Xavier Edwards Exits Early Against Padres with Hand Injury

Xavier Edwards was forced to leave Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres in the seventh inning after suffering an apparent left hand injury. The Miami Marlins second baseman was struck by a foul ball during his plate appearance in the top of the seventh frame; though he initially remained in the game, he was replaced defensively the following half-inning. Edwards had recently returned from a left thumb sprain, raising concerns that he may have re-aggravated the prior issue.
