The Los Angeles Dodgers prepare for a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels during Rivalry Weekend, trying to stay on top in the NL West. The team had to face difficulties, as some important players were injured recently, but now some of them are getting better and might return soon.

Dodgers share an update about two key players

Two players the Dodgers are watching closely for injuries are Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernandez, who are both key to the team’s success. While reports suggest that Hernandez will continue the rehab, Edman might make a comeback very soon.
Well, there is some good news for the Dodgers. Tommy Edman is close to returning after missing games since April 29 because of an ankle injury. The team manager Dave Roberts stated that Edman is expected to be back on Sunday during the last game of their series against the Angels. Meanwhile, Teoscar Hernandez will need some more time and will go on a rehab assignment before he can return to the team.His return will bring questions to rookie second baseman Hyeseong Kim, however. Roberts also told the press that he isn't sure what's going to happen with Hyeseong Kim once Tommy Edman returns. He said:"You can argue that Hyeseong [Kim] should be playing six or seven days a week... I just can't foresee, right now, what moves are going to be made in the coming days. I'm not sure yet.”

How has Angels’ Mike Trout been dealing with his injuries?

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers will be playing against the Los Angeles Angels, who have had a tough start to the season with a 17-25 record. They are the only team in the AL Central with more losses than wins and have only won one series in May. They've only won two games in a row twice since April. They’ll face a big challenge starting Friday, playing a three-game series against the strong Los Angeles Dodgers, who have the best record in the National League.
Their player Mike Trout, who was once considered the best in baseball, has struggled with injuries in recent years. He played only 29 games last season and hasn’t stayed healthy for a full season since 2020. He is currently recovering from a knee injury but is slowly making progress. As per journalist Jeff Fletcher: "Mike Trout has begun hitting off a machine, He’s also throwing and doing agility on the field. He’s running on the Alter G at 75% of his weight."Also Read: “I Don’t Take It For Granted": Clayton Kershaw Opens Up On Retirement Talk Ahead Of His Emotional 18th Season Debut With DodgersMike Trout seems to be healing well, but there’s no clear date yet for when he will return to play.
