Edman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Brewers.
Edman ended a brutal slump at the plate -- he was 0-for-26 across his last seven games. The utility player also hadn't homered since June 15, going 23 contests without a long ball while hitting .154 with four doubles in that span. Edman is now slashing .224/.279/.401 with 11 homers, 40 RBI, 41 runs scored and three stolen bases over 298 plate appearances. He continues to fill a near-everyday role when healthy, and he's currently splitting time between third base (versus righties) and second base (versus lefties).

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Back in action Wednesday
Rotowire
Edman (toe) will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Edman has missed the last three games while battling a right pinkie toe injury but feels well enough to give it a go in Wednesday's series finale. The plan is for Edman to eventually settle in at third base while Max Muncy (knee) is sidelined, but he will play second base for the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Could return to lineup Wednesday
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Edman (toe) could be available off the bench Monday and Tuesday in Milwaukee before possibly returning to the lineup Wednesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Edman will miss a second straight start Monday as he deals with a right pinkie toe injury, but it sounds like he's feeling better and his absence will be brief. When Edman returns to the lineup, he's expected to serve as the Dodgers' everyday third baseman while Max Muncy (knee) is shelved. Miguel Rojas is handling third base Monday.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Managing toe injury
Rotowire
Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros due to a right pinkie toe injury, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
It's unclear when Edman sustained the injury, but he'll sit for Sunday's series finale after starting the previous six contests. The utility man made his past three starts at second base, but he's expected to shift to the hot corner against right-handed pitchers this week to fill in for Max Muncy (knee), assuming Edman can overcome the toe issue.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Making move to hot corner
Rotowire
Edman will begin playing third base against right-handed pitchers next week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Edman has been logging time at second base and in center field this season, but the Dodgers are in need to a fill-in at the hot corner for at least the next six weeks while Max Muncy (knee) is out of action. Edman does have some experience at third, but his last time seeing action there during a regular-season contest was in 2022 when he was with St. Louis. Plunkett notes that Edman has been getting in reps at third base during practice and that Hyeseong Kim will move to second base on days when Los Angeles faces right-handed starters, while Miguel Rojas and Enrique Hernandez are expected to split work at the hot corner versus southpaws. From a fantasy perspective, Edman could gain eligibility at third base if he ends up being the Dodgers' primary option there against righties for as long as Muncy is out.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Solo shot in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Edman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants.
Edman's 10th homer of the season came in the second inning, producing a 2-0 lead for the Dodgers. The 30-year-old was given two days off earlier in the week in addition to a team off day Thursday, so it's possible the Dodgers are trying to prevent an aggravation of an ankle injury that bothered him earlier in June. Edman still looks to be the starter at second base, though the team's complement of hitters is fully healthy and Hyeseong Kim has looked good in limited playing time. It's a competitive lineup, and Edman's .247/.283/.463 slash line may not be enough for him to be an everyday option. He's added 34 RBI, 30 runs scored, nine doubles, one triple and a stolen base over 53 games.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Drives in three in win
Rotowire
Edman went 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Cardinals.
Edman was clutch throughout the game, driving in a run in each of the second, fourth and eighth innings. Over his past 10 games, he's hit safely seven times with a homer, six RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base. While the 30-year-old has surprisingly swiped just three bags this season, he's hitting .244 with nine home runs, 32 RBI and 29 runs scored across 190 plate appearances. Most impressively, he's batting .343 with a 1.096 OPS with runners in scoring position.

Edman (ankle) will start at second base and bat sixth during Thursday's game against the Mets, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Rotowire
Edman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Yankees.
Edman found a groove against the Yankees' pitching during this weekend series, going 6-for-12 with a homer, three RBI and three doubles over three games.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Racks up four hits in rout
Rotowire
Edman went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs and two RBI in an 18-2 victory versus the Yankees on Saturday.
Edman and Hyeseong Kim combined to go 8-for-9 out of the bottom two spots in the Dodgers' order to contribute to an impressive performance by the team's offense. Edman had been in need of a big day at the plate, as he entered Saturday having batted just .143 (5-for-35) over 10 games since returning from the injured list May 18. Edman hasn't homered in any of his past 17 games after beginning the campaign with eight long balls through 24 contests, but he does have three extra-base hits -- all doubles -- through the first two games of the weekend series against the Yankees.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Scheduled to sit Tuesday
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Monday's 9-5 loss to the Diamondbacks that Edman will be held out of the lineup Tuesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
After coming off the injured list Sunday following a two-and-a-half-week absence due to a right ankle issue, Edman started in center field that day in the Dodgers' loss to the Angels, finishing 0-for-4. Roberts noted that he's not yet comfortable having Edman play center on consecutive days so soon after the injury, so the 30-year-old shifted to second base Monday and went 1-for-4 with an RBI while Hyeseong Kim got the nod in center. With Edman set to rest Tuesday, Kim will presumably head back to the infield, and Andy Pages will likely start in center after being left out of the lineup Monday.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Activated and in lineup
Rotowire
Edman (ankle) has been activated from the 10-day injured list and will bat sixth and play center field Sunday against the Angels, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Edman landed on the injured list April 30 after tweaking his right ankle but recovered slower than anticipated. He's finally healthy enough to rejoin the active roster and immediately joins the starting nine. Edman slashed .252/.295/.523 with eight home runs in 122 plate appearances before the injury. The Dodgers designated Chris Taylor for assignment in a corresponding move.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Close to being activated
Rotowire
Manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Edman (ankle) is close to returning from the 10-day injured list, DodgersBeat.com reports.
Roberts didn't offer up a specific return date, but it appears Edman could be activated this weekend versus the Angels or early next week against the Diamondbacks. The 30-year-old suffered an ankle injury in late April and is poised to rejoin the Dodgers without embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. Hyeseong Kim has taken advantage of Edman's absence with a 1.038 OPS in his first 12 big-league contests, but the veteran utility player shouldn't have an issue maintaining a regular spot in the lineup after posting a .252/.295/.523 slash line with eight homers, two steals, 24 RBI and 19 runs in his first 30 games this year.

Edman (ankle) has experienced discomfort when running in a straight line, but he is scheduled to participate in live at-bats next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Edman is working through a right ankle injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list April 30. He isn't recovering as quickly as once hoped, and it appears he'll remain on the IL beyond this weekend's road series against Arizona. Hyeseong Kim and Miguel Rojas should continue to see additional work at the keystone for as long as Edman is sidelined.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Expected to return after weekend
Rotowire
Manager Dave Roberts said Edman (ankle) is unlikely to come off the injured list during the series in Arizona over the weekend, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Edman is set to do some running Tuesday while the Dodgers play in Miami. His ankle has not responded as quickly as the team initially anticipated, which resulted in Hyeseong Kim getting called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City. While it Edman is eligible to return Saturday from the 10-day injured list, he is now more likely to return May 13 versus the Athletics, as the Dodgers have an off day May 12.
