Edman will begin playing third base against right-handed pitchers next week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edman has been logging at time at second base and in center field this season, but the Dodgers are in need to a fill-in at the hot corner for at least the next six weeks while Max Muncy (knee) is out of action. Edman does have some experience at third, but his last time seeing action there during a regular-season contest was in 2022 while he was with St. Louis. Plunkett notes that Edman has been getting in reps at third base during practice and that Hyeseong Kim will move to second base on days when Los Angeles faces right-handed starters, while Miguel Rojas and Enrique Hernandez are expected to split work at the hot corner versus southpaws. From a fantasy perspective, Edman could gain eligibility at third base if he does end up being the Dodgers' primary option there against righties for as long as Muncy is out.

Edman isn't in the starting lineup against the Royals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

After starting each of Los Angeles' previous 12 contests, Edman will begin on the bench in Kansas City on Saturday. In his stead, rookie Hyeseong Kim is getting a start at second base while batting in the No. 8 slot.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Edman's 10th homer of the season came in the second inning, producing a 2-0 lead for the Dodgers. The 30-year-old was given two days off earlier in the week in addition to a team off day Thursday, so it's possible the Dodgers are trying to prevent an aggravation of an ankle injury that bothered him earlier in June. Edman still looks to be the starter at second base, though the team's complement of hitters is fully healthy and Hyeseong Kim has looked good in limited playing time. It's a competitive lineup, and Edman's .247/.283/.463 slash line may not be enough for him to be an everyday option. He's added 34 RBI, 30 runs scored, nine doubles, one triple and a stolen base over 53 games.

Edman isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Edman was clutch throughout the game, driving in a run in each of the second, fourth and eighth innings. Over his past 10 games, he's hit safely seven times with a homer, six RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base. While the 30-year-old has surprisingly swiped just three bags this season, he's hitting .244 with nine home runs, 32 RBI and 29 runs scored across 190 plate appearances. Most impressively, he's batting .343 with a 1.096 OPS with runners in scoring position.
