Edman went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a stolen base and two runs scored Sunday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Edman left the yard in the fifth inning, extending the Cardinals' lead to three on the way to a 5-4 victory. The 24-year-old is slashing .271/.303/.429 with five homers and 19 RBI over 54 games this season for St. Louis.

Edman went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and three runs in a win over the Reds on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Edman was a thorn in the side of Reds pitching throughout the night, setting the table effectively for both Marcell Ozuna and Paul Goldschmidt in the process. The rookie's defensive versatility -- he played both corner-outfield spots Friday -- is helping to keep him in the lineup on an everyday basis, and he's now compiled four multi-hit efforts over his last six starts.

Edman went 3-for-5 with two runs in a win over the Pirates on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

All three of Edman's hits were singles, but it was still another highly productive day for the rookie out of the leadoff spot. Edman now has three consecutive multi-hit tallies and a four-game hitting streak overall, a span during which he has a pair of doubles and a triple.

Edman went 2-for-4 with a triple in a win over the Pirates on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Edman snapped out of a 3-for-26 slump that had encompassed his previous seven games with the three-bagger. The 24-year-rookie has generated 13 extra-base hits (six doubles, three triples and four home runs) over his first 151 plate appearances, solid numbers he's complemented with six stolen bases and 19 runs overall.

Edman will start in right field and bat eighth Sunday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

With Matt Carpenter (foot) returning from the 10-day injured list Sunday, Edman's run as the Cardinals' leadoff man -- at least against right-handed pitching -- looks like it could come to an end. Though there will be room for both Carpenter and Edman in Sunday's lineup, the rookie could be squeezed out against right-handers when no designated hitter is available. Expect Jose Martinez, who will serve as the DH on Sunday, to see most of the action in right field when the Cardinals resume National League play during the upcoming week.

Edman went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in a win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Edman did a nice job setting the table out of the leadoff spot on a couple of occasions, even though the Cardinals weren't able to drive him home in either. The rookie has reached safely in seven consecutive starts and continues to offer well-balanced contributions at the plate, as evidenced by his four doubles, two triples, four home runs and six stolen bases overall across his first 121 big-league plate appearances.

Edman is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Edman started seven of the last eight games but will take a seat Friday after posting a .744 OPS in that stretch. Yairo Munoz will start at the hot corner and bat leadoff in his stead.

Edman will lead off and start at second base Sunday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Edman is starting for the sixth consecutive contest. He's hit well in that span, collecting at least one hit in four of the five games. Overall, he's managed a .275/.301/.513 line across 83 plate appearances this season.

Edman went 3-for-4 with two doubles in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at third base and hitting leadoff, Edman did an excellent job setting the table but got no help from the rest of the St. Louis lineup -- the team managed only six hits in total, and none from the two through five hitters. The rookie is now slashing .275/.301/.513 through his first 29 big-league games.

Edman went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in a win over the Pirates on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie operated out of the leadoff spot once again and provided the big blast of the contest, launching a 408-foot shot to right with the bases juiced in the sixth inning to snap a 3-3 tie. The homer was only Edman's second, but the fact he plated four runs with it pushed his July RBI total to an impressive 10 over 12 games in July (eight starts).
