Rotowire
Edwards (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game versus Atlanta.
It's the fifth straight absence for Edwards, who aggravated his left thumb injury last week.

Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Remains out of lineup
Rotowire
Edwards (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Cubs.
It marks the fourth consecutive absence for Edwards, who is recovering from left thumb discomfort. It's an aggravation of an injury that caused him to miss the first couple weeks of September, so it's no guarantee Edwards will come back to play this season. Jared Serna will cover second back for the Marlins on Thursday.

Marlins' Xavier Edwards: On bench Sunday
Rotowire
Edwards (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Edwards departed Saturday's game due to discomfort in his left thumb, which was initially checked out after he hit a foul ball. The 27-year-old returned from the injured list last weekend after missing two weeks due to a sprain in the same thumb, so he may have aggravated the injury. Javier Sanoja will shift to second base while Graham Pauley starts at the hot corner.

Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Leaves early Saturday
Rotowire
Edwards left Saturday's game against the Padres in the seventh inning with left thumb discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Edwards was checked out by a trainer after a foul ball during his plate appearance in the top of the seventh, and while he stayed in the game initially, the second baseman was replaced on defense the next half-inning. He just recently returned from a left thumb sprain, and De Nicola speculates Edwards might have aggravated that injury.

Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Beginning to ramp up
Rotowire

The infielder injured his thumb while applying a tag at second base Aug. 30, but Edwards avoided any structural damage and is dealing with a sprain. The Marlins remain optimistic he'll be back in the lineup in mid-September, and he could progress quickly once the inflammation in his thumb subsides.

Rotowire
The Marlins placed Edwards on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left thumb sprain.

Rotowire
Edwards went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Nationals.

The second baseman kicked the Marlins' offense into gear with a two-run double in the third inning as he tied his season high in RBI. Remarkably, it was the first time Edwards had scored multiple runs in a game since June 30 -- coming into Saturday, he'd crossed the plate only four times in his last 31 contests despite consistently hitting in the top half of the lineup. On the season, Edwards sports a .287/.367/.394 slash line with six homers, 18 steals, 44 RBI and 54 runs in 429 plate appearances.
