Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (finger) is seeing a hand specialist on Tuesday. Anderson, who underwent surgery to repair a tear in the sagittal band of his left middle finger on August 11, has yet to begin playing catch or swinging a bat. The hope would be that the specialist on Tuesday would clear Anderson for both activities. There is still no timetable for his return but perhaps he can rejoin the surging White Sox in late September.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington said that the team is planning to try shortstop Tim Anderson in the outfield later in spring training. With Zach Neto (shoulder) a candidate to open the 2025 season on the injured after having right-shoulder surgery last November, Anderson could open the year as the Angels' primary shortstop, although he'll have competition from the likes of Luis Rengifo, Scott Kingery and Kyren Paris. The 31-year-old will increase his odds of making the Opening Day roster, though, if he impresses the coaches with his work in the outfield this spring. Anderson has never played the outfield in his MLB career and will be a long shot to see much time out there, if at all, in 2025. Offensively, the former first-rounder has fallen off a cliff the last two years after being an All-Star in both 2021 and 2022 with the Chicago White Sox. He's only worth a bench spot in AL-only leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Tim Anderson could have a shot to be the team's Opening Day shortstop in 2025 with Zach Neto (shoulder) expected to open the season on the injured list after having right-shoulder surgery last November. Anderson is on a minor-league deal, though, and will have to earn his spot on the roster while competing with the likes of Kevin Newman, Scott Kingery and Kyren Paris. Luis Rengifo could also be an option for the 6 while Neto is out early on. Anderson was a former batting champion with the Chicago White Sox in 2019 and was also named to two All-Star teams. However, his production has fallen off a cliff the last two years (.235/.271/.274 with a .544 OPS), leading to his release with the Miami Marlins in 2024. The 31-year-old is really going to have to turn things around to avoid being just an infield bench option in 2025.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Former All-Star shortstop Tim Anderson signed a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. Anderson will look to return to the big leagues alongside manager and infield guru Ron Washington in Anaheim in 2025. The 31-year-old made the All-Star team in back-to-back seasons with the Chicago White So in 2021 and 2022 and also won an American League batting title back in 2019, but he's tanked the last two years offensively and ended up being released by the Miami Marlins in 2024 after hitting just .214/.237/.226 with no homers in 65 games. Anderson will have a better shot at making the Angels' Opening Day roster out of spring training since starting shortstop Zach Neto (shoulder) may not be ready to go, but until further notice, Anderson won't be anywhere near the fantasy radar for those in mixed leagues in 2025.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Miami Marlins plan on designating struggling shortstop Tim Anderson for assignment. The move should free up guys like Vidal Brujan and Xavier Edwards for regular playing time with an eye toward the future. Anderson was Miami's only major-league free-agent signing in the offseason at $5 million for one season. The 31-year-old unfortunately continued the downward spiral that began in his final season with the Chicago White Sox last year. Through 65 games in 2024, the two-time All-Star hit just .214/.237/.226 with no home runs, three doubles, nine RBI, four stolen bases, seven walks and 68 strikeouts in 241 plate appearances. Anderson has just one home run in the last two seasons and will now hope to latch on with another organization when he eventually becomes a free agent. Edwards has yet to homer in his 33 big-league games dating back to last year but is worth a look in NL-only leagues now that he's back in the fold and set to see playing time in Miami.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
