Kim 4/$48M with "room to grow", presumably meaning incentives.
They were going to ask him to play second base, leaving Jacob Wilson at shortstop
He took 1/$20M and guaranteed time at shortstop from Atlanta instead.

Mike Yastrzemski (a LH fly ball pull hitter) going from Oracle Park, which suppresses those types of hitters, to Truist Park’s short porch in right field, should give a boost to his home run totals.
Here are his home run totals from last year if he had played his home games at Truist Park.
