Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Edman will hit the bench after he started each of the past three games -- two at third base, one in left field -- while going a collective 5-for-12 with a double and a walk. His clearest path to regular playing time could eventually come at second base, where Alex Freeland (.649 OPS over 174 plate appearances this season) has been serving as the Dodgers' primary option since being called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on May 27.
