What caused the Dodgers to put Tommy Edman on the IL after initial optimism
Briefly

Tommy Edman's rollercoaster week began with being benched before delivering a crucial walk-off hit against the Marlins. However, his ankle was strained while sliding into second, leading to a decision to put him on the 10-day injured list due to inflammation. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted Edman's ongoing soreness and decision-making process for his recovery. After initial workouts showed potential recovery, Edman's injury history suggests a cautionary approach as the team prioritizes his long-term health amid the season.
"Tommy ran yesterday and just still didn't feel great, still some soreness in his ankle. Didn't feel he could play tonight or even tomorrow..."
"We just felt that it was an easier decision to backdate, knowing that it's potentially 10 days to make sure he gets it right."
