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.

Resuming rehab Wednesday
Edman (wrist) is expected to resume his rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield on Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
ANALYSIS
Edman played four rehab games with Springfield from July 9 through 14 but has missed the last week of action due to lingering ankle soreness. He'll go through a workout Tuesday, and assuming all goes well, he'll return to game action Wednesday as Springfield's designated hitter. Edman has yet to play the field and will need to show he can handle multiple positions with no concerns before he's ready for his season debut with the Cardinals.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
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.

More work in CF coming?
The Cardinals believe Edman has the potential to win a Gold Glove in center field, and he could see more chances at the position in 2024, reports Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old won a Gold Glove at second base in 2021 and is a good bet to win the utility award in 2023, and more time in center field could be in store next year, especially if Dylan Carlson's recovery from foot/ankle surgery keeps him sidelined. Edman had a 92 wRC+ with 13 homers and 27 steals over 137 games in 2023, and his average-at-best bat plays better at a premium defensive position.
