Xavier Edwards (thumb) is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Cubs.

Edwards takes a seat for the second straight contest after exiting Saturday’s game against the Padres with left thumb discomfort. The fact that he hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet qualifies as an encouraging development. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day heading into the final week of the season. It’ll be Jared Serna at second base in his absence.
