The Dodgers DFA\u2019d Siani Jan. 21, and he is back with the team just two weeks later. Iba\u00f1ez, on the other hand, signed a big-league deal with the Dodgers earlier in the offseason, and is now on waivers.<\/p>\n

Mandatory Credit: John E. Sokolowski-Imagn ImagesWhy is This Move Good for Tommy Edman?<\/p>\n
The Dodgers signed Iba\u00f1ez to a one-year deal, and having played plenty of second base in his time in the big leagues, he was clear insurance for Edman if he couldn\u2019t play come Opening Day.<\/p>\n
With Iba\u00f1ez on the roster, the Dodgers had four players<\/a> who could potentially play at second base on their 40-man roster: Edman, Iba\u00f1ez, Miguel Rojas and Hyeseong Kim.<\/p>\n Iba\u00f1ez is now out of the picture, leaving just Edman, Kim and Rojas to man the position. Edman is the Dodgers most likely choice here, as he played 66 games at the position last season \u2014 more than anyone else on the team.<\/p>\n Edman<\/a> spoke about his recovery during the offseason at DodgerFest on Saturday.<\/p>\n \u201cI got the boot off like two and a half weeks ago,\u201d Edman said.<\/a> \u201cThe last two and a half weeks I\u2019ve been working into walking and pushing off it more. I got into like light skipping this week. Hopefully jogging next this next week. So you know, that\u2019s kind of where I\u2019m at right now and each step along the way, it\u2019s kind of just being patient and making sure I\u2019m hitting all the checkpoints with with no discomfort. And everything I\u2019ve done so far has felt really good.\u201d<\/p>\n Will Tommy Edman Only Play Second Base?<\/p>\n
