Edman has to pause minor league rehab assignment
Tommy Edman had to pause his minor league rehab assignment over the weekend due to lingering pain in the ankle that he recently sprained. Cardinals’ skipper Oli Marmol said Friday that Edman received a pain-killing injection in the ankle and the club is hopeful he’ll be able to resume his rehab assignment on Tuesday. It’s been such a lengthy recovery process for Edman already, it’s not like a few extra days at this point is going to change much from a fantasy perspective. It would be surprising if Edman is able to make his 2024 regular season debut before the end of July
Schwellenbach will have start pushed back
Spencer Schwellenbach will have his next start pushed back a day until Sunday. Schwellenbach had been scheduled to start on Friday night before that game was postponed due to rain. They’ll now go with Charlie Morton and Bryce Elder in the two games of Saturday’s doubleheader before turning to Schwellenbach on Sunday instead.
