Edman isn't starting Wednesday against the Mets, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Edman is currently riding a four-game hit streak in which he's gone 4-for-16 with a homer, a triple, four runs, two RBI and a stolen base, but he'll be out of the lineup for the first time since May 2. Brendan Donovan will shift to second base while Edmundo Sosa starts at shortstop.
