Los Angeles Dodgers player Tommy Edman will not return from his ankle injury as expected, with manager Dave Roberts noting that Edman's recovery is slower than hoped. The utility player felt soreness after running recently, leading to a decision to backdate his injury for effective recovery. Edman, who has had a solid season with a .252 average, eight home runs, and 24 RBIs, is part of a team facing multiple injuries, yet the Dodgers still hold the best record in baseball at 25-12.
Tommy ran [Friday] and just still didn't feel great, still some soreness in his ankle. Didn't feel he could play tonight or even tomorrow, potentially.
We just felt that it was an easier decision to backdate his injury, knowing that it's potentially 10 days to make sure he gets it right.
Edman is hitting .252 with eight home runs and 24 RBIs this season. His absence is certainly a setback for the team.
The injury woes have not ceased for the Dodgers, a team that is missing several key pieces of their lineup and pitching staff.
