Friday marked Edwards' fourth multi-hit game of the season and he's started the year slashing .300/.390/.360 with three stolen bases, eight walks and five RBI across 59 plate appearances.

Steals bag in loss Edwards went 2-for-3 with a steal and a walk in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Mets.

Impact The Miami shortstop returned to the lineup Monday after being scratched Sunday with a sore right knee. Edwards allayed any doubts of his health when he swiped second in the third inning for his third steal in as many attempts. The 25-year-old is slashing .282/.356/.359 with four runs scored and three RBI over 45 plate appearances.

Good to go Monday Edwards (knee) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Mets.

Impact 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.

Scratched with sore knee 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.

Impact 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.

Edwards leads Marlins against the Braves following 4-hit performance

The Miami Marlins take on the Atlanta Braves after Xavier Edwards' four-hit game on Wednesday

APRIL 4, 2025 • Associated Press

Four hits against Mets Edwards went 4-for-6 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets.

Impact 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.

Alonso hits tying homer and Mets edge Marlins 6-5 in 11 innings

Pete Alonso launched a three-run homer that tied the score with two outs in the eighth inning and the New York Mets scored twice in the 11th to beat the Miami Marlins 6-5

Swipes first bag of year Edwards went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

Impact 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.

Gets busy on basepaths 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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Appears set in leadoff spot Edwards hit leadoff in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, going 1-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored.

Impact 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.

MARCH 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Aiming for 60 stolen bases Edwards said Friday that his goal is to steal 60 bases this season, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Impact Edwards pilfered 31 bags while being caught only four times over 70 games with the Marlins in 2024, so it's not unreasonable to think he could get to 60 stolen bases in 2025 if he has a full, healthy season. The 25-year-old speedster is light on power but should be an asset in the steals and average categories in fantasy in 2025.

Shoulder feeling much better Edwards said earlier this month of his right shoulder that it's the "best it's felt in years" since he began a new throwing program this offseason, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com r...

Impact Edwards first suffered a right shoulder impingement back in 2022 and had resigned himself to having to throw through discomfort. However, after working with Marlins director of catching Maxx Garrett on a new throwing program, Edwards said "it's not bothering me to throw at all" anymore. The shoulder issue didn't seem to impact Edwards at the plate in 2024, as he slashed .328/.397/.423 with one homer and 31 stolen bases in 70 games for the Marlins. However, being free and easy in all phases of his game can only help the 25-year-old's prospects heading into 2025.

Stays hot Friday Edwards went 4-for-6 with three triples, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over Toronto.

Impact Edwards knocked a pair of two-run triples in the second and seventh innings, sandwiched around another triple in the fourth. He became the first Marlin to ever rack up three triples in a game. It was Edwards' fourth consecutive multi-hit contest, during which he had five extra-base hits and seven RBI. For the year, he owns an impressive .327/.396/.420 slash line with 17 extra-base hits and 37 runs scored through 68 games.
