Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Offseason ankle surgery possible
Rotowire
Edman said Saturday that he and the Dodgers will "probably evaluate" whether he should undergo offseason surgery on his nagging right ankle injury, DodgersBeat.com reports.
Edman first injured his ankle in June 2024 on a rehab assignment when he was still a member of the Cardinals. He's aggravated it multiple times since then, leading to a pair of stints on the injured list this season. While Edman noted Saturday that his ankle is currently "feeling really good," the Dodgers have been limiting the super utility player to second base due to concern over the injury flaring up again. If it's decided after the World Series that ankle surgery is needed, Edman could get a late start to the 2026 season. The lingering ankle problem could be the main cause in Edman's lack of activity on the basepaths the last two years. After averaging 29.7 steals per season from 2021-to-2023 with the Cardinals, Edman has just nine stolen bases in 10 attempts during his 134 games as a Dodger, and he's also seen his sprint speed drop off the last two seasons.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Nursing ankle injury
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Edman is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners due to ankle soreness, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Edman appeared to tweak his ankle on a diving catch attempt during Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, which prompted him to sit out Thursday's contest. Roberts relayed that Edman's ankle is "a little sore," and with the Dodgers clinching the NL West in Thursday's win over Arizona, Edman will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game for rest purposes. Edman will be joined by Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench in Friday's series opener while Miguel Rojas starts at the keystone and bats sixth.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Delivers game-winning RBI
Rotowire
Edman went 3-for-5 with a run and an RBI in a 5-4 win in 11 innings against Arizona on Wednesday.
Edman came up with a clutch knock in the 11th inning when he singled to center field with two outs to produce what ended up being the winning run. Overall, the infielder/outfielder collected three singles in the contest, marking his first three-hit game since he went 4-for-5 against the Mets all way back on May 31. It's been a rough campaign for Edman -- he has a meager .229/.278/.387 slash line through 96 games and has missed substantial time due to injuries -- but Los Angeles will likely look to him to provide a spark in the playoffs as he did last year when he was named the NLCS MVP.
Edman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Giants.
Edman has gone 6-for-28 (.214) over seven games since returning from an ankle injury, adding four RBI and five runs scored in that span. The 30-year-old's last homer had come July 29 versus the Reds, but he missed more than five weeks on the injured list between long balls. For the season, he's up to a .227/.277/.390 slash line with 13 homers, 48 RBI, 48 runs scored and three stolen bases over 93 contests.
