Imaging on Edwards' lower back came back negative Saturday, and he's considered day-to-day, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Edwards was removed from Friday's game against the Cubs due to a lower-back injury he sustained while attempting to steal a base. Considering Saturday's testing didn't reveal any significant injury, Edwards shouldn't miss more than a few games -- if he misses time at all. The Marlins close out a home series against the Cubs on Sunday before heading out on a seven-game road trip.

McCoy is batting ninth and playing shortstop Saturday against the Mets.

Saturday's contest will be McCoy's third consecutive start at shortstop, as he's seemingly supplanted Tyler Wade as the Padres' replacement for Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder). Since being called up Wednesday, McCoy is 3-for-8 with two runs and an RBI.

Edwards is receiving imaging on his lower back this weekend, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Edwards left in the third inning of Friday's game against the Cubs after sustaining a lower-back injury during a steal attempt in the second frame. The results of the imaging will determine whether Edwards will need a stint on the IL or just a few days of rest. The 25-year-old is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak and is slashing .349/.428/.436 with 22 stolen bases, 25 runs scored, one home run and 17 RBI across 202 plate appearances this season. In the interim, Vidal Brujan will see more playing time at shortstop for as long as Edwards is sidelined.

Edwards (back) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Edwards left in the third inning of Friday's game due to lower-back discomfort that he experienced when stealing second base. Vidal Brujan will start at shortstop Saturday and bat eighth against Cubs southpaw Shota Imanaga.

Edwards was removed from Friday's game against the Cubs due to lower-back discomfort, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Edwards singled during his lone at-bat Friday and then stole second base, but he was replaced at shortstop once the Marlins took the field in the third inning. The severity of his back injury remains unknown, though Vidal Brujan would presumably take over as Miami's starting shortstop if Edwards is unable to play Saturday.

Rojas (hamstring) is starting at shortstop and batting seventh in Friday's game against Tampa Bay.

Rojas was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against Seattle due to a left hamstring injury. The Dodgers' day off Thursday seems to have done the trick, and the 35-year-old will return to action after a one-game absence. Since being reinstated from the injured list Aug. 7, Rojas has gone 13-for-38 with five runs scored, two stolen bases and five RBI.

The Cubs recalled Vazquez from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Ryan Herrera of AllCHGO.com reports.

Vazquez will relace David Bote -- who was designated for assignment -- on the Cubs' 26-man roster. The 24-year-old Vazquez appeared in a pair of big-league games at the end of May before returning to Iowa, slashing .263/.327/.484 across 105 plate appearances since. The infielder could mix in at second base, third base or shortstop as needed.

Abrams is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Atlanta has southpaw Chris Sale on the mound, so the Nationals are choosing to give the left-handed hitting Abrams a rare day off. Nasim Nunez will handle shortstop duties Friday.

The Cubs are expected to recall Vazquez from Triple-A Iowa, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Vazquez, 24, was up briefly with the Cubs earlier this season, striking out in his lone plate appearance. He's slashed .263/.347/.432 with eight homers at Iowa this season and boasts a 1.095 OPS in seven games this month after returning from an undisclosed injury. Vazquez is primarily a shortstop but also has played second and third base. It's not clear whose roster spot he will be taking.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 10-2 win over the Tigers. He also stole two bases.

Swanson was active in the easy win as he notched his first game this season with multiple stolen bases. The shortstop's overall production is down from last year, though he does have 12 steals, which is up from eight in 2023. Swanson's career high in the category is 18, set in 2022 when he played for Atlanta.
