Tommy Edman

It’s Edman’s first start in four games. Kiké Hernández is getting bumped to make room. The lineup: SS Mookie Betts, 1B Freddie Freeman, OF Teoscar Hernández, C Will Smith, 3B Max Muncy, CF Andy Pages, RF Kyle Tucker and 2B Edman.

Edman had started in each of the Dodgers’ last five games, but he’ll get a breather in this one as we head into the final weekend of the regular season. Enrique Hernandez will draw a start at second base and will bat ninth against Giants’ right-hander Yunior Marte.

Edman brought the first run across for the Dodgers on a bases-loaded walk in the second inning before scoring on a single by Freddie Freeman. He later extended the Los Angeles lead with a solo homer off Wandy Peralta in the sixth inning. The 31-year-old has his eight homers with 43 runs scored, 40 RBI, and six steals while slashing .245/.330/.386 across 315 plate appearances.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the 31-year-old infielder. Miguel Rojas will start in his place at second base and will bat fifth for the Dodgers against Giants’ left-hander Cesar Perdomo.

Edman has been a fixture atop the Dodgers’ lineup since Shohei Ohtani was shelved, so he’ll get a well-deserved day off in this one. Miguel Rojas will cover second base in his absence and will hit eighth against Marlins’ right-hander Eury Perez.

Leading off in Shohei Ohtani’s place, Edman hit his sixth homer off Clayton Beeter, giving him 32 RBI in 65 games since he returned from ankle surgery. He’s batting a solid .273/.348/.414.

Edman got up to 108.5 mph and 106.9 mph on a couple of his liners tonight. He’s batting .279/.355/.411 with 35 runs scored and 29 RBI in his 63 games since returning from ankle surgery. He doesn’t get a ton of credit, but he’s an awfully valuable fantasy MI while healthy.

Edman drove in three runs for the fourth time in 56 games since returning from ankle surgery. He’s batting 271/.351/.420, and he’d seem to have a better case than Mookie Betts for hitting third for the Dodgers with Andy Pages absent.

Edman ended the game with an RBI single off Gregory Soto to give the Dodgers their 77th win of the 2026 campaign. The 31-year-old has appeared in just 52 games this year, but he’s been solid — if unspectacular — in those contests with a slash of .274/.342/.411 with four homers in 175 at-bats. He also gets to be the hero of Friday’s game, which seems pretty fun.

It appears to be a routine day off for Edman, who is hitting just .154 (6-for-39) with one homer and four RBI in 10 games since the start of August. It’ll be Miguel Rojas drawing a start at second base in his absence.

It could have been 3-for-4 with a homer, but Corbin Carroll brought back Edman’s 359-foot fly to right in the third. It would have been a homer in 21 ballparks, according to Statcast.

Edman gave the Dodgers an early advantage by taking Cubs starter Matthew Boyd deep in the opening frame. It was his third round-tripper of the season and lone hit in four at-bats. The versatile 31-year-old has been moved towards the middle of Los Angeles’ lineup with Mookie Betts continuing to struggle, which is a definite boost to his fantasy appeal.

Edman also had a barrel go for a 366-foot flyout in the eighth. He’s been exceptional since coming off the injured list last month, hitting .351/.429/.486 in 24 games. The Dodgers are currently batting him ninth against right-handers anyway, but he has a case for moving up.

Edman is back in left field and batting fifth after coming off the bench in each of their previous two games due to a relatively minor ankle issue. The 31-year-old got some extra rest after being hit by a pitch from Padres stopper Mason Miller near his surgically repaired right ankle over the weekend.

Edman receives some additional time off to recuperate after being hit by a pitch from Padres closer Mason Miller over the weekend. He was able to pinch-hit during Sunday’s series finale, which is a positive sign. The versatile 31-year-old has hit .347 (17-for-49) with one homer, nine RBI and one steal in 16 games since returning from the injured list for his season debut last month. It’ll be Miguel Rojas taking over at second base in his absence.

Edman was scratched from the starting lineup as a precaution after being hit on the ankle by a Mason Miller pitch in Saturday’s game. He’ll probably be back in the lineup somewhere Monday against the Rockies.

No reason has been given as to why Edman was removed from the lineup. Alex Freeland is now in the lineup as the second baseman, and Miguel Rojas will now handle the hot corner.

No one would have been surprised if Edman started slowly after returning from ankle surgery, but he’s hitting .378/.451/.556 through 13 games. The steal tonight was important, too; he’ll probably be a rather fringy mixed-league option if he doesn’t do some running. That’s something he was very good at in his younger days, but he stole just three bases in 97 games while dealing with the ankle issue last year.

Edman had himself quite a day in Sacramento, starting with a three-run homer off Jeffrey Springs in the third inning for his first home run of the season. He then added a base hit in the fifth and drove in a fourth run with a single in the seventh before collecting his fourth hit of the day in the ninth. The 31-year-old is 15-for-38 with eight RBI so far across 11 games since coming off the injured list.

Edman has started three of five games since being activated for his season debut earlier this week, while hitting .417 (5-for-12) with one extra-base hit during that span. He’s made a pair of starts at the hot corner while also appearing in left field. He figures to log some time at second base as well. Fantasy managers should anticipate the Dodgers handling his workload with caution coming off last year’s ankle surgery.
