Edman (wrist) is scheduled to begin taking live at-bats early next week, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edman is currently doing throwing and fielding work without issue, but the big test for his sore right wrist will be how it holds up against contact swings. The versatile 28-year-old has been on the shelf since July 7 and received an injection in the wrist over the All-Star break to aid the healing process. He could perhaps be activated late next week if there are no setbacks from this point forward.

Edman (wrist) began a throwing program and fielded grounders Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edman has also been cleared to resume taking light swings as he ramps back up following a shutdown period that began just before the All-Star break. It's not yet clear whether he will require a minor-league rehab assignment before he returns from the right wrist inflammation that sent him to the injured list July 7.

Edman received an injection in his right wrist during the All-Star break, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edman is shut down from swinging a bat for the next few days, so it will likely be a while before he returns to St. Louis' lineup. Nolan Gorman has been filling in as the Cardinals' primary second baseman since Edman got hurt while Dylan Carlson receives most of the reps in center field.

The Cardinals placed Edman on the 10-day injured list Friday with right wrist inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
Edman has missed the Cardinals' last two games due to issues in his right wrist. Although his MRI came back clean Thursday, his injury is apparently still severe enough to warrant a trip to the injured list. Edman will be eligible to return from the IL a few days after the All-Star break, and Jose Fermin will come up from Triple-A Memphis to take Edman's place on the roster.

An MRI taken Thursday on Edman's right wrist showed no structural damage, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edman was scratched from the Cardinals' lineup Wednesday after experiencing pain in his wrist during pregame batting practice, but it might have just been a stinger. He's not starting Thursday's series finale against the Marlins and likely won't be used off the bench, but the versatile 28-year-old will presumably be able to return this weekend versus the White Sox.

Edman (wrist) is not in the lineup Thursday at Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Edman told John Denton of MLB.com that he felt intense pain in his right wrist while taking pregame batting practice Wednesday, which prompted the Cardinals to scratch him from the starting lineup about 20 minutes before first pitch. It sounds like something that might require a stint on the injured list, but Edman remains part of the active roster for now. Dylan Carlson will play center field Thursday in Miami, and Paul DeJong is at shortstop.

Edman was scratched from Wednesday's lineup with right wrist discomfort.
EDGE Analysis
Dylan Carlson will step into the Cards' lineup while Edman takes Wednesday to recover. His injury doesn't seem to be too severe, so it's possible Edman returns within a day or two.

EDGE Analysis
Lars Nootbaar is sliding over to center field and Dylan Carlson has been added to the lineup in right field. There is no word yet as to what prompted Edman's sudden removal from the Cardinals' batting order.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Edman is up to 14 steals on the season, six of which have come over 20 games in June. He's hitting just .200 (14-for-70) this month, but he's hit safely in eight of his last 10 contests. For the season, Edman is at a .242/.313/.410 slash line with eight home runs, 27 RBI, 41 runs scored, 14 doubles and three triples through 74 games overall.

Edman went 1-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Edman has four steals over his last eight games while batting just .231 (6-for-26) with a 7:5 BB:K in that span. He's 13-for-14 on the basepaths this season, putting him in a good position to push for a third consecutive 30-steal campaign. He's slashing just .239/.310/.410 with seven home runs, 27 RBI and 39 runs scored, but he remains a versatile part of the Cardinals' defensive alignment while currently operating as the starting center fielder. A career-low .259 BABIP also suggests he's suffered some bad luck.
