Tommy Edman Shines in His Dodgers Debut
Tommy Edman has officially joined the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup after returning from the injured list where he spent over four months recovering from wrist surgery. Batting ninth, Edman plays center field, displaying remarkable readiness with a noteworthy rehab performance, hitting .294/.478/.471.
Max Muncy's Strong Return
Max Muncy, activated alongside Edman, returns to his familiar third base position, hitting seventh in the lineup after recovering from an oblique strain. The Dodgers had struggled without Muncy, showcasing his importance as he brings much-needed offensive firepower back to the team.
- Edman's rehab: .294 average, home run, six walks
- Muncy's stats before injury: .223 average, nine home runs
- Significant challenges faced by Dodgers at third base without Muncy
To accommodate their return, the Dodgers designated Nick Ahmed for assignment and optioned Andy Pages to Triple-A Oklahoma City, clearing space for both Edman and Muncy to contribute effectively as the Dodgers engage in crucial matchups going forward.
