Outlook Xavier Edwards
Xavier Edwards stays locked in as an elite contact and speed contributor for Miami
Edwards has kept his bat active for the Marlins, putting together a solid stretch over the last 30 days while hitting .273 with five stolen bases and 13 walks. The Marlins currently sit third in the National League East with a 55-54 record and are riding a three-game win streak. He remains firmly entrenched as the everyday second baseman in the starting lineup.
His recent performance lines up well with his overall baseline, matching our season projection of a .280 batting average and elite on-base skills. While his power output remains modest with just a few home runs, his ability to draw walks and consistently rack up singles provides a stable fantasy floor that isn't reliant on fluky power surges.
The Marlins face a busy seven-game week featuring an ongoing series away against the Mets. Edwards will see matchups against pitchers like Nolan McLean, who holds a 3.32 ERA and 1.11 WHIP, and Freddy Peralta, who presents a softer spot with a 4.93 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. With a full slate of games ahead and robust stolen base upside, he is a must-play option this week. Start.

Outlook Carson Benge
Carson Benge providing steady outfield depth for the Mets
Carson Benge continues to settle into his role as a key depth option in the outfield for a New York Mets squad currently looking to climb the standings. While specific recent trends are light, he remains locked into a supportive role on the active roster and avoids any major injury concerns as the summer grind continues.
His underlying performance tracks closely with our baseline expectations for his rookie campaign, reflecting a player still adjusting to major league pitching. While the power and speed numbers remain modest right now, his overall approach at the plate suggests he can maintain a steady floor for deeper fantasy formats without experiencing severe regression.
The Mets face a favorable stretch of upcoming games this week that should offer Benge a handful of opportunities to contribute. While you should monitor late-week matchups and opposing pitching staffs carefully before locking him into starting fantasy lineups, he makes for a solid stash or situational play. Hold.
