Edman on IL retroactive to Wednesday, with right ankle inflammation
Tommy Edman will miss at least another week as the Dodgers infielder/outfielder was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with right ankle Inflammation. Hyeseong Kim was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Edman suffered the injury running the bases during Tuesday’s game against the Marlins at Dodger Stadium. He was held out of the lineup for the homestand finale on Wednesday, then after a travel day didn’t play on Friday either.
Dave Roberts told reporters in Atlanta before Friday’s game that the team was waiting to see how Edman’s ankle responded to going through pregame drills.
Dave Roberts said the Dodgers want to see how Tommy Edman comes through some pregame drills today before making a decision on tomorrow
He didn’t rule out an IL stint if Edman’s ankle doesn’t improve in the next couple days, but reiterated it will depend on how he’s feeling https://t.co/4zJp9WWaZw
