Report: Tim Anderson DFA’d by Marlins after first-half struggles originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
The Marlins are reportedly moving on from Tim Anderson, after just 65 games. According to Craig Mish of the Miami Herald, the team will designate Anderson for assignment.
Anderson signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Marlins over the offseason when it became clear the White Sox would not re-sign him.
Anderson has struggled over the first half of the season, both with his bat and his glove. Anderson is slashing .214/.237/.226 with 68 strikeouts and just seven walks. He’s stolen four bases, but has been caught stealing four times, too. Anderson has no homers and nine RBI.
In the field, Anderson has committed nine errors with a .963 fielding percent. The nine errors are fifth-most among NL shortstops.
