Dodgers Activate Tommy Edman Off Injured List

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated Tommy Edman from the injured list after he missed over five weeks due to a right ankle sprain. During his rehab with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Edman played five games, primarily as a designated hitter and center fielder, and went 4-for-14 with three walks. He is expected to reclaim his role as an everyday starter, likely spending most of his time in the outfield, which has been a weak spot for the Dodgers this season. The Dodgers have struggled offensively and defensively in the outfield, with key players like Michael Conforto and Teoscar Hernández underperforming since mid-season. In a corresponding roster move, outfielder Justin Dean was optioned to Triple-A. Overall, Edman's return is seen as a necessary boost to the Dodgers' outfield as they seek to improve their performance down the stretch.
