"After dealing with right ankle trouble over the last two seasons, Tommy Edman underwent surgery last month in effort to find a solution for the nagging injury. Edman first sprained his right ankle while on rehab assignment with the St. Louis Cardinals last year. Then this past season, Edman landed on the injured list in early May due to right ankle inflammation."
"Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes offered further details of Edman's surgery and said it was a debridement procedure, via Jack Harris of the L.A. Times: Gomes said utilityman Tommy Edman's recent ankle surgery was a debridement procedure to address the injury that nagged him during the second half of last season. Edman's recovery will likely leave him limited at the start of spring training, but the team does not "expect it to affect a meaningful part of the season," Gomes added."
"Gomes previously said that the Dodgers expect Edman to have a full recovery by early Spring Training but won't rush the process toward a return. Edman was limited to just 97 games this year and primarily played second base as the Dodgers looked to manage the health of his troublesome right ankle. Despite missing stretches of time, Edman tied a career high with 13 home runs and finished with 49 RBI, which were the third-most he's had in a season."
Tommy Edman underwent debridement surgery last month to address recurrent right ankle problems that affected him over the past two seasons. The ankle issues began with a sprain during a rehab assignment and continued with inflammation and a subsequent sprain that led to multiple injured-list stints this season. The procedure targets the nagging injury and is expected to leave him limited at the start of spring training, but the team does not expect it to affect a meaningful portion of the season. The Dodgers expect a full recovery by early spring training and will avoid rushing his return. Edman played 97 games, primarily at second base, and matched a career high with 13 home runs while posting 49 RBI. He participated in pregame festivities at SoFi Stadium during the offseason.
