Tim Anderson News
The Miami Marlins placed shortstop Tim Anderson (back) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 11) on Monday with lower-back tightness and reinstated left-hander A.J. Puk (shoulder) in a corresponding move. Anderson will head to the shelf after missing the last two games with back tightness, but if his injury isn't that serious, he could come off the 10-day IL in just over a week. The 30-year-old former 17th overall pick of the Chicago White So in 2013 has fallen on hard times the last two years after being an All-Star in both 2021 and 2022. He hit .245/.286/.296 with only one homer in 2023 and is currently batting .197 (24-for-122) with no homers, six RBI and three steals in 36 games for the Fish. Until Anderson is able to return from his back ailment, Vidal Brujan is fully expected to take over as the team's regular shortstop.
Miami Marlins shortstop Tim Anderson (thumb), who was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to a mild left-thumb sprain that he suffered on Monday, is back at shortstop and is hitting sixth for the Fish on Thursday against the visiting Colorado Rockies and right-hander Peter Lambert. The 30-year-old veteran missed the last two games but is now back in there and is ready to go. After falling off a cliff in his final year with the Chicago White Sox in 2023, Anderson has continued to disappoint fantasy managers so far with a .221/.267/.253 slash line with no home runs, five RBI, three stolen bases and eight runs scored in the first month of the season. Hopefully, we start to see some signs of a turnaround from Anderson in May.
Miami Marlins shortstop Tim Anderson (thumb) has been scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the visiting Colorado Rockies as a precautionary measure due to a mild left-thumb sprain that he suffered in Monday's game. Vidal Brujan will get another start at the 6 for the Fish and will hit eighth in the batting order against Rockies right-hander Dakota Hudson. Anderson remains day-to-day and could be back as earlier as the series finale against the Rockies on Thursday. The 30-year-old two-time All-Star is still reeling from a terrible year in his final season in 2023 with the Chicago White Sox. He's gone 21-for-95 (.221) with no home runs, five RBI and three steals in his first 29 games for Miami. Brujan is a light-hitting switch-hitter who also hasn't homered in 2024 in 40 at-bats.

Former All-Star shortstop Tim Anderson signed a one-year deal with the Miami Marlins for $5 million to become their starter in 2024. Hypothetically, Anderson is trying to rebuild his career. The former White Sox is a two-time batting champion who had a forgettable 2023, hitting .245 with one home run, 25 RBI, and 13 stolen bases over 524 plate appearances. Anderson will get a fresh start in Miami, where he should slot in second behind Luis Arraez. Expect a return to double-digit home runs and steals, although his power numbers have dropped the last two seasons (six in 2022, one in 2023). This should be a volume play, and Anderson is worth a late-round dart throw in many leagues. ATC projects a .276 average with seven home runs and 15 stolen bases. With an NFBC ADP of 337, it will not cost you much to find out if Anderson can be a meaningful fantasy contributor again.
