"While his ankle has improved, Edman does not see himself moving off second base for the remainder of the World Series. "Ankle's feeling really good," Edman said. "I haven't really talked that through with Doc. I think the plan is just second base for now. Maybe that will be a conversation. I'm not really sure. But for now, just second base.""
"When asked if he will need to undergo surgery on his right ankle during the offseason, Edman could not give a definitive answer. "I'm not sure. We'll probably evaluate that after the season's over," Edman explained. "For now, I think just playing the rest of the games of the World Series will be totally fine. "It's actually improved a good amount throughout postseason. It feels like it's in a really good spot now. But, yeah, that's something we'll talk about in the offseason.""
Tommy Edman has been a reliable contributor for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the playoffs while managing lingering effects of a right ankle sprain suffered earlier this season. He is hitting .262/.295/.429 with one double, two home runs and six RBI and has appeared in all but one of the Dodgers' playoff games. Edman has been limited to second base and does not expect to move to center field for the remainder of the World Series. His ankle has improved during the postseason, and offseason surgical options will be evaluated after the season. Edman appeared in 97 regular-season games and had two stints on the injured list, missing just over five weeks.
