Dodgers Re-activate Tommy Edman and Designate Santiago Espinal for Assignment

Edman’s return follows offseason ankle surgery and a Triple-A rehab, freeing a 40-man roster spot for roster flexibility.

Overview

  • The Dodgers activated Tommy Edman from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday, ending a 73-game absence that began after right-ankle surgery in November.
  • Edman completed a three-week rehab with Triple-A Oklahoma City, playing 14 games and hitting .275/.351/.392 with a 94 wRC+ in 57 plate appearances.
  • Los Angeles designated Santiago Espinal for assignment to open both an active roster spot and a spot on the 40-man roster.
  • Manager Dave Roberts said he expects Edman to return to the lineup and to be used as a multi-positional option, with a start planned against left-hander Shane McClanahan.
  • Espinal had earlier been DFA’d on May 25 and returned briefly due to teammate injuries, and his removal highlights the narrow margin for utility players on a deep, contending Dodgers roster.
