Manager Tony La Russa said after Wednesday's win over the Astros that the club expects to place Jim Edmonds on the 15-day disabled list prior to its game Friday night against the Cubs. Edmonds last played on Sunday against the Padres, so the DL move could be backdated to then. His last start came Friday in San Diego. "I'd be surprised if he's on the active list come Friday," La Russa said.
