Dodgers' Tommy Edman Confirmed Out for Opening Day After Ankle Surgery

Dodgers infielder Tommy Edman is officially ruled out for Opening Day following offseason surgery on his right ankle in November. The injury, which involved repairing a ligament and removing bone spurs, has bothered him for years and limited him to 97 games in 2025. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed a "methodical" and "long view" approach to his recovery, indicating he will miss more than a minimum IL stint. Edman is currently taking swings and doing light jogging, feeling he's on schedule. Hyeseong Kim, Miguel Rojas, and Alex Freeland are expected to compete for playing time at second base in his absence.
