Dodgers' Tommy Edman makes first comments since ankle surgery

"In the time since the Los Angeles Dodgers won their second consecutive World Series title, both Kiké Hernández and Tommy Edman underwent offseason surgery. Hernández had an extensor repair for a left elbow injury suffered during the season that nearly prevented him from returning. Although Hernández is expected to make a full recovery, he will have a delayed start to the 2026 season and it could impact free agency. Meanwhile, Edman had surgery to address his balky right ankle."

"During an appearance on ESPN LA radio's "The Sedano and Kap Morning Show," Edman shared the procedure went well and too should return to full health next year: "It's doing all right. I recently got the surgery, so hoping that fixes it for good. It's something I needed to do after dealing with it the past two seasons. They said everything went smooth. Hopefully it's a good recovery and I get back to 100%.""

"Prior to having right ankle surgery, Edman was able to enjoy some semblance of a normal offseason and receive recognition as a two-time World Series champion. He participated in pregame festivities at SoFi Stadium prior to watching the Los Angeles Chargers host the Pittsburgh Steelers, and recently attended LEGOLAND California with his wife and son. Tommy Edman's ankle history: Edman first sprained his right ankle while on rehab assignment with the St. Louis Cardinals early last year."

The Los Angeles Dodgers' offseason included surgeries for Kiké Hernández and Tommy Edman following the team’s World Series run. Hernández underwent an extensor repair on his left elbow after an in‑season injury and is expected to recover fully but will start the 2026 season late, which could affect his free agency. Edman elected surgery for a chronically problematic right ankle, reported the procedure went smoothly, and expects a full recovery. Edman enjoyed offseason appearances and family time before surgery, and his ankle history includes a prior sprain while on a rehab assignment with the St. Louis Cardinals.
