Tim Anderson Says His Knee Is Healthy
9 months agoMiami Marlins shortstop Tim Anderson, who signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the team this week, said his left knee is "healthy" and ready to go for the 2024 season. Anderson's left-knee sprain contributed heavily to his struggles in 2023, in which he hit just one home run while delivering a .582 OPS, the lowest among all qualified hitters. The 30-year-old hasn't played in more than 123 games in a season since 2019 due to injuries, which makes him a pretty big injury risk as he tries to bounce back from a dreadful season. His sprint speed, which has been well above-average for the bulk of his eight-year career, fell to the 46th percentile last year. But if the former first-rounder can regain even a fraction of his old form -- he was the only player in the majors to hit .300 or better in each season from 2019-22 -- fantasy managers will have a steal on their hands.
