The Cardinals’ second baseman played the field in the top of the sixth before leaving Sunday’s 7-5 victory with increasing soreness in his hip flexor. Edman had been playing through the discomfort for several days but felt getting off his feet for a few innings might avoid the injury becoming something that sidelines him for a week, not a game. “It’s just been tight for a couple of days,” said Edman, who is second on the team with a .306 average. “Just progressively, after each at-bat, it just got a little tighter so I figured I would take the rest of the day off. I don’t think it’s a long-term thing, whatsoever.” The Cardinals had circled Monday as a possible day off for Edman — his first breather of the season — and the hip pain cinches it. Edman’s departure from a game and hip soreness comes as the Cardinals and other 29 major-league clubs must cut their roster down from 28 on Sunday to 26 by game time Monday. Edman’s availability in the coming days could influence the final decision for the Cardinals as they weigh carrying 14 pitchers or 13 and an additional infielder.
