Overview
- Tommy Edman was reinstated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday and is slated to start in the Dodgers’ lineup on Wednesday.
- Edman finished an 11-game rehab stint with Triple-A Oklahoma City after offseason right-ankle surgery that cost him roughly the first 73–74 games of the season.
- The Dodgers cleared space on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters by designating infielder Santiago Espinal for assignment, with a likely outright, release, or trade to follow within the next week.
- Manager Dave Roberts plans to ease Edman in as a multi‑position, part‑time option, starting him about three to four games a week at second base, third base and left field to provide matchup flexibility and rest for regulars.
- The move comes as the club manages several rehab timelines—closer Edwin Díaz is playing catch and expected to throw a bullpen this week with a target return after the All‑Star break while Teoscar Hernández nears a rehab assignment and Tyler Glasnow shows limited progress—helping the Dodgers protect depth for the second half.
