Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (oblique) was activated from the injured list before Tuesday's game and immediately contributed, blasting a three-run home run in the first inning. Anderson ended up 1-for-3 with the home run and a walk, two runs scored, and three RBI. He looked like he was heating up from his slow start before he got hurt, so he may just be continuing that heating up process after a 10-day delay. Anderson might have a nice buy-low window in mixed leagues right now.

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (oblique) is expected to be activated from the injured list before Tuesday's game. Anderson suffered an oblique injury a little over a week ago, and while there was some concern he could miss extended time (as there is with most oblique injuries), Anderson was able to return quickly. He's a key part of the Marlins lineup despite the fact that he's struggled to a .200/.262/.300 slash line so far. He should return to somewhere in the middle of the ...

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (oblique) was seen taking grounders in the field prior to Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Anderson was placed on the 10-day injured list last Thursday due to an oblique strain and is eligible to return this weekend. As of now, it looks likely that he'll be able to return when first eligible. Through 16 games this year, Anderson is slashing .200/.262/.300 with one home run, three doubles, five RBI and three runs. When he returns, Jon ...

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Thursday's game due to an oblique strain.

According to manager Don Mattingly, Jon Berti will be the primary starter at third base while Anderson is out. Anderson was off to a slow start but was just beginning to show signs of breaking out. When he is able to come back, he will return to a ...

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson is dealing with a side issue that kept him out of Wednesday's lineup. Manager Don Mattingly did not specify any further, so it's unclear if Anderson's injury is an oblique issue or something more minor. He did not sound overly concerned however, and the Marlins are not expected to send Anderson to the injured list at this point. He's off to a slow start, slashing just .183/.246/.283, but he's always had rough Aprils and seemed to be putting the bat on ...

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Bruce Zimmermann and the Baltimore Orioles. Jon Berti is playing third base and batting seventh in the game. Anderson has struggled out of the gate this year. Through 16 games, he has one home run, five RBI and three runs with a .183/.246/.283 slash line. He'll likely be back in the lineup on Thursday when the team opens up a four-game series against the San Francisco Giants.

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson drew a walk and scored a run in Sunday's Grapefruit League win over the New York Mets. Officially, Anderson ended up 0-for-2 in the game. With Grapefruit League play over for the fish, Anderson finishes up the spring with a .233 batting average and a .576 OPS. A timely reminder that spring stats don't usually matter, but the Marlins are expecting a big season from Anderson, so he'll hopefully get off to a strong start once the games actually count next...

Brian Anderson has been consistently getting better at the plate since his debut season of 2017. After posting isolated power marks just slightly over .100 in 2017 and 2018, 2020 marks the second season in a row where he's had one over .200. Over the past two seasons, Anderson's power rise has been due to increases in his Statcast metrics, most notably his barrel rate, which in 2020 was a career-best 9.6%. Further adding to the power development, Anderson saw a great increase in pull rate, ...

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar and third baseman Brian Anderson are both on the bench for Saturday's contest versus the Yankees and right-hander Deivi Garcia. Garrett Cooper and Jon Berti will take over for Aguilar and Anderson, respectively, and bat third and fourth in the order.

Both Aguilar an Anderson will have DFS appeal come the playoffs due to ...
