Edman is slotted as starting at second base and batting ninth in Thursday's updated lineup versus the Padres, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
The initial lineup card for the Dodgers had Alex Freeland starting at second and batting ninth. It appears the lineup with Edman starting was put out as a correction and not a late scratch for Freeland.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Homers in four-hit game
Rotowire
Edman went 4-for-5 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Sitting Monday
Rotowire
Edman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
After starting in left field in each of the Dodgers' three games over the weekend, Edman will shift to the bench Monday with Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) occupying the position in his return from the 10-day injured list. Though the presence of Hernandez will likely limit Edman's opportunities in the outfield moving forward, the 31-year-old utility player could displace Alex Freeland as the Dodgers' primary option at second base. Neither Edman nor Freeland will cover the keystone Monday, however, as Miguel Rojas will draw the start.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Resting up Wednesday
Rotowire
Edman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Since being activated from the 60-day injured list June 16, Edman has gotten off to a nice start at the plate, going 8-for-22 with a 2:4 BB:K through his first six games. The Dodgers are being mindful of not overextending Edman following a lengthy absence, so he'll continued to have his workload managed before he moves into more of a full-time role. After Edman started the previous two nights, he'll get a chance to rest Wednesday while Alex Freeland takes his spot in the lineup at second base.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Taking seat Sunday
Rotowire
Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Edman will hit the bench after he started each of the past three games -- two at third base, one in left field -- while going a collective 5-for-12 with a double and a walk. His clearest path to regular playing time could eventually come at second base, where Alex Freeland (.649 OPS over 174 plate appearances this season) has been serving as the Dodgers' primary option since being called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on May 27.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Three hits Friday
Rotowire
Edman went 3-for-5 with a double in Friday's 6-5 win over the Orioles.
This was Edman's second game in the lineup since he recovered from ankle surgery he underwent in November. The utility man was held hitless Wednesday in his season debut. He got the start in left field and played the full game Friday, which is a positive sign. The Dodgers will likely take it slow in building up his workload, especially since the team has few weak spots in the lineup. Left field could be his best path to playing time, at least until Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) returns, as the combination of Ryan Ward and Alex Call isn't particularly exciting. When the Dodgers are healthy, Edman is likely to overtake Alex Freeland for the starting job at second base.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Hitless in return
Rotowire
Edman went 0-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 5-4 win against Tampa Bay.
Edman made his season debut following a long absence while recovering from last November's ankle surgery. He was unable to get a hit in first game back, though the super-utility man did draw a fourth-inning walk. Edman batted leadoff and played third base Wednesday, but neither of those situations are likely to stick. Shohei Ohtani got the day off as a hitter and is likely to return to the top of the batting order for Los Angeles' next game, and Max Muncy -- who pinch hit for Edman in the seventh frame Wednesday -- is the Dodgers' primary third baseman. Edman should still see ample playing time, with much of it coming at second base and in the outfield.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Reinstated from IL
Rotowire
The Dodgers activated Edman (ankle) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Edman is officially ready to go for the Dodgers on Tuesday after not seeing the field since Nov. 1, which was Game 7 of the 2025 World Series. The 31-year-old had surgery on his ankle not long after with hopes of being ready for spring training, but his absence extended far longer. The Dodgers designated Santiago Espinal for assignment in a corresponding move Tuesday. While Edman is back on the active roster, he is not in the lineup Tuesday. Alex Freeland has the start at second and is batting eighth, but he will likely lose playing time as Edman gets eased back in.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Set to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Edman is expected to start at third base Wednesday against the Rays, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Edman was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday after missing the entirety of the season to this point while recovering from offseason surgery on his right ankle. Although he isn't in the starting lineup Tuesday, the 31-year-old stated that he will make his 2026 starting lineup debut at the hot corner in Wednesday's series finale. With Shohei Ohtani expected to the draw the start on the mound in the series finale, it's possible that Ohtani will be absent from the lineup, pushing Max Muncy to designated hitter while Edman takes over at third base.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Will be eased into full-time role
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Edman (ankle) will start 3-to-4 days per week initially after being activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Edman is finally ready for his season debut following a long rehab from offseason right ankle surgery. While most of Edman's playing time is likely to come at second base, he will see reps at third base and in left field, as well. The 31-year-old super utility player slashed .275/.351/.392 with one home run, one stolen base and a 6:16 BB:K over 14 rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: On track for Tuesday return
Rotowire
Edman (ankle) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Edman is expected to be penciled into the starting lineup upon his return Tuesday, which likely means Alex Freeland will get bumped to the bench. Katie Woo of The Athletic reports that Edman should see opportunities at second base, third base and in left field and should play in 3-to-4 games a week as he continues to get acclimated to live action.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Could return Tuesday
Rotowire
Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Edman (ankle) could return from the injured list Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Edman has been on the shelf all season after undergoing surgery on his right ankle in November, though he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City on May 26. Since then, the 31-year-old has slashed .225/.295/.375 with a homer, three RBI and six runs across 44 plate appearances. Once activated, he will presumably take over for Alex Freeland as the Dodgers' primary second baseman.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Faring well in rehab stint
Rotowire
Through three rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Edman (ankle) has gone 4-for-9 with two runs and a 1:3 BB:K.
Edman got a day off Saturday, but before that he played three rehab games in four days. The veteran utility man has started twice at second base and once at DH. While all of Edman's hits so far have been singles, he seems to be making good progress toward a return. His rehab stint is expected to last at least three weeks, so Edman presumably won't be ready to return to the big-league club until mid-June at the earliest.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Starting rehab assignment Tuesday
Rotowire
Edman (ankle) will start his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Edman has been slowly progressing in his recovery from right ankle surgery that he underwent in the offseason. The 31-year-old is ready to take the next step by embarking on a rehab assignment and will spend at least the next three weeks with Oklahoma City, where he's expected to see the majority of his opportunities at second base, according to David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports. If all goes to plan, Edman could be back with the Dodgers by mid-June, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
Edman (ankle) is expected to begin a rehab assignment within the next few weeks, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Edman's recovery from right ankle surgery has come along slowly, as he's dealt with lingering soreness when he attempts to ramp things up. However, he seems to have turned a corner recently, with general manager Brandon Gomes noting Monday of Edman that "each week we're trending up and able to do more and get closer to his game speeds." The hope is Edman will be ready to go at some point in June, though there's still not a clear timetable for his activation.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Moves to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Dodgers transferred Edman (ankle) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday.
Edman's rehab was paused Monday after he felt renewed soreness in his surgically repaired right ankle. He remains without an official return timeline, but his move to the 60-day IL will ensure that he remains out until at least May 24. The transaction also frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Charlie Barnes, who was claimed off waivers from the Cubs on Saturday.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Rehab paused due to soreness
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Edman has been backed off his rehab a bit after feeling residual soreness in his surgically repaired right ankle, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
The soreness isn't necessarily unexpected as Edman ramps up his rehab, but it will delay his return from the 10-day injured list. The Dodgers haven't revealed a timetable for Edman to make his season debut, but he now seems unlikely to be activated before the end of May.
