Anderson went 0-for-2 with a walk Sunday in the Marlins' 12-7 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins are riding a four-game losing streak heading into Monday's make-up game against the Mets, so it comes as little surprise that one of the key bats in their lineup in Anderson has slumped during that stretch. He's gone 0-for-11 with five strikeouts in the four games, dropping his season-long average to .221. Manager Don Mattingly seems content to let Anderson work through his August swoon, as the third baseman will be back in the lineup as the Marlins' cleanup hitter Monday while Miami takes aim at Mets ace Jacob deGrom, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Anderson went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson took Nate Pearson deep in the first inning, getting the Marlins out to an early lead. He struggled the rest of the game, however, whiffing in four of his next five at-bats. That pushed his strikeout rate to 31 percent for the season, though Anderson has still managed to hit .286/.288/.619 with four home runs, eight runs scored and 13 RBI across 49 plate appearances.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a triple and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson plated two runs with an RBI single in the bottom of the third, and he later drove in another run with an RBI triple in the seventh. Anderson has been one of Miami's biggest offensive threats to start the season, and he has reached base in all eight games he's played so far.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old then followed it up with an RBI single in the second game -- with both hits proving to be game-winners in a couple of narrow victories. Anderson has had a solid start to 2020 despite the Marlins' COVID-19 woes, going 5-for-19 through six games with two homers and five RBI.

Anderson and the rest of his teammates won't play again for the rest of the week due to the team's COVID-19 outbreak, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roughly half of the Marlins' roster has tested positive for the virus. It's not clear whether or not Anderson is part of that group, but all of the team's games through Sunday have been postponed, so he won't be taking the field even if healthy. Miami's next scheduled game is set for Tuesday against the Phillies.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and two runs scored against the Phillies on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson took Reggie McClain deep in the fifth inning, a big blow in the Marlins 11-run offensive performance. Anderson has started the season well, reaching base three times Saturday prior to his power production Sunday. He'll have the opportunity to build on these performances with a friendly matchup against the Orioles next on the schedule.

Anderson has consistently hit second in the Marlins' early spring contests, a likely indication of the regular-season batting order, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jonathan Villar has been in the leadoff spot, with Corey Dickerson and Jesus Aguilar slotting in behind Anderson. The 26-year-old posted career highs with 20 homers, 66 RBI and an .810 OPS last season, and he could be poised for even better numbers if he maintains a premium spot in the batting order.

Anderson (hand) will start at third base and bat second in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson exited early in Monday's contest against the Cardinals after being struck on the hand by a pitch, but he was fortunate to escape without any structural damage. After taking Tuesday off while waiting for the soreness to subside, Anderson is ready to reclaim his usual spot in the field and batting order.

Anderson said he's fine after being hit by a pitch on the left hand, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was struck by a Ryan Helsley fastball during Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, but thanks to a protective pad he was able to avoid a more serious injury. While the 26-year-old may miss a couple of games as a result, the issue shouldn't affect his buildup for the start of the season.

Anderson left Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals after being hit by a pitch on his left hand, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was hit by the pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning, and he was immediately replaced in the game by Christian Lopes. Anderson also missed the final month of the 2019 season with a left finger injury that he sustained in late August. The exact nature and severity of Monday's injury are unclear.
