2024 Projections
Pitching well this spring
Edwards, who tossed a scoreless inning of relief with a strikeout in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Rockies, has a 0.00 ERA across four spring appearances.
ANALYSIS
Edwards last pitched for the Cubs in 2019, and he was a valuable member of the bullpen for the 2016 World Series winning squad. The righty has bounced around a bit in recent years, but he has a chance to settle into a middle-relief spot with Chicago in 2024. Edwards likely won't have a ton of fantasy value in that role, however.

Injuries have been a constant throughout Edwards' career, but he was finally able to stay healthy in 2022. The 31-year-old signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals last spring and was recalled in early May. Edwards put up a 2.76 ERA (4.24 FIP) and 1.23 WHIP across 62 innings (his most since 2017). The right-hander earned six wins, 13 holds and two saves as one of Washington's more trusted relievers. He boasted a 47.7% groundball rate, but both his strikeout (21.9%) and walk (9.8%) rates were below average and his 3.31 xERA suggests a more likely ratio outcome. There's not much in Edwards' profile to suggest a breakout is coming. Combine that with his injury history and you can leave him for NL-only formats.
