Scouting Report: Evan Edwards
Chicago Cubs | 1B
Overall
Summary
Tommy Edman was transferred to the 60-day injured list on May 9, 2026, due to ongoing recovery from right ankle surgery performed during the offseason. Originally projected to return in late May, his rehabilitation has been slowed by residual soreness in the surgically repaired ankle. Manager Dave Roberts indicated Edman is on a "slow program" with soreness emerging when attempting to increase running intensity. The move to the 60-day IL ensures he remains out until at least May 24, though his actual return timeline remains unclear.
Strengths
- Multiple World Series champion with proven track record
- Rehabilitation work continuing despite setback
