"Edman began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday night, along with Kyle Hurt, who could potentially become an option out of the bullpen for the Dodgers down the stretch if needed. Edman hit second and was the designated hitter in the Comets' lineup in his first game action since spraining his right ankle with the Dodgers on Aug. 3."
"Edman's positional versatility was one of the factors that drew the Dodgers' interest and prompted their involvement in what became a three-team trade with the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox last year. However, lingering right ankle trouble has limited Edman's time in center field this season. He largely played second base to begin the year before the Dodgers felt comfortable enough Edman's ankle could withstand the demands of roaming the outfield."
Michael Kopech and Hyeseong Kim returned to the Dodgers roster as the regular season entered its final month, while Tommy Edman, Max Muncy, Brock Stewart and Alex Vesia remained on injured lists. Edman began a Triple-A Oklahoma City rehab assignment and served as the designated hitter, batting second in his first game action since spraining his right ankle on Aug. 3. The Dodgers plan for Edman to play primarily center field during the rehab assignment to avoid moving him between positions. Lingering right-ankle trouble limited his center-field time this season, so the team prioritized a cautious rehab to preserve postseason availability and ensure he can handle center field upon his return.
