The Dodgers later announced Edman suffered a right ankle sprain while he was rounding first base.

Roberts provided the latest update on the utility man following the Dodgers’ 3-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

“It’s a recurrence of what he’s been dealing with,” Roberts said. “I think once he hit the bag…I just don’t see how it’s not an IL. We’re obviously gonna get Muncy back, so that’ll probably be the move.”

Roberts believes Edman will spend more than two weeks sidelined by the ankle ailment. The 30-year-old also spoke about the recurring injury, and revealed how frustrating the injury has been for him this season.

“It felt a little bit worse than what I felt in Boston last week, just stepped on the base weird,” Edman said. “I think it’s too early to tell, we’ll figure that out once we look at the images. It’s a bummer, I’m trying to play the game hard but it’s tough to do that when I feel like I don’t have the stability there that I need. I’ve been doing rehab stuff every single day, treatment stuff after the game. I don’t know what else I could do.”

While it’s unfortunate Edman is likely headed for the IL, it’s best the utility man fully recover in order to be ready for the postseason.
