Miami Marlins shortstop Tim Anderson (illness) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. It will be the third straight missed game for Anderson, although he is still considered day-to-day. In his absence, Vidal Brujan will get another start and bat eighth for the Marlins. The 26-year-old is just 1-for-18 at the plate this season and can be avoided in all formats while Anderson is shelved.

Miami Marlins shortstop Tim Anderson (illness) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He also missed Friday's contest against the Braves and remains under the weather. The 30-year-old is considered day-to-day, with the series finale on Sunday being the next chance for him to return to the lineup. Anderson is slashing .280/.308/.300 with a double, two stolen bases, and four runs scored over 13 games this season. Vidal Brujan will replace Anderson again at shortstop and is batting ninth in Saturday's game. Brujan has not logged a hit over 16 plate appearances this season, and fantasy managers can avoid using him as a streamer in most leagues.

Miami Marlins shortstop Tim Anderson (illness) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. According to Marlins manager Skip Schumaker, Anderson is sick, so it was better for him to take the day off. He is considered day-to-day. The 30-year-old has started all 13 games for the Marlins, slashing .280/.308/.300 with an RBI, four runs, and two stolen bases over 52 plate appearances. Vidal Brujan is batting ninth and will handle shortstop duties while Anderson is rested. Brujan has yet to record a hit in 13 plate appearances over seven games this season and can be avoided as a streamer and a DFS play for Friday's main slate.

Miami Marlins shortstop Tim Anderson hit his first home run of the spring in Monday's 1-0 Grapefruit League win over the Mets. Anderson hit a second-inning fastball from Tylor Megill over the right-field fence for the only run of the game. The 30-year-old is hitting .211 with no stolen bases in 19 spring at-bats. He will be looking to start anew with the Marlins, as injuries and poor performance stymied his fantasy value over the past several seasons with the White Sox.

Miami Marlins shortstop Tim Anderson, who signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the team this week, said his left knee is "healthy" and ready to go for the 2024 season. Anderson's left-knee sprain contributed heavily to his struggles in 2023, in which he hit just one home run while delivering a .582 OPS, the lowest among all qualified hitters. The 30-year-old hasn't played in more than 123 games in a season since 2019 due to injuries, which makes him a pretty big injury risk as he tries to bounce back from a dreadful season. His sprint speed, which has been well above-average for the bulk of his eight-year career, fell to the 46th percentile last year. But if the former first-rounder can regain even a fraction of his old form -- he was the only player in the majors to hit .300 or better in each season from 2019-22 -- fantasy managers will have a steal on their hands.

Free-agent shortstop Tim Anderson and the Miami Marlins agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal, pending a physical, on Thursday, according to sources. After a disastrous year with the Chicago White Sox in 2023, Anderson had to settle for a one-year, prove-it deal in order to try and get his value back up in South Beach. The hitting environment won't be the best for the 30-year-old in Miami, but he'll be guaranteed regular playing time as the Fish's primary shortstop. Anderson slashed a weak .245/.286/.296 with only one home run in 2023, but prior to that, he had posted a .318/.347/.474 slash line the previous four years in Chicago and could easily bounce back if he can stay healthy in 2024. The move to sign Anderson will move Jon Berti to a utility infield role in Miami.

The Miami Marlins have offered free-agent shortstop Tim Anderson a contract to be their primary shortstop, according to a source. The 30-year-old has made all but two of his major-league starts at shortstop, but he played at second base in last year's World Baseball Classic. The two-time All-Star had a terrible .582 OPS with just one home run in 123 games for the Chicago White Sox last year, which has made his free-agent market almost non-existent this winter. It's looking more likely that Anderson is going to have to accept a one-year, prove-it deal to get his value back up heading into 2025, and Miami may be the place to do it. Currently, Jon Berti is Miami's projected starter at the 6 in 2024. Coming off his terrible 2023 campaign, Anderson is ranked as the No. 32 fantasy shortstop at RotoBaller.

The Miami Marlins recently made an offer to free-agent shortstop Tim Anderson as they continue their search for an everyday shortstop, according to sources briefed on the discussions. The 30-year-old Anderson declined markedly in 2023. In his eight seasons with the Chicago White Sox, he was a former batting champion and two-time All-Star. The Marlins could give him a chance to restore his value. They currently have 34-year-old utility man Jon Berti as their leading option at the 6 in 2024. Miami has also been in discussions with free agent Gio Urshela about a utility role. Anderson was never the same last year after suffering a sprained left knee that landed him on the injured list from April 11 to May 2, and he finished with a .245 average, one home run and a .582 OPS, all career-lows.

Free-agent infielder Tim Anderson is open to playing either shortstop or second base in 2024, according to sources. The flexibility up the middle could open a few more potential landing spots for a player whose stock is down significantly after a rough 2023 campaign in which he hit an uncharacteristic .245 (121-for-493) with only one home runs, 25 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 52 runs scored for the Chicago White Sox. Anderson is a former batting champion, though, and is only 30 years old. He played well at the keystone for Team USA in this year's World Baseball Classic, so shifting over to second probably wouldn't be a big deal defensively. The Angels reportedly have interest in him this offseason. Zach Neto is set to open next year as the starting SS, so Anderson would be a nice fit at 2B.

According to a source, the Los Angeles Angels are reportedly "expressing strong interest" in former Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson. With Zach Neto at shortstop, the Angels could choose to move Anderson to second base after his extremely disappointing 2023 campaign. Luis Rengifo is penciled in at second base in Anaheim right now, but he has the versatility to move elsewhere if the Angels end up signing Anderson. The 30-year-old's stock is down big time after Chicago declined his $14 million team option for 2024. He had a terrible .582 OPS in 524 plate appearances while hitting .245/.286/.296 with one home run, 25 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 493 at-bats. Still, Anderson hit at least .301 every year from 2019-22 and could regain his form with a change of scenery.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson saw his option declined on Saturday. Anderson is now a free agent. It's a $1 million buyout for the White Sox, as they declined a $14 million option. His .245/.286/.296 slash line was almost unfathomable for someone who had produced four straight above-average seasons that started with a batting title in 2019 and included all-star appearances in 2021 and 2022. The 30-year-old still has time to turn things around and could become a fantasy commodity once again, but he won't be going off boards early in 2024.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (neck), whoreturned to Friday's lineup, went 0-for-4 with a run scored in the 6-0 win against the Detroit Tigers. The 30-year-old missed Wednesday's outing with neck stiffness, but he was back in his customary leadoff spot and shortstop position after Thursday's off day. Anderson remains a decent source of runs for the rest of the way, but this inferior version of the two-time All-Star is barely worth holding otherwise. Barring a miraculous turnaround, Anderson is set to go down arguably as fantasy's biggest hitting bust of 2023, batting .237 with one home run, 24 RBI, 47 runs scored, and 13 stolen bases in 430 at-bats. Anderson's 2024 ADP should certainly be interesting this winter.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (neck) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Kansas City Royals. The 30-year-old will sit this game out due to neck stiffness. That being said, fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about Anderson missing much time. He should be considered as day-to-day for the moment. Elvis Andrus will bat leadoff and cover shortstop versus right-hander Jordan Lyles on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Anderson sitting out.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson finished Wednesday's 10-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles by going 1-for-6 with a triple, two RBI, a run scored and two strikeouts. Anderson unbelievably still has only one home run in an extremely disappointing 2023 season, but he's gone 10-for-38 (.263) with four doubles, a triple, three RBI, 15 strikeouts, a stolen base and five runs scored in eight games since returning from his suspension. The 30-year-old has been one of the biggest busts of the year in fantasy after making the All-Star team each of the previous two seasons, but fantasy managers can only hope that he'll do some damage in the final month of the regular season. Anderson has struck out 102 times in 435 plate appearances in 2023.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has finished his suspension and is back at shortstop and in the leadoff spot for the Pale Hose on Wednesday against the visiting Seattle Mariners and right-hander George Kirby. Anderson had a five-game suspension for his role in a brawl with the Cleveland Guardians on Aug. 5, but he's back now and is hoping to stay hot at the plate after what has been an extremely disappointing 2023 campaign for the 30-year-old. He's hitting .281 (27-for-96) in the second half of the season, but overall Anderson has been a huge fantasy bust with a .238 average (88-for-370) with just one home run, 21 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 38 runs scored in 92 games after being an All-Star in 2021 and 2022.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson's six-game suspension handed down by the league for his actions in a brawl with the Cleveland Guardians on Aug. 5 has been reduced to five games after he settled with the league before a hearing was needed, according to sources. Anderson will begin serving the suspension on Friday. He'll miss the entire three-game series this weekend in Colorado and also the first two games of the series against the Seattle Mariners that starts on Monday. Expect to see veteran Elvis Andrus fill in for Anderson at shortstop the next five games. The 30-year-old Anderson has had a tough year and has just one home run while batting just .238 (88-for-370), but he has looked better at the plate in the second half.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (neck) is back at shortstop and is hitting in his customary leadoff spot as the team takes on the Chicago Cubs and right-hander Javier Assad on Wednesday. Anderson was scratched from Tuesday's lineup as a precaution due to neck stiffness, but he's back in there a day later. With the 30-year-old's appeal for a six-game suspension being heard on Thursday, this could be the last day before he's forced to sit out during a weekend series against the Colorado Rockies on the road. The two-time All-Star's struggles this year have been well-documented, but Anderson has looked much better since the All-Star break, going 27-for-93 (.290) with his first home run of the year, three doubles, eight RBI, two stolen bases and nine runs scored in 24 starts.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson's appeal of his six-game suspension is scheduled to be heard on Thursday, unless Anderson reaches a settlement on Wednesday. Anderson is also dealing with a stiff neck, which kept him out of Tuesday's contest. Even if Anderson is able to return to the game on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs, he's probably going to miss some games in the near future due to the suspension. The White Sox open a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies on the road, starting on Friday. Elvis Andrus should fill in at the 6 for however many games Anderson ends up missing for his suspension. Anderson has been a massive disappointment in fantasy in 2023 with a .240 average, just one home run and 11 stolen bases in 367 at-bats, although he's been better of late.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (neck) has been scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup against the Chicago Cubs due to a stiff neck. Elvis Andrus is filling in at shortstop and is batting leadoff against Cubs right-hander Kyle Kendricks, with Zach Remillard playing the keystone and hitting in the nine-hole. Anderson, who has been one of the biggest busts in all of baseball in 2023, should be considered day-to-day. Check back to see if he's available to play on Wednesday. The 30-year-old made the All-Star team in the previous two seasons, but he's been far from an All-Star in 2023, hitting .240/.285/.286 with only one home run, 21 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 38 runs scored in 91 games.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson will take a seat on Sunday in the series finale against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. Elvis Andrus will take over starting shortstop duties and will hit leadoff against Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta. Not much at all has gone right for Anderson in 2023 after he made consecutive All-Star appearances in 2021 and 2022. The 30-year-old has been one of the biggest busts in all of baseball this year. He's currently hitting .240 (88-for-367) with just one home run, 12 doubles, a triple, 21 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 38 runs scored in 393 trips to the plate over 91 games. However, he's been better so far in the second half, hitting .290 (27-for-93) with a homer, three doubles, eight RBI, two steals and nine runs scored in 24 starts since the All-Star break.
