Edwards went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's win over the Reds. The 24-year-old switch hitter, acquired from the Rays in Nov. 2022, appears to be solidifying his spot as the Marlins' shortstop of both the present and the future. Edwards has multiple hits in six of the last eight games, batting .448 (13-for-29) over that stretch with two doubles, two RBI, three steals, four runs and a 4:3 BB:K. Manager Skip Schumaker has mainly had Edwards hitting fifth or lower since his promotion at the beginning of the month, but his skill set would seem very well suited for the top of the batting order.

Scott allowed two walks over 1.1 scoreless innings and earned a save against the Reds on Sunday. He struck out two batters. Scott faced a two-on, two-out situation in the ninth inning but struck out Edwin Rios to close out the 3-2 win. He's riding a 12.1-inning scoreless streak while converting six straight save chances. He's now 14 for 16 in save opportunities with a stellar 1.34 ERA through 39 appearances.
Rogers allowed two runs on two hits and three walks over 5.2 innings in a no-decision Sunday. He struck out four during the win over the Reds. Rogers worked through five shutout frames before coughing up a two-run homer to Elly De La Cruz in the sixth. It was Rogers' second straight start allowing two runs but failing to complete the sixth inning. He's 0-3 over his last 10 starts and hasn't earned a win since May 15. Despite that, he's settled into a groove recently; Rogers has produced a 3.29 ERA over 38.1 frames in his last seven outings. He enters the All-Star break with a 4.72 ERA and a 79:44 K:BB through 19 starts.
Myers suffered a fractured left ankle kicking the clubhouse door Saturday and will miss 6-to-8 weeks, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports. The righty-hitting outfielder was slashing .265/.337/.422 with two home runs and four steals in 95 plate appearances. Myers had been mostly limited to starts against left-handed pitchers this season, and the injury explains his absence from Sunday's matchup against lefty Nick Lodolo.
Myers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. Myers looked to be moving into a full-time role last week, but he now finds himself on the bench for the fourth time in six contests. The right-handed-hitting Myers had previously occupied the short side of a platoon in right field with the lefty-hitting Jesus Sanchez, but the Marlins will keep Sanchez in the lineup over Myers while southpaw Nick Lodolo takes the hill for the Reds on Sunday.
Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. Sanchez will hit the bench for the second game in a row after he was behind the dish for Friday's 7-4 loss in the series opener, finishing with two hits and an RBI across four at-bats. He's slashing .250/.323/.250 in 32 plate appearances over 10 games since being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on June 21 and has been operating as the No. 2 option at catcher behind Nick Fortes.
Chisholm will bat leadoff and start at second base in Sunday's game against Cincinnati. Chisholm will be making his first start at second base since 2022. The 26-year-old came into the league as a second baseman before transitioning to center field in 2023, so he has plenty of previous experience at the position. Vidal Brujan, who has been logging semi-regular starts at second base, is trading off with Chisholm and will cover center field Sunday.
Burger went 4-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-6 loss to the Reds. Burger and Josh Bell went back-to-back against lefty Andrew Abbott in the third inning. It was Burger's 10th home run this season, and he would go on to add three singles in his next three plate appearances. The 28-year-old Burger is batting just .225 with a .633 OPS this season, but his power and locked-in playing time keep him relevant.
