Edman went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-0 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Edman had missed all of the season prior to Monday while recovering from wrist surgery, and he was acquired from the Cardinals at the trade deadline. Edman slashed just .248/.307/.399 last year, adding 13 home runs, 27 stolen bases, 47 RBI and 69 runs scored over 137 contests. He's a utility man, but Edman offers more upside as a batter than defensive ace Kevin Kiermaier in center field, so look for that to be Edman's primary position to begin his Dodgers tenure.

Edman (wrist) was activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edman is now officially geared up for his season and team debut. The 29-year-old has been sidelined for the entirety of the 2024 campaign while working his way back from wrist surgery and an ankle sprain. Edman was traded to the Dodgers on July 29 and he has produced a .294 average with a home run, four RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base over 17 at-bats in six games with Triple-A Oklahoma while on a rehab assignment. Andy Pages was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move Monday, freeing up a spot for Edman in the outfield, where he's expected to see the majority of his playing time.

EDGE Analysis

Edman has been sidelined for the entire season while recovering from wrist surgery and an ankle sprain. He most recently began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Aug. 10 and has gone 5-for-17 with six walks and only two strikeouts. Edman looks likely to get the majority of his playing time in center field, though he is capable of playing a super-utility role.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM Friday that the hope is Edman (wrist/ankle) will be ready for activation from the 60-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Acquired from the Cardinals at the trade deadline, Edman has been out all season recovering from wrist surgery and more recently an ankle sprain, but his Dodgers and season debut is coming soon. Edman is 5-for-15 with one home run and a 1:3 K:BB in five rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He's expected to see the bulk of his action in center field for the Dodgers, but Edman also made a start at shortstop at OKC this week and offers the versatility to play multiple different spots, if needed.

President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said Sunday in an interview with Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that he expects Edman (wrist) to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list during the Dodgers' next homestand, which begins Aug. 19.

EDGE Analysis

On the shelf all season while recovering from right wrist surgery in addition to being slowed down by a sprained ankle during his rehab program, Edman appeared in eight games as a designated hitter for the Cardinals' Double-A affiliate before he was traded to the Dodgers on July 29. Edman had taken part in workouts and simulated games in front of the Dodgers' coaching staff in the week and a half after his acquisition before he resumed his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, when he started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a run scored while playing six innings. According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Edman would play primarily in center field during his rehab assignment, but the 29-year-old is also likely to get some exposure to the infield while with Oklahoma City. Edman may not unseat Andy Pages as the primary option in center field once activated, but he should find a regular spot in the lineup somewhere in the infield or outfield when the Dodgers face left-handed pitching.

EDGE Analysis

Edman's previous rehab appearance had come July 28, when he was still in the Cardinals organization. The utility man was traded to the Dodgers on July 29, and the team waited until Edman was ready to play the field before having him return to game action, as he had previously been limited to designated-hitter duties over his eight rehab games with the Cardinals.

Edman (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City during the weekend, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edman is slated to play in a simulated game Thursday to test his wrist in the field, and he'll head back out on a rehab assignment if all goes well. The 29-year-old infielder is expected to remain in the minors for at least a week in what will be his third separate rehab stint of the year.

Manager Dave Roberts said that Edman (wrist) will play in a simulated game Thursday at Dodger Stadium before resuming his minor-league rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Before the Dodgers acquired him Monday, Edman had two separate rehab stints with the Cardinals while working his way back from offseason right wrist surgery. He played in four games from July 9 through 14 at Double-A Springfield before being pulled off the assignment due to a sprained ankle, but he was cleared to resume game action with Springfield on July 24. He had served exclusively as a designated hitter for Springfield in his four games with the club before being traded to the Dodgers, but Roberts said that Edman will begin playing the field during his minor-league assignment if he checks out fine following Thursday's simulated game. Before the Dodgers activate Edman from the 60-day injured list, he'll likely need several games in the minors to regain his timing at the plate and get his feet wet at multiple positions. He's projected to serve as a super-utility player when the Dodgers are at full strength, though Edman could find a regular home at third base initially while Max Muncy's (oblique) return from the IL looks to be further away.

The Dodgers acquired Edman (wrist) and right-handers Michael Kopech and Oliver Gonzalez on Monday as part of a three-team deal involving the Cardinals and White Sox, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. The Cardinals acquired right-hander Erick Fedde, outfielder Tommy Pham and a player to be named or cash considerations, while the White Sox received outfielder/infielder Miguel Vargas, infielders Jeral Perez and Alexander Albertus (undisclosed) and a player to be named later or cash considerations in the deal.

EDGE Analysis

Edman has resided on the Cardinals' injured list all season while he's experienced a slower-than-anticipated rehab from October surgery on his right wrist in addition to battling a sprained ankle, but he had been in the midst of a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield and looked to be on the cusp of making his 2024 MLB debut prior to Monday's trade. Since Edman has been used exclusively as a designated hitter up to this point during his rehab assignment, he'll likely need to make at least a few starts in the field in the minors before he's formally activated from the 60-day IL for his Dodgers debut. Whenever he gets the green light to join the big club, Edman should take on a near-everyday role while providing the banged-up Dodgers with some much-needed versatility, as he's capable of playing three infield spots as well as the outfield. Given his contact skills and speed, Edman could also be an option atop the batting order while Mookie Betts (hand) is on the shelf, though he's more likely to begin his Dodgers career in the bottom half of the lineup.

Edman (wrist) is expected to resume his rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield on Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edman played four rehab games with Springfield from July 9 through 14 but has missed the last week of action due to lingering ankle soreness. He'll go through a workout Tuesday, and assuming all goes well, he'll return to game action Wednesday as Springfield's designated hitter. Edman has yet to play the field and will need to show he can handle multiple positions with no concerns before he's ready for his season debut with the Cardinals.
