Tommy Edman (29, St. Louis Cardinals), who played for Korea in the World Baseball Classic (WBC), is undergoing last-minute rehabilitation treatment with the goal of returning in mid-July.
Utility player Edman underwent surgery on his right wrist in October. He was likely to return before the opening of this season, but he stopped training several times due to the aftereffects of his injury and swelling.
Another bad news broke for Edman, who was back on the ground. On the 25th of last month (Korea Standard Time), he sprained his ankle while playing ground ball defense. He joined his team's St. Louis team and was on the verge of returning by batting and defense training with his teammates, but bad news came again.
Currently, Edman is taking care of his physical condition again at his club's spring camp site in Jupiter, Florida. St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol said, "After Edman is relieved of ankle and wrist injuries, we will watch him undergo batting training at his home stadium (Bush Stadium) and see him lose points.
Edman made his Major League debut in the 2019 season and became a starting member from the 2021 season. In the 2021 season, he also won the Gold Glove in the National League's second baseman category. 먹튀검증
Edman was selected as the representative of Korea at the WBC held in March 2023. He played in his mother's home country, where he is a U.S. citizen but a Korean immigrant. In fact, there is also a Korean middle name named Hyun-soo. The WBC was rather generous with the relevant regulations.
Korea was eliminated from the preliminary round of the championship. Edman had a short relationship with Edman. However, he was supported by Korean baseball fans afterward. He signed a two-year, 16.5 million-dollar contract with the St. Louis Cardinals ahead of this season.
