Interestingly, will play second base on Thursday, and “Miami plans for him to move there and keep Otto Lopez at shortstop when Edwards is reinstated from the IL.” Edwards has a -6 Outs Above Average this season at shortstop and was -10 last year, so this seems to be the right move.

Edwards hit the injured list back in mid-May with a back strain. There’s no timetable for his return at the moment, but it’s a positive update that he’s making some recent progress. The 25-year-old speedster should rejoin Miami’s nucleus at some point in June.

Not great. No word yet on how much time Edwards figures to miss, but back issues can be extremely complicated matters. Marlins manager Clayton McCullough told reporters earlier this weekend that precautionary imaging didn’t reveal any structural issues, so the hope here for fantasy managers is that he’s dealing with a mild strain. The 25-year-old speedster’s absence creates an opportunity for rookie Javier Sanoja to continue playing shortstop in his absence.

The 25-year-old speedster is considered day-to-day for the time being. Javier Sanoja will replace him at shortstop while Jesus Sanchez slides up to the team’s leadoff spot for their battle against Taj Bradley and the Rays on Friday night.

Edwards can be difficult to evaluate from a fantasy perspective. On one hand, he’s scored 18 runs and has 11 stolen bases this season, which is what his fantasy managers were looking for from him when they drafted him. He also has 11 RBI. On the other hand, he’s hitting just .259 with no power whatsoever. Edwards now has just one home run and a .066 ISO 139 career MLB games. Speed is certainly important in fantasy and Edwards could push for 50 steals this year, but his .328 average in 70 games last year looks like a fluke and he might just be a one or two category player this year.

Edwards’ stolen base gives him six on the season and only the Pirates’ Oneil Cruz has more. The 25-year-old shortstop has hits in nine of his last 10 games. The Marlins’ leadoff man is hitting .310 with a .768 OPS and five RBI on the year. Edwards previously mentioned 60-plus steals as a goal this year so it’s unlikely he’ll slow down on the bases anytime soon.
