Dodgers Activate Muncy, Place Edman on IL After Ankle Injury

UPDATE: The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated third baseman Max Muncy from the injured list as they brace for a challenging three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals. In a critical move, the team has also placed utility man Tommy Edman on the injured list due to a recurrence of a right ankle injury.

Edman sustained the injury while rounding first base during the fifth inning of a game against the Tampa Bay Rays on July 16, 2023. The 30-year-old player previously missed two weeks in May with a similar issue and has struggled since his return, posting a disappointing slash line of .214/.273/.323 over the last 56 games.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Edman’s situation, stating, “We don’t want to bring him back until he is fully healed this time.” While Roberts did not provide a specific timeline for Edman’s return, he emphasized the need for caution: “With where we’re at on the calendar, we’ve got to make sure we do everything on the front end to avoid a setback.”

Muncy’s return is especially poignant. Less than five weeks ago, he feared his season could be over after a headfirst slide by Michael A. Taylor of the Chicago White Sox left him with a left knee scare during a game on July 2. He recalled, “As I was laying there on the ground that night, I thought for sure, ‘This is it.’” Fortunately, an MRI revealed no structural damage, allowing Muncy to return to the field sooner than expected.

In a triumphant comeback, Muncy reclaimed his No. 5 batting spot for Monday’s opener against the Cardinals. His determination to return to the field has resonated with fans and teammates alike, as he remarked, “I’m going to try to enjoy every second of it knowing how close it was to not being there for me.”

As the Dodgers prepare for their upcoming games, fans are eager to see how Muncy’s return impacts the team’s performance, particularly with Edman sidelined. The urgency surrounding Edman’s recovery highlights the critical nature of player health as the season intensifies. Keep an eye on updates regarding Edman’s status as the Dodgers navigate this challenging period.
