Tim Anderson Retreats To Bench Against Padres
3 months agoMiami Marlins shortstop Tim Anderson will head to the bench for Wednesday's matinee game in San Diego against the Padres. With Anderson starting on the bench, Vidal Brujan will make the start at shortstop and will bat eighth, with Otto Lopez making the start at the keystone and hitting seventh against Padres right-hander Yu Darvish. Anderson has gone 5-for-24 in the seven games he's played since returning from the injured list, continuing to struggle at the plate since falling apart in his final season with the Chicago White Sox in 2023. The 30-year-old former All-Star is now slashing a weak .199/.235/.219 in his first year in Miami with no home runs, six RBI, three steals and 10 runs scored in 146 at-bats. Neither Lopez nor Brujan have a ton of fantasy appeal for DFS lineups near the bottom of a bad Marlins lineup.
