"After dealing with right ankle trouble over the last two seasons, Tommy Edman is scheduled to undergo surgery next week in effort to find a solution for the nagging injury. Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes shared news of Edman's impending surgery during the general managers meetings in Las Vegas. It was an outcome Edman himself left open the possibility for when asked about his ankle during the World Series."
"Gomes didn't provide any details on the nature of the surgery, and he said only that "the goal" is to have him ready for spring training. "We're gonna be smart," Gomes said. "Obviously, he hasn't had it yet. So we'll look into that as we get into the rehab process. And like we do with everything, let's keep the big picture in mind, or the goal of playing through October.""
Tommy Edman will undergo surgery next week to address right ankle trouble that has affected him over the last two seasons. Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes announced the plan at the general managers meetings in Las Vegas and said the goal is for Edman to be available for spring training. Gomes did not specify the procedure and emphasized a cautious rehab approach focused on long-term availability for October. Edman appeared in 97 games this season, primarily at second base, tied a career high with 13 home runs, and recorded 49 RBI. He signed a five-year, $74 million extension last offseason. Edman initially sprained the ankle on a rehab assignment with the Cardinals last year and again landed on the injured list this season for right ankle inflammation; his return was slightly delayed.
