Edwards (5’11/205) played in a crowded backfield in 2021 as a true freshman at Michigan, but still managed 439 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on just 55 touches, with most of his production coming in the passing game (20-265-1). He shined in 2022 and 2023 playing in a split backfield with current Rams running back Blake Corum, and averaged an impressive 7.1 YPC in 2022 while rushing for 140-991-7. Last season should have been Edwards’ chance to make the most of his opportunities, but the College Football 25 cover boy slipped to No. 2 on the team’s running back depth chart in his final year, and was out-produced by fifth-year prospect Kalel Mullings who played primarily as a linebacker for the first three years of his career. It was a forgettable season for Edwards, who had shone in big spots for Michigan over the years but never fully emerged as the player many expected to see after his stellar 2022 campaign. While he should benefit from having ideal size and athleticism (9.78 RAS, 4.44 40-yard dash), at the position, Edwards’ lack of efficiency while playing for one of the nation’s top rushing programs is concerning. He averaged a paltry 2.74 YCO/ATT for his career, ranking amongst the lowest of any running back prospect since 2020, and his missed tackles forced rate of 15.3 percent puts him in similarly disappointing territory. Even during his impressive 2022 season, Edwards’ production was largely built on what was blocked for him, not what he created. He’s logged only nine special teams snaps in his career, per PFF, but Edwards will likely need to carve out a role on special teams if he hopes to buy himself a longer look at the pro level.

Crawford was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts before his liner to left barely dropped into fair territory and plated the automatic runner in the 11th. It gave him his first RBI in nine games. He’s currently hitting .271/.378/.364 for the season.

Woo has come up big for the Mariners in pitching at least six innings every time out this season and going 4-1 with a 2.84 ERA. The 1-0 lead he left with tonight didn’t hold up, but the Mariners did prevail in extra innings to move to 6-2 in Woo’s starts. He’ll face the White Sox next time out.

Muñoz created his own trouble by hitting Paul Goldschmidt to start the ninth, but that was the only mistake he made as a pair of grounders went on to score pinch-runner Pablo Reyes. Muñoz still hasn’t given up an earned run this season.

Fried needed 91 pitches to get his 15 outs, so he didn’t come back out for the sixth. Still, he was effective in allowing four hits and striking out five. He’ll take a 1.11 ERA into his next start, which will likely come Sunday against the Mets.

Williams followed Luke Weaver, who worked flawless eighth and ninth innings before the game went to extras. It’s Williams’ third straight scoreless appearance and sixth in seven games since he was pulled from the closer’s role. Weaver hasn’t had any issues, either, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Williams get a save chance sometime soon.

Ray joined Max Fried as the only pitchers off to 6-0 starts thus far this season, and the Giants have gone 9-0 in his outings. His peripherals are significantly worse than his 3.04 ERA, but he’s definitely performed better in his last four starts than he did in his first five, when he seemed more lucky than good. He’ll pitch at home against the Royals next time out.
