Dodgers Injury Update: Tommy Edman Likely Unavailable For Opening Day
"After dealing with right ankle trouble over parts of the last two seasons, Tommy Edman underwent a debridement procedure in effort to find a solution for the nagging injury. Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said earlier this offseason that Edman would be limited at the start of Spring Training but wasn't concerned about his availability for the regular season."
"Edman will be delayed in starting the spring as he recovers from a right ankle operation. There is a growing likelihood he will not be ready for Opening Day. Edman is expected to receive most of his opportunities at second base this season but will also occasionally play center field. If he is sidelined to begin the 2026 season as expected, Andy Ibáńez and Miguel Rojas figure to split the reps at second base."
Tommy Edman underwent debridement for persistent right ankle trouble. He is still recovering and is expected to be delayed starting Spring Training, with a growing likelihood he will not be ready for Opening Day. Edman is slated to receive most playing time at second base and will also play center field occasionally. If Edman is sidelined to begin the 2026 season, Andy Ibáńez and Miguel Rojas are expected to split second-base reps, while Andy Pages will be primary center fielder until Edman returns. Last season Edman played 97 games, hit 13 home runs, and had 49 RBI.
