Xavier Edwards was scratched from the Marlins’ starting lineup on Friday due to tightness in his back.
The 25-year-old speedster is considered day-to-day for the time being. Javier Sanoja will replace him at shortstop while Jesus Sanchez slides up to the team’s leadoff spot for their battle against Taj Bradley and the Rays on Friday night.
Xavier Edwards went 2-for-4 with a walk, run scored, an RBI and a stolen base against the White Sox on Sunday.
Edwards can be difficult to evaluate from a fantasy perspective. On one hand, he’s scored 18 runs and has 11 stolen bases this season, which is what his fantasy managers were looking for from him when they drafted him. He also has 11 RBI. On the other hand, he’s hitting just .259 with no power whatsoever. Edwards now has just one home run and a .066 ISO 139 career MLB games. Speed is certainly important in fantasy and Edwards could push for 50 steals this year, but his .328 average in 70 games last year looks like a fluke and he might just be a one or two category player this year.
Xavier Edwards went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base against the Nationals on Sunday.
Xavier Edwards, who is having issues with his right knee, is in the Marlins lineup as a DH on Tuesday.
Edwards played shortstop Monday after being scratched from a game that ended up being postponed Sunday, but he will get a half day off here. Javier Sanoja is making his first start at shortstop (or anywhere in the infield) this season.
