Edmonds has gone deep three times in his first 25 at-bats this month, matching his long ball total for all of August in that short span.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Derrick Goold reports St. Louis Cardinals 3B David Freese is unlikely to come up with the injury to 3B Troy Glaus (shoulder). Freese, the player acquired from the San Diego Padres for OF Jim Edmonds, had a big season at Triple-A hitting 26 homers with 91 RBIs. However, he's not on the 40-man roster, and the team would have to risk losing a player to add him to it.

Chicago Cubs OF Jim Edmonds was given the day off Saturday, Sept. 6, against the Cincinnati Reds, according to The Associated Press. He returned to the lineup Sunday, Sept. 7.

News: Sensing a need for change, Cubs manager Lou Piniella shook up the lineup, benching slumping All-Star right fielder Kosuke Fukudome and center fielder Jim Edmonds on Saturday. He made the right choice by leaving Alfonso Soriano in the No. 1 spot even though he's been struggling as well. Soriano homered three times, and the first-place Cubs emerged from their longest losing streak, ending a six-game slide with a 14-9 win over the Reds.

Analysis: Edmonds hasn't really been struggling, but he will get rest here and there down the stretch and might not start against many left-handed starters. Consider Edmonds more of an NL-only option at this point

Reed Johnson came through for manager Lou Piniella on Saturday night in the eight-hole. Prior to the game, Piniella talked about how the slumping lineup needed shook up. Johnson replaced Jim Edmonds in center and went 2-for-4 and scored twice.He is hitting .305 and may continue to see regular duty as long as he produces. Edmonds is coming off an August that saw him hit just .200.

Jim Edmonds was given the night off on Saturday and Reed Johnson started in his place.Edmonds is batting .189 in his last 14 games, prompting Piniella to give him a day off. Johnson is hitting .303 this season and with the Cubs struggling right now, he has a chance to earn a more consistent role on this offense.

News: Jim Edmonds snapped a 1-for-14 slump with a solo homer in the seventh to tie it at 7 Tuesday. The Cubs had gone three games without an extra-base hit. Alfonso Soriano reversed that trend in the first with his fourth leadoff home run of the season, and the Cubs added three solo blasts and three doubles. "We had a very good offense today," Soriano said. "I hope we come back with more energy tomorrow."

Analysis: Edmonds tends to be a streaky outfielder at this point in his career. Consider him an NL-only option for the most part, but he could prove useful in mixed leagues again when he is going well down the stretch. Track his progress through the weekend before considering him for Fantasy Week 24 (Sept. 8-14)

A timely long ball for Edmonds, who'd gone homerless in 13 consecutive contests heading into Tuesday's affair. While he continues to provide owners with a surprising jolt of power, the veteran outfielder stumbled to a dismal .200 average in 55 at-bats last month, rendering him a frustrating everyday mixed-league play unless he's able to improve his consistency down the stretch.
