Edwards Injury Threatens Marlins Playoff Push | MLB News

Marlins’ star second baseman Xavier Edwards limped off the field Sunday with a suspected left thumb sprain after a brutal collision at second base — a cruel twist for a team clinging to playoff hopes. Though Edwards insists he’s fine, the injury threatens his availability and could force a roster shuffle, with Leo Jimenez likely stepping in. Edwards has been vital this season with 20 steals and solid all-around play, even if his bat’s cooled lately. The Marlins pulled off a dramatic 6-2 win in the ninth, pushing them back over .500 and within striking distance of the final NL wild card spot — but losing Edwards could be the blow they can’t afford.
