Mattingly talks about the progression of third baseman prospect Brian Anderson, who played in the majors for the first time last season. By
The follow up to his impressive rookie season hasn’t gone the way Brian Anderson hoped. After leading all National League rookies in hits and doubles in 2018, Anderson is off to a brutal start to 2019. The slugging third baseman enters Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds batting just .143 with a .167 slugging percentage.
The Miami Marlins are hoping to get their top hitter back on track as quickly as possible. Don Mattingly hopes a day off for Anderson in Cincinnati could be a remedy.
