"There isn't a timetable for Edman, but the Dodgers aren't expecting him back any time soon. Edman took on-field batting practice for the first time last week, but he's still at least a few weeks away from full baseball activity. Then he'll need a rehab assignment - likely a longer one, given how long it's been since he's faced competition."
"Fortunately, the Dodgers have multiple quality options with Hyeseong Kim, Alex Freelan, Miguel Rojas and Santiago Espinal. Espinal has proven to be a great value signing, while Kim put together a great showing in camp before leaving for the World Baseball Classic. The 27-year-old did sustain a left-hand injury in the WBC, but there is minimal concern over its severity."
Tommy Edman will begin the season on the injured list following offseason ankle surgery, requiring the Dodgers to find a temporary replacement. The team has several capable options including Hyeseong Kim, Alex Freeland, Miguel Rojas, and Santiago Espinal, all of whom performed well during spring training. Kim impressed in camp before departing for the World Baseball Classic, where he sustained a minor left-hand injury with minimal concern. Edman recently began on-field batting practice but remains weeks away from full baseball activity and will require an extended rehab assignment. The Dodgers are taking a cautious approach to his recovery, with no specific return timetable established.
