Anderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-3 win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson received a day off Wednesday and has responded by going 6-for-10 with a home run and three walks in the last three games. The 25-year-old still has some work to do in order to improve his .231/.322/.308 slash line, but finally appears to be finding his groove at the plate.

Anderson is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is struggling at the plate through 11 games, slashing just .143/.217/.167 with a 28.3 percent strikeout rate, so he'll take a seat for the first time all season in an effort to clear his head. Martin Prado will start at the hot corner and hit seventh in his stead.

Anderson will bat third and man third base in Sunday's game against the Braves, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
One of the few core pieces of a rebuilding Marlins roster, Anderson has slotted in as the No. 2 or 3 hitter in each of the team's games this season. Despite batting just .176 through nine contests, Anderson is in no danger of dropping in the lineup with few other Marlins position players making cases for looks in the heart of the order.

Anderson went 2-for-2 with two walks, a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Hitting second in the order between veteran bats Curtis Granderson and Neil Walker in what could easily be the Marlins' Opening Day lineup, Anderson pushed his spring slash line up to .400/.500/.725 through 48 plate appearances with an impressive 7:6 BB:K. The 25-year-old is coming off a surprisingly productive rookie season, and while he was never considered a top prospect coming up through Miami's system, the third baseman seems poised to deliver another solid campaign.

Anderson went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run homer in Thursday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson took Brady Rodgers deep in the sixth inning Thursday, marking his first homer through four Grapefruit League games. The 25-year-old, who is expected serve as Miami's primary third baseman in 2019, is 3-for-10 with four RBI and a stolen base so far in spring.

President of baseball operations Michael Hill said Saturday that the Marlins plan to deploy Anderson as their primary third baseman this season, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson opened 2018 as the team's everyday third baseman but moved to right field for a large portion of the season to create room in the lineup when Martin Prado returned from the disabled list. Prado still remains on the Miami roster, but it appears the Marlins may be an envisioning the oft-injured veteran as more of a part-time utility player at this stage of his career. Since Anderson maintains eligibility at both third base and the outfield in most leagues after starting 70-plus games at both spots last season, a permanent deployment at the hot corner won't have much impact on his fantasy outlook. Instead, it's more likely to be beneficial to corner-outfield options such as Austin Dean, Curtis Granderson, Peter O'Brien and Garrett Cooper, whose path to at-bats may have been more blocked if Anderson was a fixture there.
