Homers, drives in two Edman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 10-1 win Friday over Milwaukee.
Impact Edman homered off Jose Urena in the fifth inning to give the Cardinals an 8-0 lead. He has now hit safely in all six games this season and has four extra-base hits. After batting leadoff for the majority of last season, the 26-year-old has hit ninth in all but one start this season. However, his 1.350 OPS is hard to ignore and could warrant some upward movement if he continues to hit well.

Slugs second homer Edman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Thursday against the Brewers.
Impact Edman provided the lone offensive production for the Cardinals when he took Jandel Gustave yard in the eighth inning. He has swung a hot bat to start the season, as he has now collected at least one hit in each of his five starts. Edman also has two home runs, two RBI and three runs scored early on in the campaign.

Swats solo shot Edman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-0 win over the Pirates.
Impact Edman hit ninth Thursday against the right-handed JT Brubaker after hitting leadoff in an everyday role last season. His first hit of the season left the yard in the eighth inning off reliever Aaron Fletcher. Edman isn't known for his pop -- he's posted a modest 27 homers across his three major-league seasons. Batting at the bottom of the order could hurt the second baseman's production due to a drop in the volume of his plate appearances, though there's still a chance he'll hit leadoff against southpaws.

Could drop in order Edman is just 1-for-20 with one runs scored in seven Grapefruit League games.
Impact Edman served as the Cardinals' leadoff hitter for much of last season, but he was dropped to eighth in the order for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals. The 26-year-old is versatile enough on defense to stick in the lineup regularly, but he could be pushed by Edmundo Sosa for the starting gig at second base since Paul DeJong has solidified his place at shortstop. Hitting lower in the order would make it tough for Edman to replicate his 30-steal season from 2021, though he's expected to at least begin the year splitting the leadoff spot with Dylan Carlson and Harrison Bader.

Scores lone run in loss Edman went 3-for-5 with a pair of steals and a run scored in Wednesday's wild-card loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Edman led off the game with a single, stole second, advanced to third on a foul out and came around to score on a wild pitch. That proved to be all the runs the Cardinals could manage in their 3-1 defeat, though Edman certainly did his part, accounting for three of the team's five hits.

Riding pine Saturday Edman isn't starting Saturday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Edman will get a chance to reset after he went 1-for-9 with a run, a stolen base and a strikeout across the last two games. Edmundo Sosa (wrist) will return to the lineup at second base while Paul DeJong starts at shortstop.

Records 29th steal Edman went 0-for-5 in a win over the Cubs on Friday but recorded a stolen base after reaching on a fielder's choice groundout in the fifth inning.
Impact Edman therefore managed to avoid a complete fantasy dud on the night, but his slump at the plate did extend to six games. The outfielder is just 3-for-27 over the course of his skid, although the fact he's only struck out three times during the sample while producing a BABIP just over the Mendoza Line hints at some short-term misfortune when putting the ball in play.

Three hits in matinee win Edman went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in an 8-5 win over the Cubs in the first game of Friday's doubleheader.
Impact The 26-year-old was productive in the matinee. He notched his 28th steal in 33 attempts while adding his fifth multi-hit effort in 10 games. Edman has a less enjoyable nightcap, going 0-for-5 in that contest. Overall, the second baseman has a .265/.311/.390 slash line with 10 home runs, 54 RBI, 88 runs scored and 41 doubles through 663 plate appearances as St. Louis' main leadoff hitter.

Impact After bagging 17 steals in 576 plate appearances through his first two seasons in the big leagues, Edman has increased his aggressiveness on the bases in Year 3, much to the delight of fantasy managers. After adding another two steals to the ledger Tuesday, Edman is now 27-for-32 on stolen-base attempts in 2021. His total ties him for fifth place in the majors entering play Wednesday, leaving him behind only Starling Marte, Whit Merrifield, Trea Turner and Cedric Mullins in the category.
