Tommy Edman's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.

Utility specialist Tommy Edman (wrist) was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday as part of a three-team trade with the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox. Edman has yet to make his season debut following offseason wrist surgery and some ankle soreness in the middle of July. However, he is close to a return, as he is currently on a rehab assignment. Given his potential to play all over the field for Los Angeles, he should be added in most 12-plus team leagues. Last season, Edman finished with a .248 average, 13 home runs, 25 doubles, four triples, and 27 stolen bases.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) is drawing interest from both the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. Edman hasn't played yet this year while recovering from multiple injuries, but that hasn't stopped either team from going for the versatile 29-year-old in the trade market. Edman provides quality defense at prime positions and is a decent bat who can steal bases, making him a perfect piece to slot into a contending team. The Cardinals will likely look for a pretty decent package for the switch-hitter, but if he does get traded he will see an uptick in fantasy value with either of the teams rumored to be interested in him.
