Tommy Edman Explores Potential Offseason Surgery for Dodgers
Tommy Edman has been a pivotal player for the Los Angeles Dodgers as they aim for a consecutive World Series title. Despite a lingering ankle injury, Edman has demonstrated resilience throughout the postseason.
Tommy Edman’s Postseason Performance
In 11 October games, Edman is hitting .262, averaging one hit per game, with two home runs and six RBIs. His performance has contributed significantly to the Dodgers’ success.
Injury Concerns
Edman’s ankle injury, which limited him to 97 regular-season games in 2025, remains a concern. He spent time on the injured list three times this year, prompting manager Dave Roberts to restrict him to second base to minimize injury risks.
Future Plans and Potential Surgery
Looking ahead, Edman has not ruled out the possibility of offseason surgery for his ankle. He commented, “I’m not sure what comes next. We’ll probably evaluate that after the season’s over.”
- Current Position: Second Baseman
- Upcoming Evaluation: After the World Series
- Annual Stats (2025): 97 games played
Focus on Winning
For now, Edman aims to play through the remainder of the World Series. He plans to maintain his role at second base, while Mookie Betts will remain at shortstop. The team needs to secure three more wins against the Blue Jays to clinch the championship.
If successful, the Dodgers would become the first team since the New York Yankees to win back-to-back championships, accomplishing this feat from 1998 to 2000.
