Edman first suffered an ankle sprain in April on his way to the injured list and didn’t return until mid-May. A few months later, in August, he ended up on the injured list again and returned to the team almost a month later in early September.

The 31-year-old continued to battle injuries through the remainder of the regular season and postseason, limiting him to playing exclusively at second base after spending most of his time in center field last season.
“Things are going well,” Edman told Dodgers Nation. “It’s just kind of recovering one day at a time, slowly but surely. I’m going to be in the boot for a few more weeks and then keep moving around Christmas and hopefully I’ll be 100 percent for next year.”

Despite his injury, Edman still contributed to the Dodgers’ postseason run, playing every game but one for LA. During his 16 games, Edman homered twice, scored five runs and drove in eight.
Edman had a down year in 2025, posting a career-low .656 OPS after a solid first season with the Dodgers in 2024. Despite his lower OPS, Edman matched his career high in home runs with 13, and recorded 49 RBIs – his most since 2022.
Edman’s positive update is great news for the Dodgers, as he will more than likely be their first-choice second baseman for the upcoming season. His injury is much less of a concern now that the Dodgers have re-signed veteran utility man Miguel Rojas, who has provided an above-average glove and a solid bat over the past two seasons.
