Beginning Game 2 on bench
Edman isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Reds on Wednesday.
Analysis
After belting a solo homer during Los Angeles' 10-5 victory in Game 1, Edman will stay in the dugout to begin the second game of the series. His absence will allow Miguel Rojas to start at the keystone and bat eighth.

On bench Sunday
Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Seattle.
Analysis
Edman missed back-to-back games with an ankle injury before going 0-for-5 on Saturday. The 30-year-old will get a day off Sunday for Game 162, leaving second base duties to Hyeseong Kim.

Back in action Saturday
Edman (ankle) will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and bat leadoff against the Mariners on Saturday.
Analysis
Ankle soreness has kept Edman from playing in the Dodgers' last two games, but a few days of rest now have the 30-year-old ready to return to the starting nine. In 10 games since returning from the injured list, he's gone 9-for-38 (.237) with a homer, five RBI and six runs scored.

Nursing ankle injury
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Edman is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners due to ankle soreness, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis
Edman appeared to tweak his ankle on a diving catch attempt during Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, which prompted him to sit out Thursday's contest. Roberts relayed that Edman's ankle is "a little sore," and with the Dodgers clinching the NL West in Thursday's win over Arizona, Edman will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game for rest purposes. Edman will be joined by Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench in Friday's series opener while Miguel Rojas starts at the keystone and bats sixth.

Sitting again Friday
Edman is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.
Analysis
Edman will be out of the starting lineup for a second consecutive game, though that presumably has more to do with the Dodgers capturing the NL West following their 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. He'll join Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy on the bench while Miguel Rojas starts at second base and bats sixth.
