No Firm Timeline On Tommy Edman Playing Spring Games
9 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that there is no firm timetable for when middle infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) will begin playing in Grapefruit League games. The 28-year-old had offseason surgery on his right wrist and is now hitting off a tee and with soft toss from coaches. The switch-hitter is progressing quicker hitting from the right side of the plate. Like the Cardinals overall, Edman had a down 2023, slashing .248/.307/.399 with 13 home runs, 69 runs scored, 47 RBI, and 27 stolen bases in 528 plate appearances. While Edman provides plenty of speed and could benefit from a lineup bounce back, his lack of power may be dinged further as he returns from his wrist injury. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for further updates over the coming weeks.
