Dodgers News: Tommy Edman Hitting Without Right Ankle Pain
""I really don't feel anything when I'm hitting right now," Edman said. "In terms of it affecting me by being painful, it's not painful at all when I hit. So I don't know if I got into bad habits when I was trying to come back and it still did hurt, but right now I don't feel it at all.""
""Yeah, I'm excited. This is the best time of the year for baseball," he said. "All these games are really important and hopefully we get some momentum going these last few weeks of the season to carry it into the playoffs.""
Tommy Edman was activated from the 10-day injured list and returned to center field for the series finale against the Colorado Rockies. Edman had been sidelined since Aug. 4 with a sprained right ankle that lingered from last season. The Dodgers delayed his return to ensure he would be fully healthy in center field amid ongoing concerns about outfield offense and defense. Edman hit well during rehab, but running without pain remained the final hurdle. Manager Dave Roberts expects Edman to get most center-field reps, with a possible future return to second base to allow lineup adjustments involving Andy Pages and Michael Conforto.
