"Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman will undergo surgery on his right ankle next week. General manager Brandon Gomes provided the news to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. No details on the surgery were provided but Gomes says Edman is expected to be ready around the start of spring training. The ankle issue seemed to hamper Edman throughout the 2025 season. Inflammation in that right ankle put him on the injured list at the end of April."
"Though the missed time was fairly minimal, it's possible the injury impacted Edman's performance on the field. He hit .225/.274/.382 this year. That translated to an 81 wRC+, the lowest such mark of his career. He had a .252/.295/.523 line and 120 wRC+ through April, when he first landed on the IL. He slashed .213/.264/.315 for a 62 wRC+ the rest of the way. He only attempted four stolen bases, with three successful steals, far less than previous seasons."
"Back in 2022, with the Cardinals, he slashed .265/.324/.400 for a 106 wRC+, stole 32 bases and received strong defensive grades. FanGraphs credited him with 5.4 wins above replacement that year. In 2023, right wrist issues popped up, dragging down his offense. He underwent surgery after that season. He was rehabbing from that wrist surgery in June of 2024 when a right ankle sprain set him back."
Tommy Edman will undergo surgery on his right ankle next week and is expected to be ready around the start of spring training. Right ankle inflammation and a later sprain produced two injured-list stints during the 2025 season. Edman’s 2025 offensive numbers declined to a .225/.274/.382 line and an 81 wRC+, with markedly worse production after his April IL stint. Prior wrist surgery and ongoing ankle problems suggest he may not have been fully healthy since 2023. Edman signed a five-year, $74 million extension with the Dodgers for 2025–2029.
