Edman, who went 2-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Brewers on Tuesday, is hitting .318 (7-for-22) with a home run, two RBI, five walks, a stolen base and four runs across his last six games entering Wednesday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

The versatile 25-year-old continues to serve as a highly valuable defensive asset for manager Mike Shildt, but he's certainly picking up his contributions at the plate. Helping Edman to progressively increase his presence on the basepaths has been an improved walk rate, a figure that's up to 7.2 percent this year after sitting at 4.6 percent in his 2019 rookie campaign.

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

EDGE Analysis

Edman started the past 16 games and will receive the day off for the series finale. Rangel Ravelo will receive the start in right field for the Cardinals.

Edman went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Both of Edman's hits were singles. His first came in the first inning, which was followed by his second stolen base of the year. The 25-year-old has produced four homers, 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and a .259/.320/.403 slash line in 37 games.

Edman went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run during a 6-3 loss to the Tigers in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

His fifth-inning shot off Tyler Alexander gave the Cards a 3-0 lead before the bullpen fell apart, although Edman was also caught stealing for the third time in four attempts this year -- a far cry from his 15-for-16 performance on the basepaths as a rookie. The 25-year-old is slashing .262/.326/.415 through 35 games with four homers and 19 RBI.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during a 7-3 loss to the Twins in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

He also found ways to be productive in the nightcap, going 0-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored. Edman's sixth-inning shot off Jose Berrios was his third homer of the year, but two of them have come in the last three days as he tries to re-discover last season's form in time for the Cards' stretch run.

Edman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Edman's only hit came in his first at-bat, when he took Cubs starter Jon Lester deep. In the third inning, Edman reached on a fielder's choice and scored on a Paul Goldschmidt homer. The 25-year-old Edman is slashing .263/.320/.377 with two homers, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored and a stolen base through 30 games.

Edman went 3-for-7 with a double, a run and an RBI during Tuesday's 16-2 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old now has multiple hits in each of the past three games and is 15-for-43 (.349 average) over his past 10 contests. Edman has a .274/.343/.379 slash line with one homer, five doubles, 12 runs and 12 RBI in 25 games this season.

Edman, who went 2-for-5 with a double and a run in a win over the Reds on Monday, hit .344 (11-for-32) with two doubles, three RBI, three walks, a stolen base and four runs over the final eight games of August.

EDGE Analysis

The versatile 25-year-old has pulled his season line out of the ditch with his current hot streak, as he's quickly boosted his average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage by 47, 47 and 25 points, respectively, in that stretch. Edman's current .261/.337/.364 slash line is beginning to progressively approximate the impressive .304/.350/.500 figures he generated during his 2019 rookie campaign, with a reduction in strikeout rate during that eight-game sample (16.7 percent, down from 19.4 percent) helping his cause.

Edman is out of the lineup Friday against the Indians, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old started both games of Thursday's twin bill and went 3-for-7 with a walk, and he'll take a seat for Friday's contest. Edman is 12-for-34 with two doubles, five runs, seven RBI and a stolen base in his past 10 games. Matt Carpenter will shift to third base while Brad Miller serves as the designated hitter.

Edman went a combined 3-for-7 with a walk over a pair of seven-inning doubleheader games against the Pirates on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

All three of the versatile Edman's hits were singles, but they served to extend his hitting streak to six games by day's end. The 25-year-old hasn't hit a home run since July 28 and only has a pair of extra-base hits (two doubles) in August, but he's now slashing an impressive .353/.436/.412 across 39 plate appearances over his last 10 games, raising his batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage by 82, 89 and 43 points, respectively.
