2024 Fantasy Outlook
Edman sat out most of July due to a wrist injury but was otherwise a lineup regular for the Cardinals again in 2023. The team as a whole took a major step back, but the veteran utility man largely looked like himself with a .248/.307/.399 slash line in 137 games, which is only slightly worse than his figures from 2022. Edman's run total dropped to 69 last season after two straight years over 90, but his 13 homers, 27 stolen bases and 47 RBI were comparable to the prior campaign, especially since he played in 16 fewer contests. He split his playing time evenly between shortstop, second base and the outfield, as his versatility remains a boon for both the Cardinals and fantasy managers. Edman batted .259 and has averaged 12 homers, 30 stolen bases, 53 RBI and 85 runs across the past three seasons, and a similar campaign likely awaits in 2024 given his consistency during that span.

Moves to injured list
The Cardinals placed Edman (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
ANALYSIS
It's been known for nearly two weeks that Edman would be starting the season on the injured list, and the move is now official just ahead of Opening Day. The 28-year-old has been taking part in baseball activities, but it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined. Prospect Victor Scott will begin the campaign as St. Louis' primary center fielder with Lars Nootbaar (ribs) and Dylan Carlson (shoulder) also on the shelf.

2020
A graduate from Stanford with a degree in math and computational science, Edman is a smart baseball player and you can see it in certain stats like his stolen-base success rate (career 79-for-92). He picks his spots and maximizes his natural talent. While Edman doesn't draw a ton of walks, he puts the ball in play and can hit for decent average and a bit of pop from both sides of the plate. It's worth noting that of Edman's 32 steals last season, 21 came when he batted out of the leadoff spot. Conversely, he only stole two bags in 31 games batting at the bottom of the order, so the Cardinals' lineups will be worth watching as we push closer to Opening Day. Regardless of where he slots in, Edman will be in the staring nine close to every day thanks to his defensive prowess. He is eligible at both middle-infield positions entering 2023.
