Edman (ankle) has been able to run straight ahead without pain, and manager Dave Roberts recently said the infielder/outfielder will next be "doing some curves," per MLB.com.
Edman appears to making progress in his recovery from a right ankle sprain, though the Dodgers intend to allow his ankle to fully heal before activating him off the IL. The expectation remains that Edman will remain sidelined until at least early September. A rehab stint will likely be in play before Edman returns to the big-league club, but for the time being, it's unclear when that will take place.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Still on pace for September return
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Edman (ankle) has been able to take part in baseball activities and remains likely to return from the 10-day injured list at some point in early September, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Edman is further away from a return from the IL than fellow utility players Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) and Enrique Hernandez (elbow), both of whom are set to begin rehab assignments with Triple-A Oklahoma City this week. A clearer timeline for Edman's return should emerge once he's cleared for a rehab assignment, which could happen soon after he reaches the point in his recovery program that he's able to run the bases without any restrictions. Edman was placed on the IL on Aug. 4 due to a right ankle sprain, the same ankle that he had previously injured earlier in the season.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Likely out until September
Rotowire
Edman (ankle) will likely remain on the injured list until September, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Edman landed on the injured list Monday with a right ankle sprain, and the Dodgers are going to play it safe by keeping him on the shelf for an extended period of time. The team wants to give him all the time he needs to make a full recovery to ensure he's at 100 percent for the postseason. With Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) also on the IL, Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland have been seeing time at the keystone for Los Angeles.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Officially placed on IL
Rotowire
Edman (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Dodgers on Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Edman will head to the IL, as expected, after suffering a sprained right ankle during Sunday's 3-0 win over the Rays.

He'll be forced to miss at least 10 days, and in a corresponding move, Max Muncy (knee) was activated from the 10-day IL on Monday.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Aggravates ankle injury
Rotowire
Edman was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays in the top of the fifth inning due to a right ankle sprain. He went 1-for-2 with a base hit prior to his departure.
Edman injured the same ankle last week, also while running the bases, but he returned to the lineup Tuesday. Given the recurring nature of the issue, Edman could be a candidate for the injured list. The Dodgers are expected to get Max Muncy (knee) back from the IL as soon as Monday, so rookie Alex Freeland could have his stay in the majors extended if Edman lands on the IL in a corresponding move.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Ticketed for IL
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts acknowledged after Sunday's 3-0 win over the Rays that Edman will likely require a stint on the injured list, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports. "I just don't see how it's not an IL [situation]," Roberts said, after Edman exited the game in the top of the fifth inning with a sprained right ankle.
For the second time in a week, Edman tweaked his ankle while running the bases, and though he avoided a trip to the IL the first time, it doesn't look as though he will be as fortunate this time around. According to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register, Edman is scheduled to have his ankle examined when the Dodgers return to Los Angeles before a timeline for the utility man's return is established. Provided Max Muncy (knee) makes it out of his rehab game with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday no worse for the wear, he's expected to be activated Monday while Edman goes on the IL in a corresponding move. Muncy should step back in as the Dodgers' everyday third baseman, while Alex Freeland and Miguel Rojas will vie for playing time at the keystone in the absence of Edman and Hyeseong Kim (shoulder).

Edman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Cincinnati.
Edman homered Tuesday in his return to action after missing Monday's game with an ankle injury.

Miguel Rojas will start at second base and Alex Freeland will man third base for the Dodgers in the series finale in Cincinnati.
