Tommy Edman Weeks Away From Full Baseball Activities
10 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) could still be a couple of weeks away from being cleared to take part in full baseball activities. Edman is being eased in at camp this year after having offseason surgery on his right wrist. His delay at spring training could cause him to be unavailable for the start of the 2024 regular season, and even if he's ready, fantasy managers have to consider the possibility that Edman won't be himself at the plate right away. The 28-year-old switch-hitter is still worth drafting as a No. 3/4 fantasy outfielder, though, mainly for his speed and positional versatility -- he played shortstop, second base and the outfield in 2023. When healthy, Edman looked just fine last year, slashing .248/.307/.399 with 13 home runs, 47 RBI and 27 stolen bases in 137 games.
