Tommy Edman News
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 has become one of the most prominent base stealers in the game over the last couple of seasons, swiping 62 bases the previous two years, including 32 in 2022. He did this with 86th-percentile sprint speed and was caught only three times. Edman's value wasn't just dependent on his baserunning, though, as he hit .265, scored 95 runs, and swatted 13 home runs while driving in 57. A decent .258 xBA and 17.6% strikeout rate that was just above his career 16.6% rate backed his numbers. Edman likes hitting the ball on the ground, posting a groundball rate of 49.4% this season and 47.3% for his career, which is a good recipe for someone with his skill set. Additionally, the 27-year-old saw career highs in multiple power metrics such as barrel rate (6.2%), exit velocity (88.6 MPH), and hard-hit rate (37.8%). If he can pull the ball more than 20.8% on flyballs and closer to his career mark of 24.6%, he might crack 15 HRs for the first time. Edman can easily maintain his numbers from a season ago, especially if he bats second, as projected. Considering stolen bases are so coveted nowadays, it'll be hard for fantasy managers to find a multi-category contributor who can run at his ADP of 79. Fantasy managers should take advantage of the lower price tag.
