XAVIER EDWARDS NEWS

Not in Sunday's lineup Edwards is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Edwards will sit for a second consecutive game after being scratched from the lineup Saturday due to wrist discomfort. He'll have an extra day to recover thanks to Monday's team off day ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Colorado. Maximo Acosta is manning the keystone Sunday for Miami, opening up third base for Javier Sanoja.

Scratched from Saturday's lineup Edwards has been removed from Saturday's lineup due to right wrist discomfort, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact Edwards was initially penciled in as Miami's leadoff hitter and starter at second base, but he'll instead begin the contest on the bench. It's not clear if he may be available to enter later in the game. Miami should release an updated lineup shortly.

Snaps out of slump vs. Nats Edwards went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Nationals.

Impact The 26-year-old infielder snapped out of a recent slump in a big way, launching his third homer of the season, a 342-foot shot in the eighth inning that just cleared the glove of right fielder Dylan Crews. It marked Edwards' first three-hit game since Aug. 8, when he was hitting .303 and in the thick of the batting title race -- though his average has since dipped to .282. Edwards had been given a rest in the previous series against Philadelphia, and Wednesday's effort was an encouraging sign that he may be regaining his form at the plate.

Out of Saturday's lineup Edwards isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Quick ejection Monday Edwards was ejected from Monday's game versus the Nationals in the first inning for arguing balls and strikes, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Edwards' plate appearance to lead off the contest ended on a groundout to the catcher, and he evidently said some choice words to home plate umpire Brennan Miller to warrant a quick ejection from the game. Javier Sanoja took Edwards' spot at second base in the bottom of the first inning.
