Player Outlook
Tim Anderson began the season as the Marlins regular shortstop. After a decent start, Anderson performed even worse than the previous season, which was the nadir of his career. He was released in early July then failed to latch on with another organization. Anderson's Hard-Hit rate and exit velocity have been declining while his strikeout rate is rising. A 15.2 percent fly ball rate squashed any semblance or power. The Angels signed Anderson to a minor league deal, ostensibly as a reserve middle infielder. Anderson his .301 just three years ago, but there is nothing in his performance since 2022 indicating a rebound is forthcoming.

  • Angels' Tim Anderson: Could start at second base

    Rotowire
    Anderson might be the Angels' Opening Day starter at second base due to Yoan Moncada (thumb) being a question mark for the beginning of the season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Moncada may be destined for the IL due to a thumb injury, which would likely mean that Luis Rengifo will become the starter at the hot corner at the beginning of the campaign. That could open up the second-base job for Anderson, who has been getting some reps at the keystone this spring despite playing only two regular-season games there to this point in his nine years in the big leagues. If the second-base role does become available, Christian Moore and Scott Kingery, among others, could also be candidates for the position, but Anderson has done enough this spring to have his name called, as he's slashing .243/.300/.351 with a home run and two stolen bases over 40 plate appearances.

  • Angels' Tim Anderson: Making start in center field

    Rotowire
    Anderson is starting in center field and batting seventh in Wednesday's Cactus League game versus the Dodgers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Anderson has never played an inning in the outfield in pro ball but is attempting to add to his versatility this spring in an effort to make the Angels' Opening Day roster. The two-time All-Star is also competing for reps at shortstop and second base.

  • Angels' Tim Anderson: Will get some reps in outfield

    Rotowire
    Angels manager Ron Washington said Monday that Anderson will see some action in the outfield later this spring, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports. Anderson's main focus will be competing for time at shortstop, where the Angels will likely need a fill-in for the injured Zach Neto (shoulder) for a bit. However, it appears the 31-year-old will also attempt to add to his versatility with some reps in the outfield. Anderson started two games at second base for the White Sox in 2023, which is the only time he's ever played a position other than shortstop.

  • Angels' Tim Anderson: Chance to be Opening Day shortstop

    Rotowire
    Anderson will compete to be the Angels' Opening Day shortstop while Zach Neto (shoulder) is sidelined, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. It's not yet clear how much time Neto might miss, but a stint on the injured list to begin the season is expected. Anderson was inked to a minor-league contract in January and will compete with Kevin Newman, Scott Kingery and Kyren Paris to be the placeholder at shortstop. While Anderson is the only one of the four competitors not on a major-league deal, Bollinger has projected him to win the shortstop gig. That said, given Anderson's woeful .235/.271/.274 batting line over the last two seasons, he will have much to prove this spring before he's handed a roster spot.

  • Angels' Tim Anderson: Added by Halos on MiLB deal

    Rotowire
    The Angels signed Anderson to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. While Nightengale doesn't denote it, Anderson surely received an invitation to spring training, where he'll attempt to win a spot on the Angels' Opening Day roster. Anderson was released by the Marlins last July after managing just a .214/.237/.226 batting line in 65 games. The former batting champ is just 31 but has slashed only .235/.271/.274 with one home run across 188 contests since the start of the 2023 season. With Zach Neto (shoulder) a question mark for Opening Day, the Angels could be looking for someone to fill in at shortstop for a while. However, whether Anderson has anything left is very much in question.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Designated for assignment

    Rotowire
    The Marlins designated Anderson for assignment Tuesday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports. Miami giving Anderson a modest one-year, $5 million contract in hopes that he could have a bounce-back season seemed like a no-brainer. The rebound didn't come, as Anderson slashed a hideous .214/.237/.226 with no home runs and a 68:7 K:BB over 65 games. He will clear waivers and eventually be released, at which point another club could take a chance on him at the prorated veteran minimum salary. It's no given that Anderson will receive that opportunity, however, considering his .544 OPS since the start of the 2023 campaign. Vidal Brujan could get a shot at shortstop for the Marlins with Anderson out of the picture, with Xavier Edwards also potentially in the mix.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Resting for day game

    Rotowire
    Anderson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals. The veteran shortstop will take a seat Wednesday while the Marlins wrap up their series in Kansas City with a day game after a night game. Vidal Brujan will step in as the Marlins' starting shortstop in Anderson's stead.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Getting Sunday off

    Rotowire
    Anderson isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Sunday's game versus Seattle. After going 0-for-3 on Saturday to end his brief five-game hitting streak, Anderson will get a breather during Sunday's series finale. Vidal Brujan will fill the opening at shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Walks it off Friday

    Rotowire
    Anderson went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's extra-inning win over the Mariners. The veteran shortstop ripped a walk-off single into left field off Austin Voth in the bottom of the 10th inning, although the Marlins got a bit lucky when Cal Raleigh couldn't come up with the throw to the plate, allowing Jake Burger to score. Anderson has been red hot of late, batting .405 (17-for-42) with seven multi-hit performances in the last 10 games, but he still carries a feeble .232/.257/.246 slash line on the season.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Swipes fourth bag

    Rotowire
    Anderson went 2-for-5 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-8 extra-inning win over the Cardinals. Since missing a few games earlier this month while on the bereavement list, Anderson has caught fire and is looking more like the player who batted over .300 in four straight seasons for the White Sox. The 30-year-old shortstop has delivered multiple hits in six of the last eight games, ringing up a .412 batting average (14-for-34) over that stretch, although none of those hits went for extra bases. Despite the surge, he sports a poor .226/.252/.241 slash line on the season with four steals, eight RBI and 15 runs in 56 contests. Anderson is still looking for his first homer in a Marlins uniform.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Returns from bereavement list

    Rotowire
    The Marlins activated Anderson (personal) from the bereavement list Monday. Anderson missed the weekend series against the Guardians but will be back in action as the Marlins travel to New York to play the Mets beginning Tuesday. With a .188/.221/.206 slash line, Anderson has been one of the worst-hitting regulars in baseball this season.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: On bereavement list

    Rotowire
    Anderson was placed on the bereavement list Friday. Anderson will be away from the team as he tends to personal matters. While he's absent, Vidal Brujan and the recently promoted Xavier Edwards should handle the work at shortstop. Anderson is slashing just .188/.221/.206 in 172 plate appearances this season.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Officially reinstated

    Rotowire
    Anderson (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Anderson will be available for Tuesday's game against the Brewers after missing exactly 10 days with back soreness. In two rehab starts, Anderson went 4-for-9 with a two-run home run and four additional runs scored, possibly a sign of encouragement for fantasy managers after Anderson started the MLB season batting .197 with a 29.7 percent strikeout rate.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Will be activated Tuesday

    Rotowire
    The Marlins will activate Anderson (back) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's contest against the Brewers, Isaac Azout of SBNation.com reports. Anderson will have missed just the minimum 10 days while dealing with lower-back tightness. He played in two rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville, going 4-for-9 with a home run. Anderson has shown no signs of figuring things out at the plate with the Marlins, however, as he will return to a woeful .197/.234/.221 batting line with a 29.7 percent strikeout rate.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Rotowire
    Anderson (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Anderson will play for Jacksonville on Saturday and Sunday before being reevaluated. He is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and it would appear he's in line to return at that time. Anderson has been battling lower-back tightness, which could at least partially explain his .197/.234/.221 slash line on the season.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Placed on IL with back injury

    Rotowire
    The Marlins placed Anderson on the 10-day injured list Monday with lower-back tightness. Anderson had missed the previous two games with the injury and evidently didn't show enough progress to avoid a stint on the IL. Because the move is backdated to Saturday, Anderson will be eligible to return from the IL in just over a week. However, it's unclear whether he'll be ready to rejoin the Miami lineup by then. Vidal Brujan is expected to serve as the Marlins' everyday shortstop while Anderson is on the shelf.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Held out again Monday

    Rotowire
    Anderson (back) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Tigers. Anderson is battling lower-back tightness and will miss a third straight start. The Marlins haven't indicated that a stint on the injured list might be required for Anderson, but the odds certainly increase the more time he misses. Vidal Brujan will again handle shortstop in Anderson's place while Otto Lopez covers second base.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Out again Sunday

    Rotowire
    Anderson (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. He'll be on the bench for a second straight game and remains day-to-day with lower-back tightness. Vidal Brujan will move over from second base to replace Anderson at shortstop.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Scratched with back tightness

    Rotowire
    Anderson was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Phillies with lower-back tightness, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. Vidal Brujan will shift to shortstop while Otto Lopez enters the lineup at second base.

  • Marlins' Tim Anderson: Sits out Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Anderson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Anderson appears to be getting a routine day off while he's accumulated just one hit over his last four games. Vidal Brujan will slide over from second base to replace Anderson at shortstop.
