Gets first off day of 2020 Anderson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Braves, Andre Fernandez of Sirius XM Radio reports.

Impact He'll be taking a seat for the first time in 2020, ending a streak of 35 straight starts to begin the season. Despite the steady at-bats, Anderson's .740 OPS is 70 points below his mark from 2019, with the downturn mostly the result of a massive uptick in his strikeout rate. Anderson has struck out in 32.1 percent of his plate appearances this season, nearly 10 percentage points above his career rate (22.2 percent).

Hits fifth homer Anderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

Impact Anderson entered Monday in a slump at the plate, striking five times while failing to record a hit in his last 11 at-bats.

Rojas gets key hit as Marlins beat deGrom, Mets 5-3

Miguel Rojas hit a tiebreaking RBI single during Miami’s four-run sixth inning against Jacob deGrom, and the Marlins beat the New York Mets 5-3

AUGUST 31, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Stuck in offensive rut Anderson went 0-for-2 with a walk Sunday in the Marlins' 12-7 loss to the Rays.

Impact The Marlins are riding a four-game losing streak heading into Monday's make-up game against the Mets, so it comes as little surprise that one of the key bats in their lineup in Anderson has slumped during that stretch. He's gone 0-for-11 with five strikeouts in the four games, dropping his season-long average to .221. Manager Don Mattingly seems content to let Anderson work through his August swoon, as the third baseman will be back in the lineup as the Marlins' cleanup hitter Monday while Miami takes aim at Mets ace Jacob deGrom, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.
