SAN DIEGO \u2013 Tommy Edman has hit the ground running \u2013 something that is easier to do now that his ankle is fully healthy.<\/p>\n

In his first nine games since returning from ankle surgery last fall, Edman was 11 for 29 (.379) with two doubles and a triple. A better left-handed hitter throughout his career, the switch-hitting Edman has even gone 8 for 21 (.381) from the right side.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like this is kind of one of the rare times where both swings feel good, both from the right and left,\u201d Edman said. \u201cIt\u2019s really tough to maintain both swings over the course of the season, so I\u2019m just happy that I feel that way right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of the reason Edman couldn\u2019t say that in recent years was the chronic problems with his ankle. Those were addressed following the 2025 season when he had surgery to remove bone spurs and repair a ligament in his right ankle.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it feels great,\u201d he said of the ankle\u2019s condition now. \u201cIt\u2019s been a couple years since I\u2019ve really felt this good, besides that month that I had beginning of last year. So now there\u2019s a lot of freedom in it, just knowing that I can just go out and play baseball and not worry about getting hurt again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being healthy has allowed Edman to settle into a consistent pre-game routine, something he believes has allowed him to get off to a good start in his mid-season debut. Part of that routine is \u201ca couple of new drills.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nothing crazy, you know? I\u2019m not taking like a million swings right now, and I feel like I\u2019ve just got a good routine down,\u201d he said. \u201cPart of it is kind of just breaking habits that I think I built last year. I was just getting into some bad movements with the lower body, probably just compensating for the ankle, and hips get out of whack, and that kind of stuff.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hopeful that I\u2019ll just be able to keep this up the rest of the year and just be consistent with it. And that\u2019s kind of what it\u2019s all about, is just having a steady swing that you can trust and a swing that you can always fall back on.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, Edman\u2019s playing time has mostly been in left field (he made his fifth start there on Sunday). With Teoscar Hernandez expected to be activated from the Injured List on Monday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Edman will \u201ctake on more games\u201d at second base with some starts at third base when Max Muncy needs a day off.<\/p>\n

SHO TIME<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Dodgers will stay on turn in their starting rotation for the three-game series in Sacramento beginning Monday. That means Shohei Ohtani\u2019s next pitching start will be Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Roberts said he hasn\u2019t decided yet whether Dalton Rushing will start at catcher that day but he \u201cmost likely\u201d will.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Rushing and Ohtani had some obvious friction during Ohtani\u2019s start in Minnesota with pitch selection and communication between the two. Roberts said there have been \u201cconversations\u201d since that game to smooth things over but acknowledged that Ohtani might choose to call his own pitches during his next start.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really feel that going forward we\u2019ll all be on the same page,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cIt\u2019s not always going to be synced up but I think that where it got to the other day, I really don\u2019t see that happening going forward. They all care. Everyone cares.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got to make sure that we\u2019re all on the same page and they have to do their jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n
