Edwards (back) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Edwards left in the third inning of Friday's game due to lower-back discomfort that he experienced when stealing second base. Vidal Brujan will start at shortstop Saturday and bat eighth against Cubs southpaw Shota Imanaga.

Edwards was removed from Friday's game against the Cubs due to lower-back discomfort, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edwards singled during his lone at-bat Friday and then stole second base, but he was replaced at shortstop once the Marlins took the field in the third inning. The severity of his back injury remains unknown, though Vidal Brujan would presumably take over as Miami's starting shortstop if Edwards is unable to play Saturday.

Edwards went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Edwards continues to dominate on the basepaths, notching his eighth theft over his past seven games. The 25-year-old rookie only has one extra-base hit during that span, but his lofty .441 OBP has given him plenty of baserunning opportunities. Edwards is up to 21 steals in 23 attempts this season, slashing .350/.435/.427 with 24 runs scored and an impressive 26:29 BB:K in 43 games.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
