Dodgers Activate Edman, Place Yates on Injured List

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed reliever Kirby Yates on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain, making him eligible to return after June 2. In corresponding moves, the Dodgers designated veteran Chris Taylor for assignment to clear a roster spot for Tommy Edman, who was activated from the injured list after recovering from a right ankle injury and immediately returned to the starting lineup. Teoscar Hernandez remains sidelined with a Grade 1 adductor strain and will require a rehab assignment before a potential return next week. The team has relied on younger players like Hyeseong Kim, James Outman, and Dalton Rushing during these absences. Taylor's departure ends his tenure with the Dodgers, which began in 2016 and included an All-Star appearance in 2021. The Dodgers continue to lead the National League West as they await the return of their full roster.
