The Marlins are still in the middle of a playoff race in 2023 but there’s at least one thing already on their to-do list this winter. Per a report from Barry Jackson, Jordan McPherson and Craig Mish at the Miami Herald, the Marlins are planning to try to upgrade at shortstop this winter. The plan…

Tim Anderson Hitless In Lineup Return In Friday's Win

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.

Tim Anderson Scratched On Wednesday

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.

Tim Anderson Triples In Win Over Orioles

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.

Tim Anderson Returns From Suspension

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.

Tim Anderson's Suspension Reduced To Five Games

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.

Tim Anderson Back In Leadoff Spot

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.

Tim Anderson's Appeal Scheduled For Thursday

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.

Tim Anderson Scratched

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.

Tim Anderson Resting In Series Finale

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.

Tim Anderson Back In Action Against Yankees

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (forearm) is back at shortstop and batting leadoff for the Sox on Wednesday against the New York Yankees and right-handed opener Ian Hamilton. It's been an eventful couple of days for Anderson. First, the 30-year-old got knocked to the ground by a right hook from Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez during a brawl on Saturday night. Anderson was suspended six games by the league (he's currently appealing) for that incident, and then he was hit by a pitch in the left forearm on Monday, which caused him to sit out on Tuesday. He's back in the lineup on Wednesday, but fantasy managers haven't been able to rely on him for much in 2023. The two-time All-Star has fallen flat and has just one home run, 19 RBI, 11 steals and is batting a very disappointing .242 (86-for-355) on the year.

Tim Anderson Not Playing Tuesday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (forearm) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting New York Yankees. Elvis Andrus will take his place at the 6 and will hit leadoff for the White Sox against Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt. Anderson, who is appealing a six-game suspension for his involvement in a brawl against the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday, was hit by a pitch on his left forearm in Monday's game against the Yankees. The 30-year-old is considered day-to-day for now after X-rays came back negative for anything serious. After making the All-Star team in 2021 and 2022, Anderson has fallen on hard times in 2023. He's currently hitting .242/.285/.290 with just one home run, 19 RBI, 11 steals and 38 runs scored in 88 games for Chicago. He's been one of the biggest fantasy busts of the year.

Tim Anderson Hit By Pitch Monday, Day-To-Day

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (forearm) exited Monday's 5-1 win against the Yankees in the eighth inning with a bruised left forearm, per the team's Twitter page. Anderson was hit by a pitch in the third inning but was eventually removed, going 0-for-2 with two strikeouts. X-rays came back negative and he is day-to-day. The 30-year-old has had a very disappointing season, slashing just .242/.285/.290with one home run, 19 RBI, and 11 stolen bases over 379 plate appearances. He has dealt with a number of injuries and was recently suspended six games for the part he played in an on-field brawl against the Guardians. Given all of this at this point in the season, fantasy managers should be looking for other options at shortstop.

Tim Anderson Suspended Six Games

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has been suspended six games by Major League Baseball for his part in Saturday night's brawl with the Cleveland Guardians and third baseman Jose Ramirez, according to sources. Anderson is starting on Monday against the New York Yankees while appealing his suspension, so he won't have to sit out just yet after taking a day off on Sunday in the series finale against Cleveland. The 30-year-old instigated the fight with Ramirez on Saturday that led to him being dropped by a right hook from Ramirez. Fantasy managers need to plan for an eventual absence for Anderson this week. It's been a tough season for Anderson all around, as he has just one home run and 19 RBI while hitting .244 (86-for-353) with 11 steals and 38 runs scored.

Tim Anderson Facing Multi-Game Suspension

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson had the day off on Sunday, but he's likely facing a multi-game suspension from the league for his fight with Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez on Saturday night. MLB didn't announce any discipline for the players on Sunday, but the teams expect to hear from the league on Monday and they are bracing for the players to miss an extended period. Ramirez and Anderson threw punches on Saturday at second base in the sixth inning, with Anderson getting knocked to the ground by a right hook from Ramirez that landed on Anderson's jaw. In addition to Anderson having an extremely disappointing 2023 season, fantasy managers now need to prepare for him missing extended time due to suspension.

Tim Anderson Sitting Out After Saturday's Brawl

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Cleveland Guardians after his brawl with Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez on Saturday evening. After Ramirez slid into second base in the seventh inning on Saturday, J-Ram and Anderson got into a boxing match that ended with Anderson on the dirt after taking a right hook to the jaw from Ramirez. Anderson went 1-for-3 with a double and a strikeout before being ejected from the contest. This is just the latest in an extremely disappointing season for the 30-year-old, who is hitting .244 (86-for-353) with one home run, 19 RBI, 11 steals and 38 runs scored in 353 at-bats. Expect an upcoming suspension for Anderson. Elvis Andrus is at the 6 and batting leadoff on Sunday against Guardians right-hander Xzavion Curry.

Tim Anderson Finally Goes Yard In Saturday's Win

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians. At long last, Anderson's 96-game homerless odyssey encompassing 419 plate appearances reaches a merciful end. The 30-year-old had improbably not gone deep since July 15, 2022 before finally running into one off a Logan Allen fastball in the first inning of Saturday's outing. Anderson would add on a few more singles for good measure. The two-time All-Star's bat is finally awakening from the doldrums it sat in for the majority of the year as one of fantasy's biggest 2023 busts. Anderson is slashing .351/.413/.439 with one homer, six RBI, and one stolen base through 57 at-bats post-All-Star break. His bat finally triggers on as the trade deadline approaches for the selling White Sox, who have already dealt away Lucas Giolito and Lance Lynn.

Marlins Looking At Tim Anderson

The Miami Marlins are looking at Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson as they look to upgrade their offense in order to keep up in the ultra-competitive National League East. Anderson has finally gotten hot in the second half, but he still ranks last in OPS among all qualified hitters in 2023. However, his approach at the plate has been much better after the All-Star break and he's using the whole field again, which is when he's at his best. The Marlins rank 25th in OPS at shortstop, and Anderson is a more proven commodity than anyone the Fish currently have at the position. A change of scenery could do the 30-year-old well. He's currently slashing .245/.285/.285 with a .571 OPS, no home runs, 18 RBI, 10 stolen bases and 36 runs scored in 319 at-bats.

Tim Anderson Back At Shortstop For White Sox

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is back at the 6 and is hitting second on Monday in the series opener against the Los Angeles Angels and left-hander Reid Detmers. Anderson missed some time last week with a shoulder injury and returned at second base on Friday and Saturday before sitting out Sunday in the series finale against the Boston Red Sox. Nothing has really gone right for Anderson in 2023 to this point, as he's hitting an uncharacteristic .241 (52-for-216) with nine doubles, 11 RBI, eight stolen bases and 21 runs scored. The 30-year-old two-time All-Star is still searching for his first home run of the season, so he's been an absolute fantasy bust this year. Anderson has only two knocks in his last 30 at-bats over nine games.
