Tommy Edman Under The Weather
10 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals center fielder Tommy Edman (illness) missed the first full-team workout in spring training on Monday due to a stomach bug, according to manager Oliver Marmol. Edman's health may not have mattered, as the Cardinals are expected to ease him in at camp this year after he had offseason surgery on his wrist. The 28-year-old probably won't play in Grapefruit Games right away as a result, but he's still expected to be ready by Opening Day. His wrist injury aside in 2023, Edman was one of the bright spots in a disappointing 2023 campaign for the Cardinals. He hit .248/.307/.399 with 13 home runs, 47 RBI, 27 stolen bases and 69 runs scored in 479 at-bats. The switch-hitter is a useful utility player for fantasy managers, mainly for his speed (89 stolen bases in the last three years).
