Swipes two more bags Saturday Edwards went 1-for-4 with two walks, a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Impact The Marlins ran wild on Kyle Higashioka, going 5-for-5 on steal attempts on the afternoon with Edwards leading the charge. The 25-year-old shortstop is up to 15 stolen bases in 17 attempts through only 37 games on the season, but he's been even more dangerous on the basepaths over the last couple weeks, going 11-for-11 in the last 16 contests while slashing .359/.419/.469. The last player in MLB history to steal 100 or more bases over a full season was Vince Coleman in 1987 with 109, but that's the kind of pace Edwards is on right now.

Keeps running Thursday Edwards went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Reds.

Impact The 25-year-old has become a menace on the basepaths. Edwards has 13 steals in 35 games since joining the big-league roster, and 10 in his last 17 contests -- a stretch in which he's slashing .406/.461/.516. His .375 batting average is fueled by an unsustainable .452 BABIP, but Edwards is firmly entrenching himself as Miami's starting shortstop and leadoff hitter of the present and future.

Swipes 12th bag Edwards went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Reds.

Impact He remains one of the few bright spots in the Marlins' depleted lineup. Edwards has his safely in eight straight games, batting .469 (15-for-32) over that stretch to boost his slash line on the season to .383/.456/.470 through 137 plate appearances with a homer, 12 steals, 13 RBI and 19 runs.

AUGUST 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two steals against Atlanta Edwards went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Friday's loss to Atlanta.

Impact The switch hitter continues to be a terror on the basepaths, going 8-for-8 on steal attempts over the last 11 games. Edwards is also batting an absurd .447 (17-for-38) during that stretch with eight runs, eight RBI and a 7:8 BB:K, and he's cementing his spot as the Marlins' shortstop, and leadoff hitter, of the present and future.

AUGUST 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in three against Tampa Edwards went 1-for-3 with three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

Impact A sacrifice fly in the third inning and a two-run single in the seventh accounted for half of the Marlins' offense in a 6-2 victory over the team that traded Edwards to Miami in 2022. The 24-year-old shortstop is establishing himself as one of the key players in the Marlins' latest rebuild, slashing a stunning .395/.461/.500 through 24 games in July with a homer, nine steals, 12 RBI and 14 runs.

Hits for cycle Edwards hit for the cycle while going 4-for-4 with a walk in Sunday's loss to Milwaukee. He scored two runs and had one RBI.

Impact Edwards knocked a leadoff home run on the first pitch of the game. It was the first long ball of his MLB career. He reached base in each of his five plate appearances and finished off the cycle with an infield single in the ninth inning. Since rejoining the Marlins in early July, Edwards has gone 31-for-78 (.397) with six extra-base hits over 22 games. He owns a .956 OPS through 105 plate appearances.

Notches two thefts Saturday Edwards went 0-for-3 with a walk and a pair of stolen bases in Saturday's 7-3 victory versus Milwaukee.

Impact Though he didn't get a hit in the contest, Edwards had a productive performance from a fantasy perspective with the pair of thefts. His ninth-inning walk extended his on-base streak to 14 games, during which the shortstop is batting .404 (19-for-47) with eight stolen bases and a 10:9 BB:K. Despite his lack of power, Edwards has been a solid fantasy pickup due to his speed and ability to rack up hits.

Swipes fifth bag Edwards went 2-for-4 with a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Thurday's extra-inning loss to the Orioles.

Impact Batting second against ace right-hander Corbin Burnes, Edwards delivered his ninth multi-hit performance in the last 15 games while stealing his fifth bag of the year. The 24-year-old shortstop is slashing a blistering .431/.500/.471 over that stretch with seven RBI, nine runs and a 9:7 BB:K, and the move to the top of the order is likely to stick as long as he keeps raking. If the trade rumors circling Jazz Chisholm pan out, Edwards seems likely to become the Marlins' leadoff hitter in August.

JULY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies three hits Wednesday Edwards went 3-for-3 with a walk, a run and an RBI in a 6-3 win against Baltimore on Wednesday.

Impact Edwards had seven multi-hit performances through 21 games coming into Wednesday, but his three-hit effort was his first of the campaign. The shortstop is now battling a sizzling .361 over 72 at-bats, though he's yet to go deep. Edwards has a 12:14 BB:K across 85 plate appearances and has four thefts, so he's an intriguing fantasy target for managers needing a boost in batting average, OBP and/or stolen bases.

JULY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two pilfers in Sunday's win Edwards went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Impact The 24-year-old switch hitter, acquired from the Rays in Nov. 2022, appears to be solidifying his spot as the Marlins' shortstop of both the present and the future. Edwards has multiple hits in six of the last eight games, batting .448 (13-for-29) over that stretch with two doubles, two RBI, three steals, four runs and a 4:3 BB:K. Manager Skip Schumaker has mainly had Edwards hitting fifth or lower since his promotion at the beginning of the month, but his skill set would seem very well suited for the top of the batting order.

Steals first bag of season Edwards went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Astros.

Impact Batting sixth with right-hander Jake Bloss on the mound for Houston, Edwards' speed was on full display -- he advanced on two wild pitches in the second inning before coming home with Miami's second run, and he then singled and stole his first bag of 2024 in the sixth. Edwards had 37 steals in 41 attempts between Triple-A and the majors last year, so if he keeps getting on base, his wheels could translate into consistent fantasy value. The 24-year-old infielder has hit safely in 10 of the last 11 games, slashing .333/.395/.410 over that stretch, and he seems likely to remain the Marlins' starting shortstop even when Otto Lopez (back) has returned from the IL.

JULY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Taking hold of regular role Edwards will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Since being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Edwards has picked up six straight starts while stepping in as the club's new everyday shortstop in place of Tim Anderson, who was designated for assignment. Edwards has gone 6-for-19 with a double, two walks, three runs and one RBI over his first five starts, and so long as he can keep turning in productive at-bats, he should have a stranglehold on a regular role. The 24-year-old hasn't made an impact on the basepaths yet, but he stole five bags in 119 plate appearances at Triple-A earlier this season and recorded 37 steals between 123 games with Jacksonville and the Marlins in 2023.

JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A The Marlins recalled Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Edwards is taking the roster spot vacated by Tim Anderson, who has been designated for assignment. The switch-hitting Edwards could also get a shot at shortstop in Anderson's place, although he will have to contend with Vidal Brujan there for playing time. Edwards is a potential stolen-base contributor in fantasy should he receive regular reps, although it's a question as to whether he'll ultimately hit enough to be able to take advantage of that speed.
