Angels DFA Former All-Star, Batting Champ Tim Anderson
- The Los Angeles Angels designated former two-time All-Star shortstop Tim Anderson for assignment on Wednesday after he played 31 games with the team in 2024.
- Anderson's designation followed a decline caused by injuries and poor hitting that began after his last productive seasons with the Chicago White Sox and Miami Marlins.
- During his short stint with the Angels, Anderson hit.205 with no home runs and only three extra-base hits in 90 plate appearances, despite solid defensive metrics.
- From 2019 to 2022, Anderson slashed.318/.347/.473 and won the 2019 batting title, but since 2023, he has posted a.232 average and a wRC+ of 49, reflecting his offensive struggles.
- The Angels cleared roster space for returning players and prospects like Scott Kingery, suggesting Anderson’s next step could be free agency or a minor league contract elsewhere.
