Marlins Designate Former All-Star Tim Anderson for Assignment

The shortstop's performance fell drastically, leading to his release after just 65 games with Miami.

Tim Anderson hit .214 with no home runs and only three extra-base hits in 234 at-bats this season.
The Marlins signed Anderson to a one-year, $5 million deal in February, hoping for a rebound year.
Anderson's OPS+ of 30 was the lowest among MLB players with at least 200 plate appearances.
The decision allows Miami to give more playing time to younger prospects like Xavier Edwards.
Anderson was a two-time All-Star and won the AL batting title in 2019 with a .335 average.
