**Dodgers Activate Muncy, Place Edman Back on Injured List**

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a roster move, activating third baseman Max Muncy off the injured list and placing utility player Tommy Edman on the IL with a sprained right ankle. The moves were announced Monday before the Dodgers’ home series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Edman, 30, re-injured his right ankle while rounding first base in Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This marks the second time this season Edman has been sidelined with an ankle issue, having previously missed two weeks in May. Since returning, he has struggled offensively, batting .214 with a .273 on-base percentage and a .323 slugging percentage in 56 games. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has indicated a cautious approach to Edman’s recovery, with no specific timeline for his return, prioritizing a complete healing to avoid future complications. “We’ve got to make sure we do everything on the front end that we don’t have a setback,” Roberts stated.

The news comes as a welcome boost for the Dodgers with the return of Max Muncy, who many feared would be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Muncy suffered a knee injury on July 2 when Chicago White Sox outfielder Michael A. Taylor slid into his leg. Initial fears pointed to potential structural damage; however, an MRI revealed no significant injury. Muncy expressed immense relief at his return, noting, “I’m going to try to enjoy every second of it knowing how close it was to not being there for me.” He returned to his customary No. 5 spot in the batting order for Monday’s game.
