2024 Fantasy Outlook
Edwards made his MLB debut in May but didn't receive notable playing time until he was recalled by Miami in September. In total he accrued just 84 plate appearances but showcased his contact and speed potential with a .295 average, 16.7 percent strikeout rate and five steals. He delivered an impressive campaign at Triple-A Jacksonville with seven homers, 32 steals and a .349/.427/.454 slash line, which was a marked improvement on his Double-A performance in 2022. The 24-year-old isn't likely to have a starting job Opening Day in 2024, but he should be able to make the roster out of spring training. Edwards offers fantasy managers speed and a potentially high average, but he'll need to have a regular role in order to be a feasible option. Read Past Outlooks

Moves to injured list
The Marlins placed Edwards on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left foot infection.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old dealt with some foot inflammation in mid-March and was initially expected back in the lineup within a few days, but he's since been diagnosed with an infection. According to MLB.com, Edwards was able to hit on the back fields of camp at the tail end of spring training, so he could be ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment soon.

How does Xavier Edwards compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

With rosters expanding, Jan Levine has picked out a few players who could instantly help your fantasy squads.
In this week's edition, Jan Levine profiles a couple NL pitchers who are in line for more playing time.
Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
A supplemental first-round pick in 2018, Edwards was considered the fastest player in his draft class at the time. There were questions about his bat, however, in particular about the pop. Those concerns have been validated as Edwards has struggled to hit for even gap power in the professional ranks. This past season saw an improvement in that area -- Edwards cracked a .100 ISO for the first time at any pro stop -- but he had to add a lot of swing and miss (18.8 K%) to get the modest bump. Edwards has been traded twice already, which is not a good sign. The Marlins figure to give Edwards his first look in the majors in 2023 since he's on the 40-man roster, but he will likely begin the season back at Triple-A barring multiple injuries in front of him. Ideally, the infielder will trim his strikeout rate back down while tapping into even more extra-base power. Until Edwards shows he can hold his own upper-level pitching, he should be considered a speed-only play.
