Xavier Edwards of Miami Marlins Placed on 10-Day Injured List Due to Mid Back Strain, Expected Return in Late May

Xavier Edwards' absence will impact the Marlins' lineup, as he has been the regular starter at shortstop. In 42 games this season, he has maintained a batting average of .263 and has 11 stolen bases. His speed on the bases has been valuable, contributing to the team's dynamics in close games.

With Edwards sidelined, players like Otto Lopez and Javier Sanoja might see more time at shortstop. Edwards' return in late May is anticipated, and the Marlins will adjust their lineup in the meantime. The team will face the San Francisco Giants at home on May 30th, and adjustments will continue until Edwards is back.
