Xavier Edwards Placed on 10-Day Injured List Due to Mid Back Strain

Xavier Edwards has been a consistent presence for the Miami Marlins this season, starting all 42 games and hitting .263. His absence will impact the lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays on May 18, 2025, at loanDepot Park. Javier Sanoja, listed as the backup shortstop, might see increased playing time during Edwards' recovery.

Edwards has dealt with back issues before, being day-to-day with back tightness just days prior. This injury places more responsibility on other players like Kyle Stowers and Agustín Ramírez, who have been productive in the lineup. Edwards' ability to steal bases, with 11 stolen bases this season, will also be missed during his time out.
