According to a team announcement on Saturday afternoon, the Los Angeles Dodgers have recalled infielder Hyeseong Kim from Triple-A Oklahoma City while placing utility man Tommy Edman on the 10-day injured list with right ankle inflammation. The IL placement for Edman is retroactive to April 30, meaning he could potentially return to action in a week if his recovery progresses well.

In recent news from Camelback Ranch, the Los Angeles Dodgers will likely not begin using a six-man starting pitching rotation until later in the spring. Thanks to a regular-season schedule that includes off-days every week throughout April, the team can temporarily ease back on their expanded rotation plans.

To say the Los Angeles Dodgers have put themselves in a position for another strong playoff run in 2025 would be an understatement. By adding top-shelf pitchers like Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki and most recently reliever Tanner Scott, the team is poised to be a legit postseason contender for the foreseeable future.
Heading into the winter, many fans had their fingers crossed that a starting rotation led by Yoshinobu Yamamoto would be good enough to win a fourth-straight NL West title. At the time, there were many question marks — whether Tyler Glasnow, Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May could finally stay healthy, if Clayton Kershaw had any gas in the tank, and whether Shohei Ohtani would be able to contribute to the pitching staff by Opening Day.

Treinen’s deal is for two years and $22 million with a $5 million signing bonus. The 6-foot-5, 36-year-old Treinen came on strong late in the 2024 season after missing the first part of the year with a lung contusion he sustained in spring training.

Although Tommy Edman’s extension from the Los Angeles Dodgers has seemingly taken a backseat to the Blake Snell signing, it still remains an important part of the team roster foundation in 2025 and beyond.
Edman’s solid defensive versatility in both the outfield and infield gives the Dodgers incredible flexibility in their defensive alignments and late-game substitutions. His switch-hitting ability and speed on the basepaths add another dynamic element to an already potent lineup.
