Xavier Edwards to Play in a Couple Rehab Games
Xavier Edwards (back) will play in a couple of minor-league rehab games at Triple-A Jacksonville before returning from the 10-day injured list. "Get him back very soon" manager Clayton McCullough said. Edwards will play shortstop when he returns, with Otto Lopez returning to second base. The 25-year-old speedster has been out since May 14 with a back strain, but he could return this weekend against the San Francisco Giants or early next week in a series versus the visiting Colorado Rockies. He hasn't been nearly as good so far in 2025 as he was last year, when he hit .328 (87-for-265) with 31 stolen bases in 70 games played. In 42 games before his back injury, Edwards was slashing .263/.337/.292 with no homers, 11 RBI, 11 steals and 18 runs scored in 194 trips to the plate. There's no power here, but Edwards is worth rostering for his speed alone.
