Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Good to go Monday
Rotowire
Edwards (knee) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Mets.
Edwards had been managing a sore right knee that resulted in him being scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's game in Atlanta before that contest was postponed due to inclement weather. The knee issue put his availability for Monday's series opener in question, but he ultimately won't end up missing any game action. Edwards enters Monday with a .250 average, four runs, three RBI and two stolen bases through Miami's first nine contests.

Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Scratched with sore knee
Rotowire
The Marlins scratched Edwards from the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta due to a sore right knee, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
According to De Nicola, Edwards initially tweaked his knee in the second game of the season March 28, but he played through the injury before aggravating it on a slide back to first base in Saturday's 4-0 win. Javier Sanoja will pick up a start at shortstop Sunday in place of Edwards, who is considered day-to-day heading into Miami's three-game series versus the Mets that begins Monday.

Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Four hits against Mets
Rotowire
Edwards went 4-for-6 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets.
The shortstop rolled into the game having gone 4-for-22 (.182) through his first six starts of the season, but Edwards doubled both his hit and steal totals with Wednesday's performance. Base knocks figure to come in bunches for the 25-year-old after he slashed .328/.397/.423 over 303 plate appearances in a breakout 2024, but even as Miami's everyday leadoff hitter, his fantasy value remains capped due to his lack of power and lack of a reliable supporting cast.

Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Swipes first bag of year
Rotowire
Edwards went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Pirates.
The shortstop reached base on a fielder's choice in the fifth inning and promptly stole second, giving Edwards his first steal of 2025. After swiping 31 in only 70 big-league games last season, the 25-year-old set his sights high this year and said this spring he believes he can steal 60. Through the Marlins' first four games, Edwards is batting .200 (3-for-15) with three walks, a double, two runs and two RBI as the club's everyday leadoff hitter.
Edwards went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two stolen bases in Monday's split-squad game against the Nationals.
The steals were the first of the spring for Edwards, who is batting .320 (8-for-25) through nine Grapefruit League appearances. After a breakout 2024 season, the shortstop is looking to build on a performance that saw him swipe 31 bags in 35 attempts over just 70 games while delivering a .328/.397/.423 slash line.

Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Appears set in leadoff spot
Rotowire
Edwards hit leadoff in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, going 1-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored.
The speedy shortstop is almost certain to be atop the order when Opening Day rolls around after breaking out for a .328/.397/.423 slash line over 303 plate appearances with the Marlins last season. Edwards also swiped 31 bases on 35 attempts over 70 regular-season games, and he's made it his stated goal to take a run at 60 steals in 2025. If your roster or league format can accommodate his lack of power, Edwards offers some strong three-category fantasy appeal.
