What happened: The Los Angeles Dodgers activated Tommy Edman from the 60-day injured list following his recovery from offseason ankle surgery. Edman, whom the club targeted in a 2024 trade for his versatility, completed a rehab assignment at Triple-A before joining the active roster.

Why it matters: The Los Angeles Dodgers regain a versatile defender capable of stabilizing the middle infield. Edman's return provides critical depth as the team navigates multiple key injuries to its star-heavy lineup.

By the numbers: LAD: 46-27 | TBR: 41-28. Rehab stats: .275 AVG, 1 HR in 20 games at Triple-A Oklahoma City.

What to watch: Edman is expected to make his 2026 season debut against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. Manager Dave Roberts plans to ease him back into his role as a utility regular.
