• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Move to IL made official

  Rotowire Mar 25, 2026

  The Dodgers placed Edman (ankle) on the 10-day injured list Monday. The IL move for Edman was a formality, as he's still working his way back from right ankle surgery and didn't play in any Cactus League contests. The Dodgers are aiming for Edman to be ready for his season debut around late May. Per MLB.com, Edman has been able to take batting practice and recently progressed to straight-line running.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Looking at late May return

  Rotowire Mar 23, 2026

  Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Monday that he is hopeful that Edman (ankle) will be available to make his 2026 regular-season debut in late May, Jack Harris of the California Post reports. Edman continues to rehab from right ankle surgery that he underwent in mid-November. There was initial optimism that he would be ready for major-league play in late April, but that timeline has been pushed by one month. With Hyeseong Kim opening the season in Triple-A, the Dodgers will turn to Miguel Rojas, Santiago Espinal and Alex Freeland to fill the void at second base left by Edman.

  Rotowire Mar 17, 2026

  Edman (ankle) has continued to ramp up his running progression and is also taking on-field batting practice, per MLB.com. Edman seems to be making steady progress in his recovery from right ankle surgery. He's already been ruled out for Opening Day, though it's possible that he could be ready to join the Dodgers before the end of April. Edman is eventually slated to start at second base this season, and while he's out that position could be manned by Hyeseong Kim, Miguel Rojas, Alex Freeland or a combination of that trio.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Taking swings in batting cage

  Rotowire Mar 3, 2026

  Edman (ankle) has started taking swings in the batting cage but is not expected to play in any Cactus League games before Dodgers camp breaks, Jack Harris of the California Post reports. Edman is recovering from offseason right ankle surgery and has already been ruled out for Opening Day. He will likely stay back in extended spring training to continue his rehab before eventually getting assigned to a minor-league affiliate for a rehab assignment. The Dodgers have not yet revealed a target date for Edman's season debut.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Ruled out for Opening Day

  Rotowire Feb 16, 2026

  Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Edman (ankle) will begin the season on the injured list, Jack Harris of the California Post reports. Edman has dealt with a nagging right ankle injury for a couple years and finally underwent surgery to correct the issue this offseason. Roberts said Monday that the team will take a "methodical" pace with Edman and "take the long view" with his return, suggesting it's likely to be longer than a minimum stay on the injured list for the switch hitter. While Edman is out, Hyeseong Kim, Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland will be in the mix for playing time at second base for the Dodgers.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Question mark for Opening Day

  Rotowire Jan 28, 2026

  Edman (ankle) will have a delayed start to spring training as he continues to rehab from ankle surgery, and it's possible he won't be available by Opening Day, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. The 30-year-old underwent the ankle surgery in mid-November, but his recovery and rehab apparently haven't gone fully according to plan. Edman still has about two months to get up to speed for Opening Day, and it'll be worth keeping an eye on his rehab progress throughout spring training. Hyeseong Kim and Andy Ibanez could form a platoon at second base should Edman require a stint on the IL to begin 2026.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Ankle surgery scheduled

  Rotowire Nov 11, 2025

  Edman will undergo surgery on his right ankle sometime next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Edman has dealt with ankle trouble multiple times within the past couple of years, and he'll now elect to go under the knife in order to properly address the issue. General manager Brandon Gomes said the team expects Edman to be ready for the start of spring training, so the 30-year-old's availability for Opening Day likely won't be affected.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Offseason ankle surgery possible

  Rotowire Oct 27, 2025

  Edman said Saturday that he and the Dodgers will "probably evaluate" whether he should undergo offseason surgery on his nagging right ankle injury, DodgersBeat.com reports. Edman first injured his ankle in June 2024 on a rehab assignment when he was still a member of the Cardinals. He's aggravated it multiple times since then, leading to a pair of stints on the injured list this season. While Edman noted Saturday that his ankle is currently "feeling really good," the Dodgers have been limiting the super utility player to second base due to concern over the injury flaring up again. If it's decided after the World Series that ankle surgery is needed, Edman could get a late start to the 2026 season. The lingering ankle problem could be the main cause in Edman's lack of activity on the basepaths the last two years. After averaging 29.7 steals per season from 2021-to-2023 with the Cardinals, Edman has just nine stolen bases in 10 attempts during his 134 games as a Dodger, and he's also seen his sprint speed drop off the last two seasons.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Nursing ankle injury

  Rotowire Sep 26, 2025

  Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Edman is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners due to ankle soreness, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. Edman appeared to tweak his ankle on a diving catch attempt during Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, which prompted him to sit out Thursday's contest. Roberts relayed that Edman's ankle is "a little sore," and with the Dodgers clinching the NL West in Thursday's win over Arizona, Edman will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game for rest purposes. Edman will be joined by Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench in Friday's series opener while Miguel Rojas starts at the keystone and bats sixth.

  Rotowire Sep 26, 2025

  Edman is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday. Edman will be out of the starting lineup for a second consecutive game, though that presumably has more to do with the Dodgers capturing the NL West following their 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. He'll join Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench while Miguel Rojas starts at second base and bats sixth.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Delivers game-winning RBI

  Rotowire Sep 25, 2025

  Edman went 3-for-5 with a run and an RBI in a 5-4 win in 11 innings against Arizona on Wednesday. Edman came up with a clutch knock in the 11th inning when he singled to center field with two outs to produce what ended up being the winning run. Overall, the infielder/outfielder collected three singles in the contest, marking his first three-hit game since he went 4-for-5 against the Mets all way back on May 31. It's been a rough campaign for Edman -- he has a meager .229/.278/.387 slash line through 96 games and has missed substantial time due to injuries -- but Los Angeles will likely look to him to provide a spark in the playoffs as he did last year when he was named the NLCS MVP.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Reinstated from IL

  Rotowire Sep 10, 2025

  The Dodgers reinstated Edman (ankle) from the injured list Wednesday. Edman played five games in a rehab assignment while working his way back from a sprained ankle he suffered in early August, during which he went 4-for-14 with three walks and a run scored. Now fully healthy, he should reclaim his role as an everyday starter -- likely spending most of his time in the outfield. Justin Dean was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.
