"Tommy Edman's taking batting practice on the field right now. First time he's done that this spring as he works his way back from offseason ankle surgery. Edman said everything is continuing to progress in his rehab assignment. If all goes well the next few days, could start to face velocity off a machine. Still a few weeks away from being fully ramped up."
"Edman has been dealing with ankle issues over the past couple of years, leading to the decision for him to finally get surgery and put them to rest. He spent two stints on the IL with the ankle issue during the regular season, coming back only in the infield due to his mobility limitations. His procedure involved a ligament repair and the removal of bone spurs."
