Edwards is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins are wrapping up their series against Colorado with a day game after a night game, so Edwards is likely just getting a breather after he recently made his return from the injured list. Since being activated Saturday after he was on the shelf for just under two weeks due to a mid-back strain, Edwards has gone 7-for-13 with a double, a walk, two runs and an RBI in four games.

Edwards went 5-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards made his first start at second base and was responsible for the bulk of the Marlins' offense, scoring their first run in the sixth inning and driving in another in the seventh. According to Justin Morris of MLB.com, he tied a franchise record for hits in a game with his first career five-hit performance. The 25-year-old is now slashing .282/.352/.316 with 12 RBI, 19 runs scored and 11 steals across 200 plate appearances this season.

The Marlins reinstated Edwards (back) from the injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards won't be in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Francisco, but he is now fully healthy after sitting out since May 14 with a strained back. After a successful 2024 campaign, the 25-year-old has regressed a bit this year, slashing .263/.337/.292 through 194 plate appearances.

Edwards (back) will start at second base in his first rehab game with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday and is expected to serve as the Marlins' primary option at the keystone once he's reinstated from the 10-day injured list, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards broke into the big leagues as a second baseman in 2023 but has primarily played shortstop since the beginning of the 2024 season. While the Marlins don't seem opposed to occasionally using Edwards at shortstop moving forward, Otto Lopez has fared well defensively at the position since returning to action May 18 following an IL stint of his own, so Edwards will prepare for a full-time role at second base with Miami during his rehab assignment. Edwards is expected to need only a couple games with Jacksonville before potentially being activated at some point over the weekend.

Manager Clayton McCullough said Wednesday that Edwards (back) will play in a couple rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville before rejoining the Marlins "very soon," Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old has been sidelined by a back strain since May 14 and will need a couple games in the minors to get back up to speed before being activated by Miami. After posting a .328/.397/.423 slash line with 31 steals in 70 games last season, Edwards got off to a slower start in 2025 with a .629 OPS and 11 steals through 42 contests.

Edwards (back) has been participating in baseball activities, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards was placed on the 10-day injured list May 18 due to a left mid-back strain and has since been given the green light to resume baseball activities. The club has yet to provide a firm timeline for the 25-year-old, and it remains to be seen whether a rehab assignment will be required before activating Edwards from the IL.

Miami moved Edwards to the 10-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to May 15, due to a left mid-back strain.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards sat out both Friday and Saturday due to the back issue, and he's now going to need to rest for at least eight more days. In positive news for the Marlins, the team got another starting infielder back, as Otto Lopez (ankle) was activated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. While Edwards is sidelined, Javier Sanoja will likely handle shortstop duties, as he is Sunday versus Tampa Bay.

Edwards (back) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's contest due to back tightness and will take another day off to recover. Manager Clayton McCullough said Saturday that imaging on Edwards' back came back negative, per Craig Mish of the Miami Herald, so the team will have him do some baseball activities to see where he's at. In the meantime, Javier Sanoja will draw another start at shortstop as Ronny Simon mans second base.

Edwards was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays due to back tightness, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards has started all 42 games for the Marlins so far this season, but he'll be forced to the bench Friday due to the back issue. The 25-year-old should be considered day-to-day while Javier Sanoja steps in at shortstop for Miami.
