Tommy Edman of the St. Louis Cardinals was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a sprained right ankle after sustaining the injury on a single. Earlier ankle trouble had caused him to miss prior games. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts mentioned Edman's condition improved after returning to L.A., but emphasized being cautious for his return. Roberts indicated there is no specific timeline for his recovery, but he expects Edman to return, hopefully by early September, while ensuring the injury does not recur.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Edman's condition had improved after the team returned to L.A., but that they will slow-play his return until he is completely healthy.
Roberts stated, 'Don't know how long he's going to be, but I do think he'll be back at some point. I think the main thing is when he does get back, how we can make sure this doesn't happen again.'
'Tommy is hanging in there. It's going to take some time. We've just got to make sure once we get him back, we can't have a recurring situation of the twisting of the ankle,' Roberts added.
Roberts indicated that a return is probable in early September, emphasizing, 'he's doing OK. He's working his tail off to get back.'
