Tommy Edman Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) will undergo surgery on his right ankle next week, according to executive vice president and general manager Brandon Gomes. Barring a setback, Edman is expected to be ready around the start of spring training in February, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. The 30-year-old switch-hitter has had issues with the same ankle over the last couple of seasons, but hopefully the surgery will alleviate any concerns he might have had going forward. Edman has won World Series rings with L.A. in his first two seasons with the team while hitting .229/.280/.392 with a .672 OPS, 19 home runs, 69 RBI, 69 runs, and nine steals in 134 regular-season games. He hasn't been all that relevant in fantasy, but he has stepped up in the playoffs when it matters most the last two seasons, as Edman has hit .282 with 33 hits, four homers, 20 RBI, and 16 runs scored for the Blue.

Los Angeles Dodgers utilityman Tommy Edman (ankle) has been a strong contributor once again for the Dodgers in October despite playing through a lingering right-ankle injury that he's dealt with for the last two seasons. It's an injury that has caused Edman to miss significant time this year, landing him on the injured list two separate times. The 30-year-old had another setback with his ankle while playing in the final week of the regular season, which hasn't made him an option to take over in center field for the struggling Andy Pages. Edman has been limited to second base in the postseason. Edman said his ankle is "healthy," but he could need surgery this offseason to clean it up. The switch-hitting utility man hit a disappointing .225 during the regular season with 13 homers and 49 RBI, but he's picked things up in the postseason, going 11-for-42 (.262) with two homers and six RBI in 11 games.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Edman has found himself on the bench in three of the last six games coming into Friday's contest. Possibly, the Dodgers are just trying to be cautious with Edman who recently came off the injured list. Regardless, Edman will cover center field and bat fifth versus left-hander Robbie Ray on Friday. Fantasy managers who have Edman rostered can go ahead and get him into their lineups ahead of first pitch.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman is out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers have been fairly cautious with Edman since he returned from the injured list. He normally only plays in second consecutive games before getting a breather. Edman has struggled against right-handed pitching this season, so it makes sense why he's taking a seat on Thursday. In his absence, Miguel Rojas covers second base while Andy Pages patrols center field against right-hander Logan Webb on Thursday. Edman doesn't offer enough upside with the bat to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats right now.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Edman will get a night off after going 1-for-8 during his two games since returning from the injured list. The Dodgers don't want to push anything, so they'll give Edman some time to rest and get his mind right. In his absence, Miguel Rojas covers second base while Andy Pages, Teoscar Hernandez, and Michael Conforto play the outfield on Saturday. Fantasy managers should expect Edman back in the lineup on Sunday.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Edman is back in the mix after missing over a month of action due to a lingering ankle issue. He played five rehab games before being cleared to return to the Dodgers roster. This season, Edman is slashing .228/.281/.396 with 12 home runs and 44 RBI in 86 games. He hasn't been great at the plate, but is still worth rostering in at least deep leagues. In a corresponding move, outfielder Justin Dean has been optioned to Triple-A. The Dodgers lineup for Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies hasn't been announced, so fantasy managers will need to check back to see if Edman is in there.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) was scheduled to start a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City as the designated hitter while batting second. If Edman avoids any setbacks with OKC, he'll be a candidate to to come off the injured list to rejoin the big-league squad for the start of their next homestand early next week. The 30-year-old utility man is working his way back from a sprained right ankle, but the first-place Dodgers have no reason to rush him back in the final month of the regular season. Their main goal will be to have Edman 100 percent for the start of the playoffs in October. When Edman returns, there's no guarantee he'll be an everyday player for L.A., as he was hitting just .228 (69-for-303) with 12 home runs, 44 RBI, 43 runs and three steals in 86 games before his injury.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) was able to take live batting practice ahead of Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Edman was able to take live at-bats without any issues. This is the first time that Edman has been able to swing the bat since landing on the injured list in early August. The Dodgers are hopeful that Edman will be able to return to the lineup in early September. It's unclear if Edman will require a minor league rehab assignment or not. Regardless, Edman shouldn't be sidelined for too much longer. Alex Freeland and Miguel Rojas figure to split up the playing time at second base until Edman is ready.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) is running straight ahead without pain as he rehabs from a right-ankle sprain that landed him on the 10-day injured list on Aug. 4. The next step for Edman will be "doing some curves," according to manager Dave Roberts. The Dodgers are not going to rush him back to ensure that his ankle fully heals. The 30-year-old also dealt with an ankle injury earlier this year. Barring a setback, the expectation is that Edman will rejoin the big-league club for the final month of the regular season in September, which gives him little time to make noise in fantasy. The switch-hitting utility man is one home run shy of tying his previous career high, but he's been more useful in real life for the first-place Dodgers than in fantasy. Edman is slashing .228/.281/.396 with 12 long balls, 44 RBI, 43 runs and three steals in 86 games.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman (ankle) is participating in baseball activities and looks to be on pace to return at some point in September, reports Sonja Chen of MLB.com. He has been on the 10-day injured list with a right ankle sprain that has kept him out of game action since August 1. Baseball activities are a good start, but he'll still have to build up to the point where he can run with max effort and likely go on a rehab assignment before returning to the majors. The 30-year-old had been in a lengthy slump after starting the season out strong, and he's now batting only .228 with a .281 on-base percentage on the season. He'll be looking to make his return and finish out the year with a strong final month.
