Edman, 28, had inflammation in his right wrist last season and underwent surgery in October. He will not participate in any hitting activity for at least a week, according to manager Oliver Marmol.
Able to play all over the field on defense, Edman has been used mostly as a second baseman in the major leagues but played 42 games in center field last season. He was expected to get a permanent outfield role with Masyn Winn and Brandon Crawford set to take over at shortstop.
In 596 career games, all with the Cardinals over the past five seasons, Edman is a .265 hitter with 53 home runs and 222 RBIs. He won a Gold Glove Award at second base in 2021.
