St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) is set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment Saturday. The 28-year-old is slated to work out with the team on Thursday and Friday and head for the assignment thereafter. It puts Edman on track to return to the major-league lineup as early as Tuesday's series opener versus the Minnesota Twins. The speedy Edman has sat on the injured list with right wrist inflammation since July 7. The former Gold Glover is hitting .237 with a .693 OPS, seven home runs, 29 RBI, and 14 stolen bases over 372 at-bats this season. Fantasy managers should ensure Edman isn't available on waiver wires.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) is scheduled to take live at-bats at some point in Arizona during the team's upcoming series against the Diamondbacks, which begins on Monday. The 28-year-old has been on the mend with right wrist inflammation since July 7 and recently received an injection amid the All-Star break as he fields and throws without problems. If Edman is able to handle swings without a setback, it looks like he could potentially be activated off the 10-day injured list as early as next weekend. The former Gold Glover is batting .237 with a .693 OPS, seven home runs, 29 RBI, and 14 stolen bases in 372 at-bats this year. Edman deserves to be stashed in the majority of fantasy leagues for his speed alone.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) received an injection in his right wrist over the All-Star break this week and is still several days away from being able to swing a bat. It ensures that his injured-list stay won't be at minimum length. Edman has been on the shelf since July 6, and it will be a little longer now before he appears for the Cardinals in the second half of the season. With the 28-year-old out recently, Nolan Gorman has been playing mostly at second base, with Dylan Carlson the main option in center field. Edman should return to a regular role in the infield and outfield when he's healthy. Speed is his greatest asset for fantasy managers. He currently has 14 after going over 30-plus thefts each of the previous two seasons.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 28-year-old came off the bench on Thursday after being scratched from Wednesday's game. The good news is, the MRI came back clean, so Edman isn't dealing with anything too serious. The Cardinals will give him some extra time to recover with the All-Star break quickly approaching. The expectation is that he'll return shortly after the break. In a corresponding move, infielder Jose Fermin has been recalled from Triple-A Memphis.

An MRI exam on St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman's (wrist) injured right wrist didn't show any structural damage. Edman is encouraged after having the scan, although he missed Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins after being scratched on Wednesday. The 28-year-old felt pretty intense pain in his wrist while taking batting practice before Wednesday's game, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. There's a chance that he could return this weekend against the Chicago White Sox, but the Cardinals could also choose to hold him out before next week's All-Star game as a precaution. Edman has been an everyday player for St. Louis and is currently slashing .237/.303/.391 with seven home runs, 29 RBI, 14 stolen bases and 44 runs scored. He remains day-to-day and should avoid the injured list.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) will start on the bench on Thursday with the team taking on the Miami Marlins. Edman was scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup after feeling intense pain in his right wrist while taking batting practice before the game. With the All-Star break coming up next week, there's a good chance we won't see Edman on the field again in the first half of the 2023 season. Nolan Gorman is starting at second base and batting fifth, while Dylan Carlson will start in center field and bat ninth on Thursday against Marlins right-hander Eury Perez. Edman has been useful for his speed this year with 14 stolen bases, and he's added a .237 average (65-for-274) with seven home runs, 29 RBI and 44 runs scored for fantasy managers.

Updating a previous report, St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Miami Marlins due to right-wrist discomfort. Until we get more updates on Edman's condition, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day moving forward. Hopefully, he'll be able to return to the field for Thursday's series finale against the Fish. The 28-year-old switch-hitter is a lineup regular for the Cardinals when he's healthy, and he's hitting .255 (12-for-47) with no homers, two doubles, a triple, three RBI and two stolen bases in his last 13 games. Speed is his greatest asset for fantasy managers, as he's swiped 14 bags in 82 total games in 2023.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Tommy Edman has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Miami Marlins. The organization has not given a reason for pulling Edman from the lineup. The hope is that it's a minor issue, but the team should give an update later in the night. In the meantime, Lars Nootbaar is moving over the center field and Dylan Carlson taking over in right field versus right-hander Bryan Hoeing.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Edman went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Edman has had a tough time generating offense at the plate recently. He's recorded a base hit in just two of his last 27 at-bats over his previous eight games played. In that time, he has no home runs and only one stolen base. Overall this season, Edman has six home runs and eight stolen bases, but fantasy managers would like to see his bat get hot again because he can't steal first base.

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman (abdomen) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He left early during Thursday's game due to abdominal soreness after colliding with teammate Lars Nootbaar in the outfield. Edman was held out of the lineup on Friday, but was able to come into the game as a pinch hitter. He'll bat ninth and play second base versus right-hander Noah Syndergaard on Saturday. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Edman back in their lineups.

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman (abdomen) is absent from the starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. This isn't shocking considering Edman exited early on Thursday due to abdominal soreness. He suffered the injury when colliding with teammate Lars Nootbaar in the third inning. For now, the Cardinals are considering Edman day-to-day. Nolan Gorman will cover second base and bat third versus right-hander Tony Gonsolin on Friday.

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman/outfielder Tommy Edman (abdomen) was removed from Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to lower abdomen soreness. He collided with teammate Lars Nootbaar attempting to catch a fly ball during the third inning. Juan Yepez replaced Edman in his next at-bat. He went 0-for-1 before exiting. The severity of Edman's injury is unknown and is considered day-to-day. Yepez would see an uptick in at-bats if Edman is forced to miss any time. He homered in Thursday's game and is worth a speculative add in deep-league formats while Edman is sidelined.

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman is absent from the starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. The 27-year-old will now sit out two of the last three games for rest purposes. The return of Paul DeJong has cut into the playing time of Edman. On Friday, DeJong will cover shortstop and bat ninth, while Brendan Donovan plays second base against righty Dustin May. Edman has struggled against right-handed pitching this season, so possibly that's why he's out of the lineup here.

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman is back in Thursday's lineup against right-hander Logan Webb and the San Francisco Giants after sitting out on Wednesday. He's starting at second base and batting ninth in the lineup. Edman is hitting .267 (20-for-75) with two doubles, a triple, four home runs, nine RBI, two stolen bases and 12 runs scored in his first 23 games of the season, but he hasn't hit right-handed pitchers well at all. The 27-year-old switch-hitter has gone just 10-for-60 (.167) with a triple, a homer and four RBI in 70 plate appearances against righties. It's good to see him back in the lineup, but fantasy managers should probably keep him on their benches on Thursday until he gets going against righties.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Tommy Edman had a big game at the plate in a 14-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Edman went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, a homer, a walk, three runs, and five RBI in the lopsided win. Although the veteran infielder fell just a single shy of hitting for the cycle, he did rip a three-run homer off of Arizona starter Madison Bumgarner in the third inning. Edman is off to a solid start for the Cardinals this season, hitting .274 with two homers, nine runs, seven RBI, and a steal across 62 at-bats.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Tommy Edman collected a pair of hits over five at-bats and scored a run in Thursday's Opening Day 10-9 loss against the Toronto Blue Jays. It was an encouraging start to the season for the 27-year-old, but fantasy owners wouldn't have been too pleased with his spot in the batting order. Many pegged Edman as the leadoff hitter going into 2023 after slashing .265/.324/.400 with 13 home runs and 32 steals last season. But considering the former Gold Glover winner's splits from 2022 (.782 OPS against lefties, .704 OPS against righties), he may only hit from the one spot with a southpaw on the mound. Edman will still have plenty of chances to be at least a two-category contributor, though, in a great Cardinals lineup.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Tommy Edman and Lars Nootbaar will sit out against JT Brubaker and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. Edman has played in 17 straight games for the Cardinals, and appears to just be getting a breather today. Nootbaar, on the other hand, has now been out of the starting lineup in three of the team's last eight games after playing in every game but one in August. To be fair, Nootbar has been ice cold, going hitless in his last 22 at-bats. With the Cardinals outfield jammed up, expect playing time to be distributed on a who's hot basis among these two, Tyler O'Neill, Corey Dickerson, and Brendan Donovan.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Tommy Edman had another solid game Saturday, going 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in an 8-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Edman now has 13 home runs on the year to go with a .726 OPS, 86 runs scored, 51 RBI, and 26 stolen bases. He has a six-game hitting streak with four home runs and three multi-hit performances in that span. The stolen bases alone would make him valuable in fantasy, but with a bit of a power surge going on, he's much more than a one-dimensional option.

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman went 3-for-5 with a triple and a stolen base in the 8-3 win over the division-rival Chicago Cubs on Thursday. Edman is now tied for third in the majors with Ronald Acuna Jr. and Cedric Mullins with 25 stolen bases on the season. The 27-year-old has lost some fantasy upside while hitting lower in the Cardinals batting order, but he's still putting up good numbers overall. In 461 at-bats in 2022, he's hitting .256/.317/.377 with nine home runs, 43 RBI, 79 runs scored and the 25 stolen bases. In 22 games in August, Edman is 19-for-71 (.268) with two home runs, eight RBI, 13 runs scored and four stolen bases.

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Cards are rolling with Nolan Gorman, who's batting leadoff, at second base and Edmundo Sosa at shortstop against right-hander Kyle Gibson. Edman has now sat out two of the last three games but should be back in the starting lineup on Sunday's series finale. The 27-year-old infielder is slashing .258/.361/.468 with seven home runs, 32 RBI, and 19 stolen bases over 330 at-bats this year.
