Edman went 4-for-5 with a home run, four total runs and two total RBI against the Brewers in an 18-1 win Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals racked up 16 hits in the rout, and Edman was responsible for a quarter of those with his first four-hit performance of the campaign. Two of his hits came in the eighth inning, as he led off the 10-run frame with a solo homer and later notched a two-run single. This was a much-needed big game for the second baseman, as he had gone just 3-for-24 over his previous eight contests.

Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Though Edman served as the Cardinals' leadoff man in each of the past three games, all of those starts came with St. Louis facing left-handed pitchers. He'll now find himself on the bench for the second straight matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher and could be in danger of falling into a timeshare at either middle-infield spot with Brendan Donovan and Paul DeJong.

Edman is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paul DeJong will play shortstop and bat seventh versus the Cubs and right-hander Jameson Taillon. Nolan Gorman is at second base and hitting third. Willson Contreras will serve as the designated hitter and hit fifth.

Edman will sit Saturday against the Tigers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edman started 20 of the Cardinals' first 21 games at shortstop, but his playing time has taken a hit since Paul DeJong was recalled in late April. In 13 games with DeJong on the roster, Edman has started five times at second base and four times at shortstop while finding himself on the bench on four occasions. DeJong starts at shortstop Saturday with Brendan Donovan starting at second base.

Edman went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Edman belted a three-run shot to right field in the fourth inning, giving him his first multi-RBI game since April 19. The shortstop had been in the midst of a slump coming into the contest, going just 2-for-15 over his previous three games. Edman is up to five homers and 13 RBI through 30 games on the campaign, putting him on pace to surpass last year's career-best marks of 13 long balls and 57 RBI.

Edman is not in the lineup Friday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The hot-hitting Paul DeJong will handle shortstop duties and bat ninth versus the Dodgers and right-hander Dustin May. Brendan Donovan is starting at second base and batting eighth.

Edman went 2-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a 6-0 win over the Giants on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Edman was quite productive in the outing, plating a run with an infield single in the seventh inning and scoring following a double in the ninth. He also stole his third bag of the campaign, two of which have come in his past five contests. Edman's fantasy managers have to be pleased to see him running more -- after swiping 30-plus bases in each of his previous two campaigns, he began 2023 with just one steal over his first 19 contests.

Edman isn't starting Wednesday against the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edman has been hot at the plate recently, boasting a 1.026 OPS over his last five games. However, he will sit Wednesday in favor of Paul DeJong, who will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Edman took a changeup offering from Sean Manaea over the wall in center field for his fourth home run of the season and the third over his last six games. He would reach again on a fielder's choice in the eighth and later score in the inning. The 27-year-old has turned it up at the dish over the last week, slashing .353/.450/1.059 with three homers, seven RBI, six runs and a 3:0 BB:K. Even with his recent surge at the plate, Edman is still seeing himself bat at the bottom of the order against righties while he's near the top of the lineup against lefties.

Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Edman started the past nine games and will take a seat Sunday for the second time this season. Paul DeJong (back) was activated from the injured list and is making his season debut for the Cardinals at shortstop.
