Miami Marlins infielder Xavier Edwards kept his hitting streak alive during Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. Edwards singled in this one and extended his hitting streak to six games. He would show off his wheels as well with two steals during Saturday's win. Edwards finished the day 2-for-4 with two steals and two runs scored. He should be rostered in most fantasy formats right now as he's doing good things at the top of the lineup.

Miami Marlins shortstop Xavier Edwards (knee) is back at shortstop and is hitting leadoff for the Fish in Monday's series opener at Citi Field against the division-rival New York Mets and right-hander Kodai Senga. Edwards was scratched from the lineup on Sunday against the division-rival Atlanta Braves due to right-knee soreness, but that contest was eventually postponed due to inclement weather. The 25-year-old won't have to miss any games now that he's back in action for the series opener in Queens. The switch-hitting speedster has started his 2025 season by going 9-for-36 (.250) at the plate with three doubles, three RBI, two stolen bases, four runs scored, four walks and 10 strikeouts in nine games played. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their starting lineups. Edwards is hitting .143 in just seven career at-bats versus Senga.

Miami Marlins shortstop Xavier Edwards (knee) is a late scratch on Sunday due to right knee soreness. Christine De Nicola of MLB.com reported that Edwards initially suffered this injury during the second game of the season and reaggravated it on Saturday. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status leading up to their next game on Monday evening against the New York Mets. Instead, the Marlins will turn to Javier Sanoja to serve as their shortstop. He will bat ninth. Through the first nine games of the regular season, Edwards has posted a .250/.317/.333 slash line with three doubles, a 4:10 BB:K, and two stolen bases. He enjoyed an impressive finish to the 2024 season, swiping 31 bags with a .328 AVG across 70 contests. Sanoja is not worth targeting in DFS facing Atlanta right-hander Grant Holmes.
