Edman (ankle) will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and bat leadoff against the Mariners on Saturday.
Ankle soreness has kept Edman from playing in the Dodgers' last two games, but a few days of rest now have the 30-year-old ready to return to the starting nine. In 10 games since returning from the injured list, he's gone 9-for-38 (.237) with a homer, five RBI and six runs scored.
