Anderson went 3-for-4 with a grand slam, double, stolen base and two runs scored Wednesday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson provided a spark to the Marlins' offense, connecting on a grand slam in the third inning to put the team up 5-1. It was his seventh home run of the season, five of which have come in his past 17 games. Anderson also chipped in his fourth stolen base of the campaign, giving him under-the-radar potential for meaningful production in the category. However, his hot stretch could be coming to a close as he'll head home for a weekend series with Atlanta, where he's slugged just .358 in 125 plate appearances.

Anderson went 1-for-5 with a home run, walk, two RBI and three runs scored Tuesday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson took Chase Anderson deep in the third inning on a solo home run to record his sixth long ball of the season. While his .369 slugging percentage across 246 plate appearances is uninspiring, he's managed seven extra-base hits -- including four home runs -- in his past 16 games. That lack of power and poor team context limit Anderson's upside, though his 9.8 percent walk rate adds value in some league formats.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has been heating up since the second half of May, slashing .283/.353/.517 over his last 16 games with three homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs. Anderson's upside remains limited both by his own lack of plus power and the lineup around him, but his moderate production and position flexibility give him value in deeper fantasy formats.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a double, three RBI, a walk and a run scored Sunday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson cut Miami's deficit to four runs in the ninth inning after driving in three runs on a double to center field, but it wasn't enough to come away with the victory. He continues to put on an impressive display of power, slugging three home runs while driving in nine over his last six ballgames.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run homer and a second run scored in a loss to the Nationals on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
His first-inning shot off Kyle McGowin kickstarted a 10-run outburst for the Miami offense -- unfortunately, the pitching staff coughed up 12. Anderson's now homered three times in the last four games after going more than a month without leaving the yard, but on the season the 26-year-old is still slashing just .235/.319/.363.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
He's now gone yard in back-to-back games in Detroit, doubling his homer total on the year to a modest four. Anderson's .234/.311/.351 slash line through 45 contests isn't any better, but the 26-year-old's recent form offers some hope that he's headed into a hot streak.

Anderson went 2-for4 with a double, home run and two RBI on Tuesday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson played a large role in the Marlins' victory Tuesday, hitting a sacrifice fly in the first inning and following that up with a solo homer in the seventh inning. He now has three home runs on the season, though with just a .335 slugging percentage across 189 plate appearances, power production from Anderson has been rare. He's also hitting a disappointing .234, based largely on an increased strikeout rate.

Anderson and the Marlins won't play the Mets on Sunday after the contest was postponed due to inclement weather in New York.
EDGE Analysis
The two teams will make up the postponed game as part of a doubleheader Aug. 5. The Marlins will return to action Tuesday for the start of a two-game set with the Rays at home.

Manager Don Mattingly admitted Sunday that Anderson will be used in right field for the foreseeable future, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. "Right field turned into kind of a mess," Mattingly said. "[Anderson] kind of solidified that."
EDGE Analysis
Anderson essentially split time between third base and right field in 2018, logging 64 starts at the former position and 89 at the latter. He was expected to settle in primarily at the hot corner this season, but a long-term calf injury to Opening Day right fielder Garrett Cooper coupled with underwhelming runs at the position from Peter O'Brien, Austin Dean and Rosell Herrera has paved the way for Anderson to see more work in the outfield. With 19 starts at third and eight in right field already under his belt, Anderson looks poised to maintain dual eligibility heading into 2020.

Anderson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson tied the game in the sixth with a solo blast to left field, but the Marlins would fall 3-1 in a 14-inning affair. He's now homered in back-to-back contests, though his batting average thus far leaves something to be desired (.228 over 15 games).
