Tommy Edman dealing with continued ankle soreness

"“Tommy, I still don't know when he's eligible to come off, honestly, but it's just been kind of a slow process for Tommy,” Roberts said. “So there's been some kind of start and stops, and not resets, but he just hasn't been able to get over the hump of the soreness. So we've kind of tempered some of the workload and backed off a little bit at times. He's in a good spot right now, but certainly, I think at the outset, we thought he'd be here before Kiké, but it looks the other way.”"

"“I don't know. That's a good question,” Roberts said. “I don't know if it's the running, if it's the hitting, right versus left. I know that he's taken some grounders here in the past few weeks. I don't know what gets it upset. The trainers I'm sure do, but I don't know.”"

"Edman isn't eligible to be activated until May 24, but manager Dave Roberts recently suggested the 31-year-old's timetable was likely already pushed back after experiencing soreness when he increased the intensity of his running. Roberts provided an update on Saturday and said Edman has not been able to continue his program at full speed due to the lingering right ankle soreness, which could delay his return to the Dodgers."

"The move, which didn't impact Edman's projected timeline to return in late May or early June, allowed the Dodgers to add Charlie Barnes to their 40-man roster, who was claimed off waivers from the Chicago Cubs."

Tommy Edman was transferred to the 60-day injured list while recovering from offseason right ankle surgery. The move did not change his projected return window of late May or early June, but his eligibility to be activated is May 24. Manager Dave Roberts said Edman’s recovery has involved slow progress, with start-and-stop adjustments because ankle soreness has prevented full-speed work. Roberts noted Edman has not been able to get over the soreness hump, leading to tempered workload at times. Roberts also said he could not identify what specifically keeps the ankle from improving, including whether running or hitting is involved. The Dodgers added Charlie Barnes to the 40-man roster by claiming him off waivers from the Chicago Cubs.
