Tommy Edman Nearing Rehab Assignment
5 days agoSt. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist, ankle) is in St Louis and has been taking swings. The Cardinals would like to get him in a live batting practice and then send him out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Edman sprained an ankle on June 24 while fielding ground balls, briefly pausing his rehab from offseason right wrist surgery, but he's on the cusp of finally being cleared for game action. With a good chance of getting reinstated to the major-league roster shortly after the All-Star break in mid-July, Edman is someone to look for on fantasy waiver wires for rosters in need of speed. Last year, the 29-year-old switch-hitter tallied 25 doubles, 69 runs scored, and 27 stolen bases over 479 at-bats for the Cards.
