TOMMY EDMAN NEWS

Solid in big win Edman went 0-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Royals.

Impact Edman has recorded five of his six steals this season in his last eight games, batting .333 (9-for-27) in that span. The second baseman's strong hitting of late has helped him regain a near-everyday spot atop the order. He has a .308/.419/.474 slash line with three home runs, 11 RBI and 16 runs scored in 23 contests.

Two hits in return Edman went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Royals.

Impact Edman missed one game with left hip flexor soreness. He was the only Cardinal to muster multiple hits in this contest. The second baseman is up to a .316/.409/.487 slash line with three home runs, 11 RBI and 14 runs scored in 89 plate appearances. He was caught stealing for the first time this season, which puts him at 5-for-6 on the basepaths. Edman's strong hitting to begin 2022 has helped him regain the leadoff spot in the order after he lost it to Dylan Carlson during spring training.

Back in action Tuesday Edman (hip) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Royals, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Just as manager Oliver Marmol suggested was the case, the left hip flexor soreness that Edman experienced in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks was never a major concern, even though the 26-year-old was out of the lineup for Monday's 1-0 win over Kansas City. Edman's re-entry into the starting nine a day later implies that he was on the bench Monday mainly for precautionary purposes, so fantasy managers should bank on him playing in each of the Cardinals' remaining six games this week.

Expected to be available Tuesday Manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that he expects Edman (hip) to be available for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact The 26-year-old sat out Monday's game against Kansas City as a precautionary measure after he was removed from Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks with a sore left hip flexor. Marmol has consistently downplayed the severity of the issue, and while Edman will be re-evaluated Tuesday, it seems likely that he'll return to the lineup after missing just one game.

Not concerned about injury Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Edman is feeling great and the team has little concern about the second baseman's sore left hip flexor, even though he's out of the lineup for...

Impact Edman picked up the injury in the seventh inning of Sunday's 7-5 win over the Diamondbacks, but Marmol suggested that the 26-year-old's removal was mostly made out of an abundance of caution. Marmol is terming Edman's absence from the lineup as more of a rest and rehab day, which should be beneficial given that Edman had started in each of the Cardinals' first 21 games of the season. Brendan Donovan will get the nod at second base Monday, but expect Edman to reclaim starting duties at the position Tuesday when the series shifts from St. Louis to Kansas City.

Not starting Monday Edman (hip) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Edman exited Sunday's 7-5 win over the Cardinals with a sore left hip flexor and is considered day-to-day, but he was overdue for a day off anyway after having started in each of the team's first 21 games of the season. Assuming he's able to make progress in the next day or two, Edman should avoid a stint on the injured list. The Cardinals will turn to Brendan Donovan to replace Edman at second base Monday.

Managing hip flexor tightness Edman exited Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks due to tightness in his left hip flexor, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Edman singled in the bottom of the fifth inning but ran awkwardly to first base and was removed from the game shortly after. Manager Oliver Marmol didn't sound too concerned about the 26-year-old's injury, so he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Exits early Sunday Edman was removed from Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks in the top of the seventh inning with an apparent injury, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact According to Woo, Edman was running awkwardly after singling to right field in what proved to be his final plate appearance of the day in the bottom of the fifth, but he still played the field for the next inning before ultimately bowing out of the contest. The Cardinals will likely provide an update on the nature and extent of Edman's injury after the contest. If the issue is something that forces Edman to the injured list, top prospect Nolan Gorman could get a call-up from Triple-A Memphis to fill the void at the keystone.

Records fifth steal Edman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Edman has shown no hesitation to run lately with four of his five stolen bases on the year coming in the last four games. The second baseman has a .318/.416/.515 slash line with three home runs, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, a triple and two doubles through 19 contests. That's earned him time in the leadoff spot.

Scores three runs, knocks in two Edman went 2-for-4 with three runs, two RBI and a walk Thursday in an 8-3 win against Arizona.

Impact Edman once again was a catalyst from the leadoff spot, scoring the Cardinals' first run in the first inning and crossing the plate again in each of the second and sixth frames. The second baseman also drove in a pair of runs while notching his fifth multi-hit game of the season. Edman is thriving to begin the campaign, slashing .323/.425/.532 with three homers, 11 RBI, 12 runs and four stolen bases across 74 plate appearances.

Three hits in Wednesday's win Edman went 3-for-5 with a double, three runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Mets.

Impact The second baseman went 0-for-9 over the prior three games, but he snapped the mini-slump in impressive fashion. Edman has three of his four steals on the season in the last two contests, and he sports a .310/.412/..534 slash line on the season with three homers, nine runs and nine RBI.

Two thefts in loss Edman went 0-for-2 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.

Impact Edman didn't picked up one of the Cardinals' three hits, but he was still able to find ways aboard Tuesday. The 26-year-old then used his speed to get into scoring position, but the Cardinals were unable to bring him home. The second baseman is slashing. 283/.397/.509 with three home runs, eight RBI, six runs scored and three stolen bases through 16 contests. He's led off in four straight games, but he's unlikely to see more than a split of that spot in the lineup with fellow switch-hitter Dylan Carlson.

Swipes first bag of season Edman went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Marlins.

Impact The steal was his first of the season, on his first attempt. While Edman hasn't been running much to begin the season, he's otherwise been extremely effective, slashing .371/.421/.714 with three homers and seven RBI while hitting safely in all 10 games so far. That surge got the 26-year-old second baseman bumped up to the leadoff spot Wednesday for the first time this year.
