6:22 pm: Manager Dave Roberts told reporters this afternoon (including Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times) that Edman, who was in midfield today, may regularly pitch on the grass with his left hand. He added that Edman can also see time on second base based on full speed running after an ankle injury.
5:39 pm: Dodge Toolman Tommy Edman The club announced today that it is being activated on the injured list today. Rookie Center Fielder Justin Dean In the corresponding move, it was selected as a triple A to make room for Edman on the roster.
Edman, 30, joined the Dodgers’ three team trade with the White Sox and Cardinal last year. Edman has since cuts .231/.285/.403 with 123 regular season games. This is good for a 90-only WRC+, although it is worth noting that Edman reached .328/.354/.508 in the Dodgers World Series last year and even earned NLCS MVP honors for his job against the Mets.
During the offseason, the switchover basketball signing was extended, guaranteeing his 74mm in five seasons. This may seem like a high price for players who are usually below average offensively, but Edman is a Gold Glove movement guard who can play anywhere on the diamond to make up for his lack of influence. He has mainly hit second base and shortstop throughout his career, but has worked in more than 600 innings in midfield and third base during his career.
Edman mostly ran a second homer at the center and hot corners during the 2025 campaign after an even split time between shortstop and midfielder last year. That was when he wasn’t on the injury list, because the Dodgers needed to not have his ankle injury for most of the season, so he needed to spend the whole season. The latest incident occurred in early August, leaving him on hold for more than a month. Now he is healthy, he joins the Dodgers roster and has seen it recently Will Smith and Max Munchy Some people are injured themselves.
With Edman and Monsy Hyeseong Kim There are no regular positions in the lineup. The Dodgers sometimes show in recent weeks that King can look at left field in terms of struggling veterans Michael Conforto. This may happen given his equally mediocre performance in recent weeks, given his 78 WRC+ this year, Edman has recovered from Keystone’s thump. Regardless of what effect Edman’s return from the injured roster might have in the Dodgers’ roster, it’s a good thing for Los Angeles to have a deeper choice.
As for Dean, the 28-year-old rookie has played 18 games with the Dodgers this year. The job is almost entirely a pinch runner and defensive replacement, as Dean’s name only had two MLB cricket appearances, but he went 0-2 with a strikeout, despite his 1-on-1 on the base racers in the Grand Slams. Dean, a 17th-rounder who was attacked by Braves during the 2018 draft, had part of four seasons in a part of Triple-A, and in his game he was cut in .233/.340/.350 in 57 steals in 69 attempts. He will be back in the minor league for the time being, but the Dodgers will still have the option later this year if speed racing is needed.
