The Los Angeles Dodgers, already struggling to overcome injuries to their pitching staff, were missing second baseman Tommy Edman in their starting lineup against the Atlanta Braves.

Edman injured his right ankle on a slide during Tuesday’s game against the Marlins, but he is optimistic that he’ll be back in the lineup as soon as Saturday.

The past several days have been anything but ordinary for Tommy Edman, beginning with not being in the lineup for Monday’s game against the Miami Marlins.
