Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Goes deep for third time in spring
Tommy Edman went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Tuesday's Cactus League win over Cleveland.Edman kicked off the scoring in the contest with a two-run shot in the first inning and later plated another run with a bases-loaded walk. He started at second base, which is likely where he'll slot in at the beginning of the campaign while Hyeseong Kim works on his hitting in the minors. Edman is expected to eventually move out to center field, so he should be a consistent presence in the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup throughout the campaign.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Swats second spring homer
Tommy Edman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's Cactus League victory against Texas.Through 23 at-bats this spring, Edman has five hits, including two homers and a double. He started in center field Thursday, and he has also logged time at second base. Edman could begin the campaign as Los Angeles' starter at the keystone if the organization opts to have Hyeseong Kim spend some time in the minors as he adjusts to baseball in North America. If that's the case, Edman could quickly gain fantasy eligibility at second base in leagues with a 20-game threshold, boosting his value considerably.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Gets start at second base
Tommy Edman is starting at second base and batting second in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Mariners.Hyeseong Kim's bat might not be ready for primetime, so the Los Angeles Dodgers could open Kim at Triple-A and give Edman the second-base job instead, at least to open the year. Edman is only eligible in the outfield in formats that require 20 games played at a position the prior season, but he is a good bet to add second base or even shortstop eligibility in season.
