St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) said he got "generally good news" from the MRI scans he got on his surgically repaired right wrist on Wednesday. However, he's still shut down from most baseball activities until another exam on his wrist takes place on Monday. Edman had surgery on his wrist last October and was unable to play at all in spring training. The 28-year-old could be cleared to ramp up his activity after his next exam on Monday, but there remains no clear timetable for when he might be able to make his 2024 debut. Edman should still be stashed in an injured list spot in all fantasy leagues. With Lars Nootbaar (ribs) and Dylan Carlson (shoulder) also on the IL, rookie Victor Scott II is in the big leagues for the first time in 2024 and has gone just 3-for-25 (.120) through his first seven games with a stolen base and nine strikeouts.
St. Louis Cardinals outfielderTommy Edman(wrist) is set to have an MRI on Wednesday to verify that his wrist is healing and progressing positively. If the MRI yields positive results, Edman will begin a swinging program. The 28-year-old has been recovering from wrist surgery, which was performed in October. However, no date for his return has yet to be determined, as the Cardinals will have a better idea when he will return once the MRI results are in. The Cardinals and fantasy managers will benefit from his speed on the base paths once he returns to St. Louis' lineup. Victor Scott II should continue to handle centerfield duties while Edman is sidelined. After swiping 107 bags in over 163 minor-league games, Scott should be added to all leagues, especially for managers searching for speed.
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) will begin the season on the injured list, according to manager Oliver Marmol. Edman has been recovering from wrist surgery he had in October of last year, but with lingering pain in the wrist, he's yet to make a Grapefruit League appearance. This announcement seemed like it was coming, but with Edman now being shut down for at least a week, it is official. It's unclear when exactly he'll be ready, but for now it seems like Dylan Carlson or speedy prospect Victor Scott II would be the front-runners for replacing him. The 28-year-old now appears to be pricey at pick 171 overall, but he should be counted on for plenty of steals and runs whenever he does debut.
St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol said the club is evaluating the rehabilitation plan for outfielder/infielder Tommy Edman, who is still experiencing pain in his surgically-repaired right wrist. More clarity is coming later on Saturday, Marmol said. Edman spent nearly a month on the injured list in 2023 due to right wrist inflammation and underwent arthroscopic wrist surgery last October, having not yet appeared in any spring training games thus far. The 28-year-old switch hitter appears likely to open 2024 on the injured list at this point, so fantasy managers should start thinking about fading Edman until his 176.7 Yahoo ADP comes down a bit, despite the speedy Gold Glover tallying 40 combined homers and stolen bases in 2023. Until Brendan Donovan starts playing on defense, St. Louis' outfield should feature Alec Burleson, Dylan Carlson, and Jordan Walker from left to right to begin the campaign if Edman isn't ready to go.
St. Louis Cardinals utility player Tommy Edman (wrist) is doubtful for Opening Day, according to president of baseball operations John Mozeliak. Mozeliak said Edman's recovery is not "tracking" on that timetable while it's unclear how much additional time he will need. The 28-year-old was shut down this spring due to pain in his surgically repaired right wrist but recently resumed baseball activities. Edman hit .248 with 13 home runs, 27 stolen bases, and a .706 OPS across 137 games last season, his fifth in the big leagues. He was expected to open the season as the Cardinals' primary center fielder but now it appears that job would likely belong to Dylan Carlson. Edman is eligible at second base, shortstop, and the outfield, giving his power/speed combination additional value, especially at the keystone.
