Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/infielder Tommy Edman will begin taking ground balls at third base, manager Dave Roberts said. The news comes after the Dodgers placed starting third baseman Max Muncy on the 10-day injured list with a knee bruise. As long as Muncy is out, the Dodgers will rely on the combination of Miguel Rojas, Enrique Hernandez, and Edman to handle the hot corner. The versatile Edman has made 94 major league appearances at third, though none since 2022. He's starting at second base Thursday against the Chicago White Sox, while Rojas is in the lineup at third.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/infielder Tommy Edman (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This appears to be a routine rest day for Edman, but he has also been nursing an ankle injury. That being said, the Dodgers have been mainly keeping Edman in the infield lately. However, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Edman's ankle is good enough for him to return to the outfield. That means, Hyeseong Kim figures to see most of his playing time at second base, which is his primary position.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. This appears to be a routine rest day for Edman who sat out on Wednesday as well. It's unclear why Edman is getting so many rest days. Possibly, Edman is dealing with a minor injury and the Dodgers are giving him some time to rest and recover. Regardless, Hyeseong Kim will cover second base and bat ninth versus right-hander Landen Roupp on Saturday.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman (ankle) is missing from the lineup on Wednesday due to a tweaked ankle, reports Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. While the injury doesn't sound serious in nature, it's worth noting that this is the same ankle that landed Edman on the injured list from April 30 to May 18. While the 30-year-old is considered day-to-day for now, there's enough of a concern that Esteury Ruiz is with the team on the taxi squad in case another trip to the injured list is necessary. He was just getting back into the swing of things as of late, with at least one hit in five of his last seven games.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/infielder Tommy Edman is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. Edman will take a seat for the second straight game. It's unclear why Edman is getting benched for the second straight game, but it doesn't appear to be injury related. Edman did end up going 0-for-2 off the bench on Tuesday. Enrique Hernandez will take over second base and bat ninth versus right-hander Griffin Canning on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the team wanted to stay away from having Tommy Edman play center field on back-to-back days while being mindful of his ankle, which is why he started at second base with Hyeseong Kim in center field in Monday's loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Edman will take the day off in Game 2 of the series at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday. It means that Andy Pages will likely be back in center on Tuesday, with Kim starting at the keystone. The Dodgers are easing Edman back onto the field after he missed over two weeks with a right-ankle injury. The 30-year-old switch-hitter has gone 1-for-8 with an RBI in two games since returning from the injured list on Sunday. Fantasy managers are hoping that Edman will get going once he gets back to a regular schedule. He's currently slashing .244/.285/.496 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 19 RBI and two steals in 119 at-bats.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) off the 10-day injured list. In addition, Edman is slated to cover center field and will bat in the six-hole during their series finale against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday afternoon. Edman has been held out of action since the end of April due to an ankle injury. During the opening month of the campaign, Edman was enjoying an impressive start to the campaign, posting a .252/.294/.523 slash line with eight home runs and two stolen bases. Under the hood, Edman generated an impressive .399 xwOBA and a .312 xBA, which are both well above the average marks. Given his placement in a potent lineup and five-category upside, he should be started in all standard formats going forward.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Thursday that infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) is close to coming off the 10-day injured list and will not need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment first. At the earliest, Edman could rejoin the Dodgers this weekend at Dodger Stadium for their series against the crosstown-rival Los Angeles Angels. If the 30-year-old doesn't return this weekend, he could be back next week against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks. L.A. could ease Edman in when he returns since he won't go on a rehab assignment, but there's no question that he's an everyday player for the Dodgers, which means rookie Hyeseong Kim will move to a bench role or back to the minors when Edman returns. Edman should be rostered in all fantasy leagues. He'll be returning to a .252/.295/.523 slash line with eight homers, 24 RBI, 19 runs and two steals.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) is still dealing with some discomfort in his ankle when doing straight-line running, according to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. Edman is scheduled for live at-bats next week. The Dodgers placed the 30-year-old on the 10-day injured list on April 30 with an injured right ankle. He's already eligible to return from the IL, but he won't be able to rejoin the big-league club for the rest of their weekend series in Arizona against the division-rival Diamondbacks. Before his injury, the versatile switch-hitter was batting .252/.295/.523 with an .818 OPS, eight home runs, 24 RBI, 19 runs scored and two stolen bases in 111 at-bats. Edman is on pace for a career-high in homers and he should continue to be productive in runs and RBI when he returns to L.A. Hyeseong Kim and Miguel Rojas should continue sharing second base duties while Edman is out.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) is unlikely to come off the injured list during this weekend's series in Arizona against the division-rival Diamondbacks, according to manager Dave Roberts. Edman will do some running on Tuesday, and Roberts said his ankle hasn't responded as fast as the team initially anticipated. It's more likely that Edman will return from the IL after next Monday's off day. The Dodgers could use the 29-year-old back with Teoscar Hernandez (groin) landing on the IL, but they aren't going to rush anything. Until Edman is able to return, rookie Hyeseong Kim and Kike Hernandez figure to split playing time at the keystone in L.A. Edman is on pace for a career-high in homers after already hitting eight in 30 games in 2025 before his injury. It's possible he's back for the series opener on May 13 against the Athletics.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) is heading to the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 30, after suffering an ankle injury on Tuesday earlier this week. It was reported that he "tweaked" his ankle during Tuesday's game, and it didn't seem too serious, but he will now be out for several games in the short term with right ankle inflammation. The 29-year-old was slashing .252/.295/.523 with eight home runs, 24 RBI, 19 runs scored, and two steals over 30 games before the injury, so there is a good amount of production and versatility that the Dodgers will be missing. The good news is that they have offseason acquisition Hyeseong Kim coming up from Triple-A to replace him. Kim had tallied a .252-5-19-22-13 stat line over 28 games, and had made starts at second base, shortstop, and center field, so he can also provide versatility.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) remains absent from the team's starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the hosting Atlanta Braves. Edman sat out of Wednesday's series finale against the Miami Marlins after tweaking his ankle on Tuesday and won't be back on Friday despite having a scheduled off day on Thursday. The 29-year-old's injury isn't considered very serious, though, and manager Dave Roberts said he expected Edman to return in one of the first two games of this weekend's series. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Saturday to see if he's active. Veteran Miguel Rojas will start at second base again and will hit ninth on Friday against Braves right-hander Grant Holmes. DFS gamers should look elsewhere, as Rojas has very little fantasy upside at the bottom of the lineup. He's gone 12-for-44 (.273) this year with no homers, two RBI and two runs scored as a backup infielder.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle), who did not start in Wednesday's series finale win over the visiting Miami Marlins, said he tweaked his right ankle on Tuesday night and still felt some discomfort on Wednesday. The Dodgers have a scheduled day off on Thursday before beginning a series in Atlanta against the Braves on Friday, so fantasy managers will want to check back then to see if Edman is feeling good enough to play. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day until further notice. The veteran switch-hitter isn't tearing the cover off the baseball through the first month of the 2025 season -- he's hitting .252 (28-for-111) -- but he's managed to be productive for his fantasy managers with 24 RBI, 19 runs scored, two stolen bases and eight home runs in 30 games played.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Tommy Edman and catcher Will Smith are both taking a seat for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Miami Marlins. The hot-hitting Andy Pages is starting in center field and batting fifth, while Austin Barnes is doing the catching and hitting in the nine-hole against Marlins right-hander Cal Quantrill. Enrique Hernandez is at second and is hitting seventh. Pages is among the hottest hitters in baseball right now, as he comes into Wednesday's contest riding a seven-game hitting streak in which he's gone 17-for-29 with three doubles, four home runs, eight RBI, three steals and nine runs scored. Edman has been on the bench for two of the last three games and has gone 3-for-19 in his last six games. It's just a regular rest day for Smith, who is hitting a strong .316 (24-for-76) in the early going with three homers and 17 RBI for the Blue.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman is not in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting Miami Marlins at Dodger Stadium. With Edman starting on the bench on Monday, veteran Miguel Rojas will start at second base and will bat ninth against Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera. Edman currently boasts a modest .243 (26-for-107) batting average in the early going in 2025, but he has also delivered eight home runs, 19 RBI and 18 runs scored in the best lineup in baseball. The switch-hitting 29-year-old should return to action on Tuesday and continue to be productive offensively for fantasy managers. Edman went 1-for-11 with four strikeouts in the weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Rojas is one to ignore for DFS purposes. He's hitless in just one career at-bat against Cabrera.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Tommy Edman continued his early-season power surge Tuesday, launching a three-run home run in the first inning of Tuesday's 11-10 extra-inning loss to the Chicago Cubs. It was Edman's eighth home run of the season, already surpassing his total of six from last year. He also added a sacrifice fly and a single, finishing 2-for-4 with four RBI on the night. Edman is now slashing .272/.303/.576 and remains a key contributor to the Dodgers' potent lineup. Los Angeles will look to split the two-game series with the Cubs on Wednesday before an off day leading into the weekend

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in a 6-5 win over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. Edman launched 415-foot blast off Atlanta starter Bryce Elder in the fourth inning, giving him four homers in 31 at-bats in the early going. The veteran infielder should continue to put up counting stats this season hitting in the middle of a loaded Los Angeles lineup. He will be off on Thursday before the Dodgers open up a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman hit his first homer of the year in the Dodgers 6-3 win over the Cubs on Wednesday in Tokyo, Japan. It's certainly a good start to the season for the infielder, who also logged an RBI single in the first game of the Tokyo Series on Tuesday. He had a limited but productive debut season with the Dodgers in 2024, slashing .237/.294/.417 with six home runs, 20 RBI, 20 runs, and six stolen bases in 37 games. He has some sleeper appeal in this loaded Los Angeles lineup as he hopes to return to the form he showed from 2021 to 2023. He tallied double-digit home runs and at least 27 steals in each of those three seasons, which is a very valuable skillset for fantasy.

Super utilityman Tommy Edman and the Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to a five-year, $74 million contract extension on Friday, according to sources. The deal runs from 2025 through the 2029 season and includes a sixth-year team option. There's also a $17 million signing bonus and deferred money included. The 29-year-old started the 2024 season with the St. Louis Cardinals but didn't make his season debut until midway through August after he had already been traded to the Dodgers. The former sixth-round pick of the Cardinals in 2016 out of Stanford played both center field and shortstop for the Blue on their way to a World Series title, and he was named the National League Championship Series MVP against the Mets. In 37 regular-season games, Edman hit .237/.294/.417 with a .711 OPS, six homers, 20 RBI and six steals. The switch-hitter is better against lefties and should be an everyday player in 2025.

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Tommy Edman went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run in Game 2 of the World Series. Edman has now tallied at least one hit in each of the past eight games and tallied at least two hits in each of the past five. Throughout October, Edman has been one of the most consistent bats in the Dodger lineup as he currently holds a stellar .365/.358/.577 slash line with two home runs, 13 RBI, and four stolen bases. His impressive 11 RBI during the NLDS earned him MVP honors in that series. The veteran utility man will continue to be a popular pick in DFS contests given his incredible stretch on Monday evening when he faces Yankee right-hander Clarke Schmidt.
