Overview

  • GM Brandon Gomes announced the plan at the GM Meetings in Las Vegas and said the goal is readiness around the start of spring training.
  • The Dodgers have not disclosed procedure details and will set a firmer timeline after the operation and early rehab.
  • Recurring ankle trouble led to injured-list stints in the spring and August and curtailed his center-field usage during the postseason.
  • Edman played 97 games in 2025 and hit .225/.274/.382 with 13 home runs and an 81 wRC+ in the first season of his five-year, $74 million extension.
  • His status factors into winter planning, with Los Angeles evaluating internal outfield options like Ryan Ward and considering external additions such as Kyle Tucker.
