Edman had dealt with the injury for most of the 2025 MLB season, and once the campaign was over, he addressed the matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Edman spent two separate stretches on the injured list with a sprained right ankle, the second coming in August. The Dodgers eased him back into action, hoping the extra time would help the ankle settle, but the issue lingered deep into the postseason. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It kept Edman limited to infield work for most of the run, and he didn\u2019t shift to center field until the World Series made it unavoidable. On December 6, <\/span>Edman spoke with Dodgers Nation <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> about his recovery process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cIt\u2019s going well,\u201d Edman said. \u201cJust kind of recovering day at a time, you know, slowly but surely. I think I got to be in the boot for a couple more weeks, and then get moving around Christmas time and hopefully be 100 percent for next year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dodgers Are Positive About Tommy Edman\u2019s Bounce-Back<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In November, Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes spoke with reporters at the General Managers Meetings in Las Vegas, a group that included MLB.com reporter AJ Cassavell. Moreover, Gomes believes that surgery would allow Edman to find the past form that saw him win the NLCS MVP in 2024. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThis was clearly bothering him for a while,\u201d Gomes said (h\/t <\/span>MLB.com <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">). \u201cHe\u2019s so tough and went out there and kept just posting for us, and obviously played great for us. So I think it\u2019ll be good to get it addressed, and then that way he can kind of have this behind him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With his lingering ankle injury, Edman had a batting average of .225 with 78 hits, 13 home runs, 49 RBIs, and 49 runs scored in 97 games in 2025, <\/span>per StatMuse <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tommy Edman Will Look to Return by Spring Training<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Dodgers expect Edman to be close to full speed by the start of spring training, but they won\u2019t lock in a firm timetable until the procedure <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">done<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> rehab <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">work<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> begins.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> That uncertainty raises <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">real<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> questions about second base and center field, the two spots he usually handles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Edman\u2019s value lies in his ability to move easily between roles. When the ankle issue limited his availability in center, the Dodgers had fewer ways to shape the lineup, and it showed at times. If he isn\u2019t ready for Opening Day, the team can easily fill second base. However, the bigger concern would be how his absence affects the outfield.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Los Angeles moved to retain another utility player this offseason. ESPN reported on December 3, citing sources, that the Dodgers welcome back Miguel Rojas for what is likely to be his final major league season.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rojas has agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million deal for 2026 and will also support the Dodgers\u2019 player development efforts, transitioning into a front office role in 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The veteran infielder first appeared with the Dodgers in 2014, then came back to the team through a trade with the Miami Marlins before the 2023 season, quickly becoming a prominent voice and leader on a roster full of stars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Eduardo Razo Eduardo Razo is a sports journalist covering the NFL for Heavy.com.
