Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist, ankle) is set to make his return from the injured list on Monday. Edman is finally ready to make his season debut after missing a majority of the season due to multiple injuries. The 29-year-old can play all over the field but is expected to mainly play in center field for the Dodgers. Kevin Kiermaier has been playing a lot of center field lately, so he's likely going to slide into a bench role. Edman has been pretty reliable on offense and should be an asset in most fantasy formats.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle, wrist) is scheduled to come off the 60-day injured list to make his season and team debut on Monday for the start of a series against the Seattle Mariners at Dodger Stadium. Edman had offseason wrist surgery and recently suffered an ankle injury that has kept him from making his 2024 debut. However, he's finally on the cusp of a return for fantasy managers that have been stashing him all year. The 29-year-old should see most of his playing time in center field for the Dodgers, which is bad news for both Kevin Kiermaier and rookie Andy Pages, but Edman is also likely to be eased in to a regular role given his long layoff. In five minor-league rehab games at Triple-A Oklahoma City, Edman has gone 5-for-15 with a home run.
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist, ankle) took part in his first rehab game with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday and is slated to play seven innings on Tuesday, according to manager Dave Roberts. Barring any setbacks, Edman is on schedule to return from wrist surgery and a sprained ankle and make his season and Dodgers debut next Monday against the Seattle Mariners. Although it's unclear what kind of role he'll play right off the bat, Edman could eventually work his way into an everyday role in center field for the Dodgers down the stretch of the year. Even if he slots into the lower part of the batting order, the speedy 29-year-old switch-hitter will have legitimate fantasy upside as part of LA's vaunted lineup. Last year with the St. Louis Cardinals, Edman hit 25 doubles, scored 69 runs, and stole 27 bases in 137 games (479 at-bats). He makes a lot of sense as a stash across all formats.
Los Angeles Dodgers president Andrew Friedman said that he expects both third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) and infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) to be reinstated from the injured list for the team's next homestand, which begins a week from Monday. Muncy and Edman were set to start their minor-league rehab assignments over the weekend with Triple-A Oklahoma City, so barring a setback, they should both be with the Dodgers' big-league roster soon. Muncy has been out since May 17 with a right-oblique strain, while Edman has yet to play in 2024 after having offseason wrist surgery. The Dodgers acquired him from the Cardinals at the July 30 trade deadline. LA could ease both of them into their starting lineup when they are ready, but by the end of the regular season, both Muncy and Edman should be regular lineup pieces for the Blue.
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) and infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist, ankle) are expected to join Triple-A Oklahoma City on a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend. With that said, the two veteran infielders are at least a week before joining the Dodgers. Muncy is first set to participate in a simulated game on Thursday at Dodger Stadium, and barring any setbacks with his strained right oblique, he should be back with the major-league club sometime in mid-August. Edman will also participate in the sim outing as he works his way back from offseason right wrist surgery and a sprained ankle and toward his 2024 season debut. Muncy should immediately slot right back in as LA's everyday third baseman upon his return, while Edman should have a chance to push for regular at-bats in the outfield.
