Anderson elected free agency Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
One day after he was outrighted off Atlanta's 40-man roster, Anderson decided to pursue opportunities elsewhere rather than accepting a minor-league assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett. The 31-year-old saw action in just three games for Atlanta prior to being cut loose, going hitless with two strikeouts in five plate appearances.

Atlanta outrighted Anderson to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
After being reinstated from the 10-day injured list this past Wednesday, Anderson appeared in just one of Atlanta's subsequent five games before being pushed off the 40-man roster. Atlanta will announce a replacement for Anderson on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster prior to their first game out of the All-Star break Friday versus the Cardinals.

Atlanta reinstated Anderson (illness) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old landed on the shelf in late June with a bacterial infection and will rejoin the active roster after a three-game rehab stint with Triple-A Gwinnett. Anderson signed a big-league contract with Atlanta in early June but saw action in just three games prior to landing on the injured list.

Anderson (illness) was sent to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday to begin a rehab assignment.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been out since late June with a bacterial infection but is feeling well enough to play in games again. He shouldn't require many rehab at-bats before being activated.

Atlanta placed Anderson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a bacterial infection.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson probably doesn't need a full 10 days to recover, but the club decided to deactivate him rather than continuing to play a man short. Luke Williams was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett and will replace Anderson on the 26-man active roster.

Anderson is not with the team due to a lower body bacterial infection, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson hasn't been with Atlanta on the team's current road trip, and it sounds as though he'll remain out for at least a few more days. "So, he hasn't been with us the whole way, but we're just hoping that at some point, we get him back," said manager Brian Snitker. Anderson remains on the active roster, which means Atlanta is playing down a man.

Anderson agreed to a major-league contract with Atlanta and will be on the active roster for Tuesday's game in Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old opted out of his minor-league deal with Seattle over the weekend and will now receive his first look in the big leagues during 2024. Anderson spent last season with the Brewers and posted a .226/.310/.368 slash line in 96 contests. He should serve as a bench bat and provides some corner outfield depth with Ronald Acuna (knee) out for the season.

Anderson signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was released by Seattle on Sunday, though he'll rejoin the team and join Triple-A Tacoma. He could get an opportunity in the majors if Josh Rojas or Luis Urias struggles.

The Mariners released Anderson on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson put together a solid spring, slashing .250/.344/.536 with two homers and six RBI across 32 plate appearances, but he ultimately ended up not making the Mariners' Opening Day roster. The 30-year-old utility man will now attempt to latch on with another club and should have little trouble securing at least a minor-league deal.

Anderson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in the Mariners' Cactus League loss to the White Sox on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's shot into right center in the second inning with Cade Marlowe aboard snapped a 1-1 tie. Anderson was a somewhat under-the-radar signing by the Mariners at the start of spring camp, and Thursday marked his Cactus League debut. With Luis Urias (shoulder) still rounding back into shape and limited to designated hitter duties for the time being, Anderson should have a solid amount of opportunity to make his case as a non-roster invitee in coming exhibitions.
