Overview

• Tim Anderson was designated for assignment on May 28 after 90 plate appearances yielded a .205/.258/.241 slash line with no home runs in 31 games.
• The 31-year-old shortstop signed a minor league deal this offseason following his mid-2024 release by the Miami Marlins and lasted only one month in Anaheim.
• A former two-time All-Star and 2019 MLB batting champion, Anderson’s decline accelerated after a torn hand ligament in 2022 led to consecutive sub-.250 seasons.
• As part of the shake-up, the Angels reinstated right-hander Robert Stephenson from the 60-day injured list and optioned left-hander Jake Eder to Triple-A Salt Lake.
• Catcher Chuckie Robinson was also designated for assignment while infielder Scott Kingery was called up for his first big-league action since 2022.
