Edman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old utility player accounted for all of the game's offense in the sixth inning when he drove a Matthew Boyd changeup over the left-field fence, a no-doubt homer that traveled 423 feet. Edman is improbably tied with Aaron Judge, Kyle Schwarber, Mike Trout and Tyler Soderstrom for the major-league lead with six long balls, and while he can't be expected to maintain that pace all season, he also appears to be a completely different hitter than he was earlier in his career with the Cardinals. Dating back to last season, Edman has gone yard 12 times in his first 52 regular-season games as a Dodger, and so far in 2025 he sports an 84th percentile barrel rate, 89th percentile average exit velocity and 91st percentile hard-hit rate.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday in a 3-2 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers trailed 3-0 heading into the ninth inning before Edman made things interesting with a two-run blast off Jordan Romano. The long ball continued a surprising early-season power surge for Edman, who is tied for second in MLB with five homers through nine games. While his current .428 ISO is unsustainable, it's worth noting that Edman's ISO increased every season from 2021 to 2024, and he posted a career-best .180 ISO during the regular season last year (albeit in a limited sample of 153 plate appearances).

Edman went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk against Atlanta in Wednesday's 6-5 win.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers fell behind 5-0 before Edman sparked the club with a two-run blast to center field in the second inning. The long ball was his fourth through eight games this season -- only one MLB player (Eugenio Suarez) has more homers to this point in the campaign. While Edman isn't known for his power, the 29-year-old may have tapped into something last season after the trade that sent him from St. Louis to Los Angeles. Through 45 regular-season games as a Dodger, Edman has gone yard 10 times.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run against Detroit in a 7-3 win Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Edman gave Los Angeles a 6-3 lead with his solo blast to center field in the seventh inning. The veteran utility man has gone deep three times through five games this season while starting four times at second base and once in center field. The early power is a bit surprising, as Edman never hit more than 13 long balls during any of his previous six major-league regular seasons.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against Detroit in Thursday's 5-4 victory.

EDGE Analysis

Edman kicked off the scoring in the Dodgers' home opener with a solo shot in the second inning. He played center field Thursday after working as Los Angeles' second baseman in each of the team's first two games of the season in Tokyo, while Miguel Rojas handled the keystone. Edman figures to see time at both positions throughout the campaign, though in fantasy leagues that require 20 games for a player to gain eligibility at a position, managers will need to wait a bit to be able to slot Edman in at second base.

Edman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Wednesday in a 6-3 victory versus the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Edman started at second base in place of Mookie Betts (illness) for the second straight game and went 1-for-5 for the second consecutive contest. His lone hit Wednesday left the yard, as Edman drilled a solo shot to left field in the third inning. Though Betts could be back for the Dodgers' home opener March 27 versus Detroit, Edman should continue to be part of the lineup most days, as he's expected to be the team's primary center fielder when Betts is back healthy.

Edman will start at second base and bat second Tuesday against the Cubs in the first game of the 2025 Tokyo Series.

EDGE Analysis

In the absence of Mookie Betts (illness), the switch-hitting Edman will move up to the two hole to face southpaw Shota Imanaga in the regular-season opener, breaking up lefties Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman in the Los Angeles lineup. Edman had an impressive spring with three homers and a .909 OPS in 12 Cactus League games, and he appears slated for a regular role for the Dodgers between second base and center field.

Edman went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Tuesday's Cactus League win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Edman kicked off the scoring in the contest with a two-run shot in the first inning and later plated another run with a bases-loaded walk. He started at second base, which is likely where he'll slot in at the beginning of the campaign while Hyeseong Kim works on his hitting in the minors. Edman is expected to eventually move out to center field, so he should be a consistent presence in the Dodgers' lineup throughout the campaign.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's Cactus League victory against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Through 23 at-bats this spring, Edman has five hits, including two homers and a double. He started in center field Thursday, and he has also logged time at second base. Edman could begin the campaign as Los Angeles' starter at the keystone if the organization opts to have Hyeseong Kim spend some time in the minors as he adjusts to baseball in North America. If that's the case, Edman could quickly gain fantasy eligibility at second base in leagues with a 20-game threshold, boosting his value considerably.

Edman is starting at second base and batting second in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Hyeseong Kim's bat might not be ready for primetime, so the Dodgers could open Kim at Triple-A and give Edman the second-base job instead, at least to open the year. Edman is only eligible in the outfield in formats that require 20 games played at a position the prior season, but he is a good bet to add second base or even shortstop eligibility in season.
