Overview

  • General manager Brandon Gomes said Edman will have right-ankle surgery next week and is expected to be ready around the start of spring training.
  • Edman’s 2025 season included IL stints for right-ankle inflammation in April and a sprain in August, followed by a slump to a .225/.274/.382 line and an 81 wRC+.
  • The versatile defender is signed through 2029 on a five-year, $74 million deal and is currently projected to fit most cleanly at second base in 2026.
  • Gomes identified the outfield and bullpen as areas to explore this winter but stopped short of labeling them needs, emphasizing a targeted approach.
  • With more than $60 million coming off the books, the Dodgers have flexibility to pursue options such as a corner outfielder or late-inning reliever.
