Anderson went 4-for-7 with three doubles and three runs scored across both games of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
His barrage of two-baggers didn't help the Marlins win either end of the twin bill, but it did continue an impressive power display from Anderson. Over his last 10 games, the 26-year-old is slashing .324/.409/.730 with four homers and eight RBI in addition to Monday's doubles.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a grand slam Wednesday in the Marlins' 7-4 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's ninth-inning blast proved relatively meaningless to the outcome with the Twins already holding a commanding lead, but his fantasy managers surely took notice. The home run was Anderson's third in four games and his 14th overall since May 21. He'll remain locked into a key run-producing role for Miami the rest of the way as one of the few league-average bats on the MLB roster.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 11-6 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
He's now gone yard in two straight games, extending his modest hitting streak to six games and giving him 15 homers on the year. Anderson's only slashing .231/.265/.508 in 16 games since the All-Star break, but he still has time to turn around what has been a fairly underwhelming sophomore campaign to date.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has swooned in July, slashing .200/.246/.431 through 21 games, but Anderson now has 14 homers on the year, extending his career high. Barring an unexpected influx of MLB-ready talent at the trade deadline, he figures to continue drawing regular at-bats for the Marlins in the second half and hitting somewhere in the middle of an underpowered lineup.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a walk, three-run home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson got the Marlins offense started Tuesday night, slugging his 13th home run of the season in the first inning. He had struggled for much of July prior to this performance, entering the night with just two hits in 17 at-bats. He's now delivering a mediocre .248/.333/.431 line across 371 plate appearances for the season.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run homer and a second run scored in Friday's win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first start of July after being restricted to pinch-hitting duties prior to the All-Star break due to a bruised elbow, Anderson took Robert Gsellman deep in the sixth inning for his 12th home run of the year, establishing a new career high for the 26-year-old. Anderson's .252/.338/.430 slash line on the season remains mediocre, but he should continue to see consistent at-bats for a Marlins squad that lacks viable alternatives.

Anderson (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will be held out of the lineup for the fifth straight game after suffering a right elbow bruise in Tuesday's contest. The fact the 25-year-old hasn't been placed on the injured list gives the indication it's a minor issue, especially since he's appeared as a pinch hitter multiple times.
