Tommy Edman News
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) will start taking dry swings on Monday and will hit off a tee on Tuesday. Meanwhile, outfielder Dylan Carlson (shoulder) will hit off a tee on Monday and will progress to soft toss this week. Edman is probably further from making his 2024 debut than Carlson after recovering from offseason surgery on his right wrist. When healthy, the 28-year-old will be St. Louis' starting center fielder after slashing .248/.307/.399 with a career-high-tying 13 home runs, 47 RBI and 27 stolen bases in 137 games played. Edman should be rostered in most fantasy baseball leagues despite his late start to the season. Carlson was shut down for two weeks after receiving a cortisone injection for an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. The 25-year-old could have been playing every day if he was healthy, but when he returns, he might merely be the team's fourth outfielder.
St. Louis Cardinals center fielder Dylan Carlson (shoulder) and shortstop Tommy Edman (wrist) will begin hitting activities on Monday. Per Cardinals' manager Oli Marmol, the two will begin to ramp up their rehab process on Monday by hitting off a tee and taking soft toss. Edman had previously been cleared for baseball activities while Carlson had not, so this is a positive sign for Carlson's progress. No return timeline has been established for either player. In Carlson's absence, Victor Scott II's takeover in center field has not gone well with Scott hitting for just a .091 batting average. Masyn Winn has filled in for Edman at shortstop much more admirably, hitting .379 to start this season. Edman will hold more value to fantasy managers than Carlson upon their returns.
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) was cleared by a doctor on Monday to start baseball activities. Edman will now restart his buildup that will essentially be the start of spring training for him, so the 28-year-old isn't going to make his 2024 debut for the Cardinals anytime soon. Outfield prospect Victor Scott II has been filling in at center field for St. Louis with Lars Nootbaar (ribs) and Dylan Carlson (shoulder) also hurt, but he's really struggling at the plate so far and could be sent back to the minors once Nootbaar is ready to return. Edman will be a lineup regular for the Cardinals when he's eventually fully healthy, making him a must-stash in all fantasy leagues.

2023 was a slight down year for Edman, as he posted a career-low .248 AVG and 27 steals, a three-year low. Still, Edman has a lot to offer fantasy managers as a versatile speedster. He can play second base, shortstop, and outfield, and should be a lock for double digit homers and 25 steals so long as he stays healthy. Edman has added a little power every season, and put up a respectable 89.1 MPH average exit velocity and .150 ISO last season. His batting average could certainly rebound, as Edman had a career-low .275 BABIP last season despite being in the 87th percentile of sprint speed. He'll need to elevate the ball more, as Edman had a pitiful 16.8% line drive rate last season, compared to a 20.7% career mark. He won't be hitting .300 anytime soon, but a .260-.270 AVG is in the realm of possibility with some better contact. Edman's speed and versatility gives him a high floor, though there isn't much breakout potential here.
