Dodgers News: Tommy Edman Hoping To Steal Bases & Fill Versatile Role With Ankle Surgery
"Hopefully I'll be in a spot where I can play both. That's kind of the goal, just to get back to a spot where I'm fully 100% and can do everything. Even stealing bases. I haven't stolen any bases the last two years because my ankle would flare up any time I tried to do that. So that's the goal, to get back to 100% of what I typically am as a baseball player."
"Edman was limited to 97 games this past season and batted a career-worst .225/.274/.382 with 13 doubles and 13 home runs. The Dodgers signed him to a five-year, $75 million contract extension last winter. The deal also includes a $13 million club option for 2030. At the time of signing, Edman still had one year of control left on the two-year arbitration extension he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals."
Tommy Edman underwent a procedure on his right ankle after a 2025 season hampered by a sprained ankle that required two injured-list stints and limited his performance. Edman missed stealing bases the past two years because the ankle would flare up when he attempted to steal. He played 97 games in 2025 and produced a career-worst .225/.274/.382 with 13 doubles and 13 home runs. The Dodgers signed Edman to a five-year, $75 million extension with a $13 million 2030 option following his standout 2024 NLCS performance. Dodgers management expressed optimism about his recovery.
