Dodgers' Tommy Edman Welcomes Daughter Ava, Eyes Spring Training Return from Ankle Surgery

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman and his wife, Kristen, announced the birth of their daughter, Ava, on Tuesday. Edman is currently recovering from right ankle surgery in mid-November, which addressed a nagging injury he played through during the Dodgers' back-to-back World Series run. While he expects to be ready for Spring Training, his Opening Day status remains uncertain as the Dodgers typically take a conservative approach to player returns. The team has added depth like Andy Ibáñez in preparation.
