Tue Mar 1200:04Tim Anderson Hits First Homer Of Spring Monday
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.

Sun Feb 2512:23Tim Anderson Says His Knee Is Healthy
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.

Thu Feb 2212:07Tim Anderson Joins The Marlins
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.

Wed Feb 2112:02Marlins Offer Tim Anderson A Starting Job
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.

Fri Feb 1612:46Marlins Make Offer To Tim Anderson
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.

Wed Nov 15 202316:06Tim Anderson Open To Playing Shortstop Or Second Base
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.

Mon Nov 13 202313:06Angels "Expressing Strong Interest" In Tim Anderson
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.

Sat Nov 4 202319:19White Sox Decline Option On Tim Anderson
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.

Sat Sep 9 202311:12Tim 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.

Wed Sep 6 202318:58Tim 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.

Thu Aug 31 202312:51Tim 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.

Wed Aug 23 202312:07Tim 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.

Thu Aug 17 202315:33Tim 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.

Wed Aug 16 202316:29Tim 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.

Wed Aug 16 202312:51Tim 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.

Tue Aug 15 202319:38Tim 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.

Sun Aug 13 202312:27Tim 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.

Wed Aug 9 202316:53Tim 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.

Tue Aug 8 202319:17Tim 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.

Tue Aug 8 202300:34Tim 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.
