Pontiac, Michigan – In an emotional announcement that has sent shockwaves across the sports world, the family of Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Tommy Edman revealed just 30 minutes ago that his beloved mother, Maureen Edman, is currently in critical condition at a local hospital. She is 53 years old.

The announcement came during a quiet family gathering in Pontiac, where the Edman family had been spending time away from the media spotlight. In a somber statement released to the press, the family shared that Maureen had been rushed to the hospital earlier this morning after experiencing what doctors described as a “sudden and severe medical episode.”

“We are devastated to share that Maureen is currently in critical condition,” the Edman family wrote. “She is receiving the best medical care possible, and we ask for privacy during this deeply painful time.”

The news has hit fans especially hard, as Maureen Edman was known among Dodgers faithful not only as the supportive mother of a Major League star, but also as a kind and generous figure in the community. She frequently attended games, cheered from the stands with heartfelt pride, and was often seen embracing fans, taking pictures, and supporting her son with unwavering love.

Tommy Edman, 29, has not made a public comment since the news broke, but Dodgers management has confirmed he has taken an emergency leave of absence to be with his family. Teammates and coaches have rallied behind him with words of encouragement and support.

“Tommy is more than just a teammate—he’s family to us,” said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts in a brief press conference. “Our hearts are with him and his family right now. Maureen is a wonderful woman, and we’re all hoping and praying for her recovery.”

On social media, thousands of fans have expressed their support using the hashtag #PrayForMaureen, with messages of love, prayer, and strength pouring in from across the country. Some fans have even shared personal stories of meeting Maureen and being touched by her warmth and humility.

Known for her quiet strength, Maureen Edman has always been a cornerstone in Tommy’s life and career. In previous interviews, Tommy credited his mother as the person who taught him perseverance, discipline, and compassion. “She’s my hero,” he once said. “Everything I am on and off the field, I owe to her.”

As of now, no further medical updates have been shared, but the Edman family has promised to release more information when appropriate.

In a world where athletes are often seen as larger than life, moments like this remind us of their humanity. Tommy Edman, despite his success on the diamond, is now simply a son standing by his mother’s side—hoping, waiting, and praying.
