Miami Marlins shortstop Xavier Edwards (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday due to left mid-back strain. This move was retroactive to May 15. The Marlins activated infielder Otto Lopez (ankle) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Edwards has been held out of the starting nine for each of the past two games and will now miss at least the next week of action. Prior to his injury, Edwards was beginning to heat up at the plate, posting a .313/.389/.313 slash line with three stolen bases over his last nine contests. Through 42 total games this season, the 25-year-old has posted a .263/.337/.292 slash line with 11 swiped bags. While Edwards remains out of action, fantasy managers should expect Javier Sanoja to see most of the opportunities at shortstop.

Kansas City Royals infielder/outfielder Jonathan India (knee) was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to knee soreness. Jaylon T. Thompson of The KC Star noted that India is currently considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next game on Monday evening against the San Francisco Giants. Over his last nine games, India has been performing quite well, posting a .270/.325/.351 slash line with three doubles, five RBI, with a 3:2 K:BB. This afternoon, Michael Massey will cover the keystone for India instead. Through his first 43 games in Kansas City, India holds a modest .238/.330/.311 line, but his recent production suggests he is beginning to turn the corner on his slow start. If he were to miss more time, Massey should have close to an everyday role in the starting nine at second base, and Drew Waters should see more time in left field.


San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Matos (shoulder) is back in action on Sunday when the Giants face the Athletics. Matos was initially scratched from Friday's lineup due to shoulder discomfort. Matos was also held out of action on Saturday. However, the 23-year-old was able to appear in the final game of their series against the Athletics. This afternoon, the young outfielder is slated to cover right field and bat in the six-hole. Through his first 20 games of the campaign, Matos has gotten off to a slow start, holding a .167/.219/.350 line. He has gone deep three times and swiped one bag. Under the hood, he has generated a low .289 xwOBA. This afternoon, Matos is worth considering in DFS as a value play facing Athletics southpaw Jeffrey Springs, who has posted a modest 4.27 ERA this season.


The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) off the 10-day injured list. In addition, Edman is slated to cover center field and will bat in the six-hole during their series finale against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday afternoon. Edman has been held out of action since the end of April due to an ankle injury. During the opening month of the campaign, Edman was enjoying an impressive start to the campaign, posting a .252/.294/.523 slash line with eight home runs and two stolen bases. Under the hood, Edman generated an impressive .399 xwOBA and a .312 xBA, which are both well above the average marks. Given his placement in a potent lineup and five-category upside, he should be started in all standard formats going forward.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have designated infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor for assignment. Taylor has been with the Dodgers since the 2016 campaign. Through the opening part of the 2025 campaign, Taylor has gotten off to a slow start, holding a .200 AVG across 28 games. Taylor tallied just two doubles, with no home runs. He struck out at a high 37.1% rate and did not draw a walk. Last season, Taylor struggled at the plate too, posting a modest .202/.298/.300 slash line with just seven doubles and four round-trippers across 87 contests. Taylor enjoyed his best season during the 2017 campaign, tallying 34 doubles, 21 home runs, and swiping 17 bags. Given his ability to play multiple positions, the 34-year-old could draw interest on waivers. However, given his slow start, he should remain on waivers in all formats.
