Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Swats second homer of season
Rotowire
Edwards went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during the Marlins' 4-0 win over the Phillies on Saturday.
Edwards extended the Marlins' lead to 3-0 after smacking a solo homer off Andrew Painter in the fifth inning. It was Edwards' second home run of the season, with his first taking place April 3 against the Mets. He has reached base safely in eight consecutive games, and over that span he has gone 10-for-28 (.357) with two steals, six walks and four RBI.
Edwards went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 9-4 win over the Giants.
Edwards saw a six-game hitting streak end Wednesday against the Cardinals, but he bounced back well. The steal was his first since April 5. The second baseman logged 27 steals on 34 attempts across 139 games in 2025, but he's just 3-for-4 on the basepaths over 26 contests in 2026. Edwards has made up for the lack of running with reliable hitting -- he's batting .347 with a .909 OPS, one home run, eight RBI, 19 runs scored, six doubles and two triples across 113 plate appearances. There's not a lot of power in his swing, but he has strong plate discipline and the potential to make a larger impact with his speed as the season progresses.

Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Gaining momentum ahead of opener
Rotowire
Edwards is batting .194 (7-for-36) in 14 games this spring with a 4:5 BB:K and three stolen bases in four attempts.

The 26-year-old switch hitter doesn't offer any power, but since making his big-league debut in 2023 he's been a strong leadoff option, batting .298 for the Marlins with a .358 OBP and 63 steals in 239 contests.
