The Los Angeles Dodgers activate utilityman Tommy Edman off the 60-day injured list on Tuesday, returning from right ankle surgery that sidelined him for the season’s first 73 games. The move brings back a multi-positional player whose recent postseason experience includes starting 32 of 33 games across his first two Los Angeles playoff campaigns. With Edman’s return, the Dodgers must adjust their roster. To create space, the team designates infielder Santiago Espinal for assignment, continuing a sequence of roster decisions tied to Edman’s availability.
In addition to managing the active roster, the Dodgers also keep two rookie prospects, reflecting the organization’s ongoing balancing of immediate major-league needs with developing younger players. The designations and roster shifts are part of the Dodgers’ standard operational process as players return from injury and the club finalizes its lineup options for the stretch of the season ahead.
