Edwards

Edwards capped off a four-run uprising in the fourth inning with an RBI single off of Tyler Rogers. He also singled with one out in the seventh inning and swiped second base before ultimately getting stranded at third. The speedy 26-year-old infielder finishes the season hitting .283/.343/.353 with three homers, 43 RBI and 27 stolen bases in 34 attempts.

Edwards appears to be fine after undergoing some precautionary imaging earlier this week on his injured right wrist. The 26-year-old speedster was held out of the lineup on Friday night for the sixth consecutive contest, but appears poised to avoid a trip to the injured list.

The good news is that Edwards underwent imaging on his injured wrist on Wednesday that didn’t show any structural damage. He’s still considered day-to-day, but it sounds like the Marlins are optimistic that he’ll be able to rejoin the lineup at some point over the weekend.

Javier Sanoja draws another start at the keystone as Edwards continues to sit with right wrist discomfort. It’s an encouraging sign that the 26-year-old speedster hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet, which means he has a shot at returning sometime later this week. There should be an update on his status prior to Thursday’s series finale.

It’s a tough break for fantasy managers hoping to have the speedy Edwards back for the start of a three-game series at high-octane Coors Field. The 26-year-old infielder has been out since last weekend dealing with right wrist discomfort. It’ll be Javier Sanoja taking over at the keystone in his absence.

Edwards will sit again to rest his sore right wrist after being scratched from Saturday’s lineup. Rookie Maximo Acosta will handle second base in his absence. The 26-year-old middle infielder is considered day-to-day heading into Tuesday’s series opener against the Rockies at Coors Field.

It sounds like a precautionary decision with rookie Maximo Acosta taking over at second base for Saturday’s showdown against the Tigers. There should be an update regarding his status following the contest.

Edwards started the home half of the first inning by reaching on an infield single off of MacKenzie Gore. He then scored the game’s first run on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Heriberto Hernandez. He also drew a walk in the seventh inning but was erased on a double play. The 26-year-old infielder is now hitting .282/.341/.356 on the season with three homers, 39 RBI and 24 stolen bases (in 31 attempts).

Edwards supplied a couple pivotal insurance runs for Miami when he took Nationals reliever Jackson Rutledge deep for a ninth-inning homer. It was his third big fly of the season and first time leaving the yard since August 13. The 26-year-old middle infielder has been underwhelming from a stolen base perspective with just 24 thefts in 127 games after notching 31 thefts across 70 contests last season.

Otto Lopez has been bumped up to the leadoff spot with rookie Maximo Acosta at the keystone over Edwards for the second straight game. The 26-year-old speedster has endured a disappointing campaign overall with just 24 stolen bases across 123 games. However, he’s been mired in an extended tailspin of later, batting .129 (8-for-62) with zero homers and one steal over his last 15 games.
