"Muncy has played through a bone bruise in his left knee and a mild right oblique strain this year. The season has also been problematic on the health front for Edman, who has battled right ankle trouble throughout. The Dodgers put Edman on the injured list on Aug. 4 due to a right ankle sprain, and he missed five and a half weeks. There was a deliberate approach taken so that Edman could make a full recovery in effort to get healthy for the playoffs."
"Edman's most recent start came in center field, where he made a diving catch on the run to end a perfect ninth inning for Clayton Kershaw in his relief appearance. Edman had a slight limp as he jogged off the field but remained in the game and later hit the decisive RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning. However, Alex Call replaced Edman as a pinch-runner at that point."
