"It's a position I'm comfortable with," Edman said Friday, after taking grounders at third at the start of his pregame work. "The hops [there] are weird, so you gotta play a little bit more one-handed ... But it's still the infield. You still gotta work on the footwork, just like you would at second and short. Catching the ball, getting behind your throws. It's a lot of the same concepts."

Dodgers utility man Tommy Edman is day-to-day with a tweaked ankle, having previously battled an injury that sidelined him for three weeks. Esteury Ruiz on taxi squad.

"The basket's kind of annoying. If the basket isn't there, it's not a homer," said Edman, giving chase from center field. "Just kind of a weird quirk of the ballpark. I thought I had a fairly good bead on it. Unfortunately it barely made it out."

He's awesome. I was really excited. I enjoyed getting the chance to play with him for a few weeks back in 2023. What stood out to me was he's an incredibly hard worker, plays the game the right way and he's going to do whatever it takes to help the team win.
