Edman was replaced in the fifth inning after injuring his ankle in an away game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Stain Brenner Field in Tampa, Florida, on the 4th (Korea time).
Edman hit a 91-mile slider on Tampa Bay right-hander Joe Boyle's low fifth pitch after one out in the top of the fifth inning when the 0-0 balance continued, hitting a heavy hit off the second base, and sprained his right ankle in the process of going around first base. It's the same area that's been bothering for months already.
The trainer ran out and withdrew to the dugout as the pain was severe without having to check the condition, and Miguel Rojas entered as a pinch runner.
After the game, the Dodgers announced that "Edman sprained his right ankle while running around first base".

Edman is in much worse shape than last week's away game in Boston. The moment my foot touched the base, it was terrible. It's too early to say, but I'll decide (whether to rehabilitate) by looking at the image data. "It's very difficult if you feel like you don't have enough stability to play hard. I'm disappointed. I've been playing every day undergoing treatment because my ankle is not good. I don't know what I can do."
As Roberts said, even if Edman is out, Muncy can return and fill the infield. Muncy was placed on the IL after injuring his left knee in the top of the sixth inning against the Chicago White Sox at Dodger Stadium on the 3rd of last month. Muncy, who is playing a minor league rehabilitation game in Triple-A, is scheduled to return to the big leagues in time for the first of three consecutive home games against the St. Louis Cardinals on the 5th.
In this case, Alex Freeland, who was recently called up in line with Kim Hye-sung's IL registration, will take charge of the second base Edman saw, and Muncy, the original owner, will enter the third base Freeland saw.
Freeland played as the seventh third baseman against Tampa Bay and was silent with no hits in four at-bats, but has a batting average of 0.308 (4 hits in 13 at-bats) in four games since his big league debut. For Freeland, it is possible to extend the survival period of the big league.

Kim Hye-sung's return date will be after the 9th. Roberts said "I believe he'll be back soon", but given that the injured part is a critical shoulder for both offense and defense, it's unlikely he'll return on time for that date. The Dodgers are also demanding a perfect recovery from Kim Hye-sung because they believe there is no difficulty in forming the infield.
