Tim Anderson Debuts In Outfield On Wednesday
30 seconds agoLos Angeles Angels shortstop Tim Anderson saw his first outfield action of the spring on Wednesday after he started at center field for the Halos in their 5-3 Cactus League loss to the Dodgers. Manager Ron Washington indicated earlier this spring that Anderson would see some time in the outfield despite not having logged any time there in his entire career dating back to 2016. The added flexibility would increase his odds of securing a roster spot and the positional versatility would enhance whatever fantasy appeal he has left. The 31-year-old has seen his batting average drop in five consecutive seasons since peaking at .335 in 2019, while his strikeout rate last season was the worst of his career at 28.2 percent. The veteran went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's game with his first stolen base of the spring, and he also scored a run. The 2x All-Star is likely only worth a look in AL-only formats at this point, though.
