Anderson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

He missed the prior 11 games with an oblique strain, but Anderson got the ball rolling for the Marlins' offense by taking Riley Smith deep in the first inning. The third baseman has had a slow start to the season even aside from the injury, batting .206 with two homers and eight RBI through 18 games.

Anderson (oblique) was activated from the injured list as expected Tuesday and will bat fifth and play third base against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson missed two weeks with a left oblique strain. He was hitting just .200/.262/.300 prior to being shut down. Monte Harrison was optioned in a corresponding move.

Manager Don Mattingly expects Anderson (oblique) to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was eligible to be activated during the weekend series against the Nationals, but he'll end up spending a little more than the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Anderson was off to a slow start before the injury with a .200/.262/.300 slash line, one home run, five RBI and three runs in 17 games.

Anderson (oblique) is expected to return to the lineup around when he is first eligible, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday is the earliest possible date for Anderson's activation from the IL, but with the Marlins getting an off day Monday, a more cautious approach would see him back on the field Tuesday against the Diamondbacks. The 27-year-old has had a sluggish start at the plate, slashing .200/.262/.300 with one homer and five RBI through 17 games.

Anderson (oblique) resumed light baseball activities Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will be eligible to return from the injured list Saturday. The Marlins have yet to confirm that he's expected to do so, but he's progressing well and isn't expected to miss too much time.

Anderson will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was held out of Wednesday's lineup with side soreness, though it was reported that his condition did not improve as expected Thursday. As a result, he'll be placed on the 10-day injured list. Jon Berti should pick up playing time at third base in Anderson's absence.

Anderson is not in Thursday's lineup and may also Friday's game with soreness on his left side, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was held out of Wednesday's lineup with what appeared to be a minor injury, though it now seems as if his absence will extend for another few days. Jon Berti is likely to gain playing time at third base in Anderson's absence.

Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday that Anderson is "a little nicked up" with a side issue, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Several position players for the Marlins are dealing with injuries, so Mattingly elected to hold Anderson out of the lineup Wednesday to help preserve his long-term health. The injury doesn't sound like a significant concern, but it's not yet clear whether Anderson will return to action for Thursday's series opener against San Francisco.

Anderson isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has hit just .120 with a double, one RBI and eight strikeouts in his last six games. Jon Berti will take his place at third base Wednesday, batting seventh.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 14-8 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson finally rewarded fantasy managers for their patience with Tuesday's performance. The 27-year-old had been struggling early on with just five hits in his first 30 at-bats but shook off the rust with a three-hit performance including his first home run of the season. It's an encouraging sign to see him finally liven up at the plate, but fantasy managers should continue to take a cautious approach with installing him into their lineups until he can prove that Tuesday's hitting clinic wasn't just a one-game effort.
