Tommy Edman started a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, beginning the final steps before returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has missed the entire season after right ankle surgery in the offseason, with soreness lingering after baseball activities and slowing his recovery. His rehab assignment is expected to last the maximum 20 days allowed for position players, which should place his return in mid-June. The Dodgers will likely make a roster decision between Hyeseong Kim and Alex Freeland when Edman returns, with Freeland holding an advantage based on prior plans to call him up. Edman was placed on the 60-day injured list on May 9, but the timeline is not expected to change due to caution from his ankle history. He previously missed time in 2024 and 2025 due to ankle issues, leading to offseason surgery.
"He also had two other instances in which his ankle bothered him, but he avoided the IL in both cases. That led the 31-year-old to undergo surgery in the offseason, hoping to get past these issues fully. Edman started at second base while batting second in his first game for the Comets. He ended up going 1-for-3 with a single before being replaced by Austin Gauthier after five innings."
