• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Belts homer in Tokyo

  Rotowire Mar 20, 2025

  Edman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Wednesday in a 6-3 victory versus the Cubs. Edman started at second base for the second straight game and went 1-for-5 in both contests. His lone hit Wednesday left the yard, as Edman drilled a solo shot to left field in the third inning. Edman should continue to be part of the lineup most days, though he could work more in center field at some point in the campaign when the Dodgers elect to bring Hyeseong Kim up from the minors.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Batting second against Cubs

  Rotowire Mar 18, 2025

  Edman will start at second base and bat second Tuesday against the Cubs in the first game of the 2025 Tokyo Series. In the absence of Mookie Betts (illness), the switch-hitting Edman will move up to the two hole to face southpaw Shota Imanaga in the regular-season opener, breaking up lefties Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman in the Los Angeles lineup. Edman had an impressive spring with three homers and a .909 OPS in 12 Cactus League games, and he appears slated for a regular role for the Dodgers between second base and center field.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Goes deep for third time in spring

  Rotowire Mar 12, 2025

  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 Dodgers' lineup throughout the campaign.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Swats second spring homer

  Rotowire Mar 7, 2025

  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

  Rotowire Feb 25, 2025

  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 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.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Pegged for center field duty

  Rotowire Dec 9, 2024

  Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said Monday that the team plans for Edman to be its center fielder next season, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. Edman offers the versatility to move around to multiple positions, if needed, and that might be required during the season. However, at this early stage of the offseason, the plan is for the switch hitter to see most of his action in center field. Edman -- who signed a five-year, $74 million contract extension in late November -- slashed .237/.294/.417 in 37 regular-season games and .328/.354/.508 in 16 postseason contests for the Dodgers.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Signs five-year extension

  Rotowire Nov 29, 2024

  Edman signed a five-year, $74 million contract extension with the Dodgers on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Edman started the 2024 regular season on the Cardinals' injured list due to lingering pain in his surgically repaired right wrist. He began his rehab assignment in early July, but before he could be activated from the IL, Edman was sent to the Dodgers at the trade deadline. He made his 2024 regular-season debut with the Dodgers in mid-August, and his versatility to play both in the infield and center field played a key role in the Dodgers' World Series run, during which he was named MVP of the NLCS against the Mets. He finished the postseason with a slash line of .328/.354/.508 with five stolen bases, two home runs and 13 RBI across 67 plate appearances.

For the year, he's slashing .300/.333/.522 with five homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs, five steals and a 5:18 BB:K in 96 plate appearances.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Strong off bench

  Rotowire Sep 1, 2024

  Edman went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Diamondbacks. Edman didn't start the contest, but he was impactful after entering the game as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. He delivered the winning hit, a two-run single in the ninth. This was his third multi-hit effort over 11 games this season, and he's now hitting .275 with three RBI, three steals and five runs scored, though he's still searching for his first home run in Dodger blue.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Taking seat Saturday

  Rotowire Aug 31, 2024

  Edman isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

Kevin Kiermaier will fill in for him in center field while Miguel Rojas starts at shortstop.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Swipes bag in team debut

  Rotowire Aug 20, 2024

  Edman went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-0 win over the Mariners. Edman had missed all of the season prior to Monday while recovering from wrist surgery, and he was acquired from the Cardinals at the trade deadline. Edman slashed just .248/.307/.399 last year, adding 13 home runs, 27 stolen bases, 47 RBI and 69 runs scored over 137 contests. He's a utility man, but Edman offers more upside as a batter than defensive ace Kevin Kiermaier in center field, so look for that to be Edman's primary position to begin his Dodgers tenure.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Activated from 60-day IL

  Rotowire Aug 19, 2024

  Edman (wrist) was activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. Edman is now officially geared up for his season and team debut. The 29-year-old has been sidelined for the entirety of the 2024 campaign while working his way back from wrist surgery and an ankle sprain. Edman was traded to the Dodgers on July 29 and he has produced a .294 average with a home run, four RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base over 17 at-bats in six games with Triple-A Oklahoma while on a rehab assignment. Andy Pages was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move Monday, freeing up a spot for Edman in the outfield, where he's expected to see the majority of his playing time.

  Rotowire Aug 18, 2024

  Edman (wrist) will be activated from the injured list Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. Edman has been sidelined for the entire season while recovering from wrist surgery and an ankle sprain. He most recently began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Aug. 10 and has gone 5-for-17 with six walks and only two strikeouts. Edman looks likely to get the majority of his playing time in center field, though he is capable of playing a super-utility role.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Aiming for season debut Monday

  Rotowire Aug 16, 2024

  Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM Friday that the hope is Edman (wrist/ankle) will be ready for activation from the 60-day injured list Monday. Acquired from the Cardinals at the trade deadline, Edman has been out all season recovering from wrist surgery and more recently an ankle sprain, but his Dodgers debut is on the horizon. Edman is 5-for-15 with one home run and a 1:3 K:BB in five rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He's expected to see the bulk of his action in center field for the Dodgers, but Edman also made a start at shortstop at OKC this week and offers the versatility to play multiple spots if needed.

• Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Eyeing debut for next homestand

  Rotowire Aug 11, 2024

  President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said Sunday in an interview with Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that he expects Edman (wrist) to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list during the Dodgers' next homestand, which begins Aug. 19. On the shelf all season while recovering from right wrist surgery in addition to being slowed down by a sprained ankle during his rehab program, Edman appeared in eight games as a designated hitter for the Cardinals' Double-A affiliate before he was traded to the Dodgers on July 29. Edman had taken part in workouts and simulated games in front of the Dodgers' coaching staff in the week and a half after his acquisition before he resumed his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, when he started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a run scored while playing six innings. According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Edman would play primarily in center field during his rehab assignment, but the 29-year-old is also likely to get some exposure to the infield while with Oklahoma City. Edman may not unseat Andy Pages as the primary option in center field once activated, but he should find a regular spot in the lineup somewhere in the infield or outfield when the Dodgers face left-handed pitching.

  Edman (wrist) went 1-for-3 and scored a run while playing six innings in center field in a rehab game for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday. Edman's previous rehab appearance had come July 28, when he was still in the Cardinals organization. The utility man was traded to the Dodgers on July 29, and the team waited until Edman was ready to play the field before having him return to game action, as he had previously been limited to designated-hitter duties over his eight rehab games with the Cardinals.
