Tommy Edman Begins Rehab Assignment
Tommy Edman (ankle) was scheduled to start a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City as the designated hitter while batting second. If Edman avoids any setbacks with OKC, he'll be a candidate to to come off the injured list to rejoin the big-league squad for the start of their next homestand early next week. The 30-year-old utility man is working his way back from a sprained right ankle, but the first-place Dodgers have no reason to rush him back in the final month of the regular season. Their main goal will be to have Edman 100 percent for the start of the playoffs in October. When Edman returns, there's no guarantee he'll be an everyday player for L.A., as he was hitting just .228 (69-for-303) with 12 home runs, 44 RBI, 43 runs and three steals in 86 games before his injury.
