Xavier Edwards Activated And Starting On Tuesday
2 months agoThe Miami Marlins activated infielder Xavier Edwards (back) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. In a series of other moves, the team recalled right-hander Anthony Maldonado from Triple-A Jacksonville, claimed right-hander Lake Bachar off waivers from the San Diego Padres, claimed left-hander Anthony Veneziano off waivers from the Kansas City Royals, activated left-hander Josh Simpson (elbow) from the 60-day IL and optioned him to Jacksonville, and designated catcher Ali Sanchez, left-hander Kent Emanuel and right-hander Emmanuel Ramirez for assignment. Edwards, who injured his back on Aug. 23, is back at shortstop and batting leadoff on Tuesday against Washington Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin. Fantasy managers will want to get the 25-year-old switch-hitter back in their lineups after he's hit .349/.428/.436 with 17 RBI and 22 steals in only 172 at-bats this year.
