""I think just looking at where his ankle is at, trying to play the long view that you don't want to have any regression or setbacks," Roberts said. "So, how can we methodical with it? Just for me, knowing that he's just taking swings is enough. We're not going to rush it. We want to put him in the best position, so I think it just kind of became [clearer] very recently.""
""That was always kind of a stretch, just due to the nature of the injury and the timing of the surgery and everything," Edman said. "I think, having been out of the boot for a little over a month now, I was just kind of waiting to see how it progressed, and everything has gone exactly on-schedule. We were kind of leaving Opening Day open, just in case it happened to feel way better than expected.""
Position players reported to spring training at Camelback Ranch for the Dodgers while Tommy Edman will not be available for Opening Day. Edman underwent offseason ankle surgery after appearing in 97 games in 2025 and will begin the season on the injured list to avoid setbacks. Recovery has progressed on schedule; Edman has been out of the boot for a little over a month and has begun limited baseball activity. Increasing activity produces more swelling, so rehabilitation will proceed cautiously with gradual increases in volume to protect long-term function and availability.
