Tommy Edman to Undergo Ankle Surgery, Dodgers Utility Player Eyes Spring Training Return

Los Angeles Dodgers utility player Tommy Edman is scheduled for right ankle surgery, general manager Brandon Gomes announced. Edman has been dealing with ankle issues since midway through the 2024 season, initially with St. Louis before being traded to the Dodgers in July. Despite the ongoing discomfort, he played through the season, was traded to the Dodgers in July, and ultimately earned NL Championship Series MVP honors. In the 2025 World Series victory over Toronto, Edman batted .143 but made crucial defensive plays at second base and center field. He signed a five-year, $74 million contract last offseason and is expected to be ready for spring training.
