Angels' Tim Anderson: Cast off 40-man roster
The Los Angeles Angels designated Tim Anderson for assignment Wednesday.The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Scott Kingery, who was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake. Though Anderson was able to claim a spot on the Angels' Opening Day roster coming out of spring training, he struggled in his limited playing time, slashing .205/.258/.241 with one steal, three RBI and a 32.2 percent strikeout rate across 90 plate appearances this season. The two-time All-Star will now be exposed to waivers, but in the likely event that he goes unclaimed, he'll have the ability to accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Salt Lake or pursue free agency.

Angels' Tim Anderson: Shifts back to reserve role
Tim Anderson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.Anderson made three straight starts at second base this past weekend, but he's shifted back to a bench role for the Los Angeles Angels' first two games against the Blue Jays after the team welcomed Yoan Moncada back from the injured list. Anderson's playing time could be limited moving forward while the quartet of Nolan Schanuel, Luis Rengifo, Zach Neto and Moncada typically makes up the Angels' starting infield against both right- and left-handed pitching.

Angels' Tim Anderson: Getting third straight start
Tim Anderson will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Tigers.Anderson thus far seems to be the primary beneficiary of Mike Trout's (knee) recent move to the injured list. With Trout on the shelf, Kyren Paris has now made three consecutive starts in the outfield, opening up the keystone for Anderson in all three of those contests. The two-time All-Star is still slashing a woeful .179/.220/.196 over 60 plate appearances with the Los Angeles Angels on the season, so despite the recent uptick in playing time, Anderson likely won't warrant much attention outside of AL-only leagues.

Angels' Tim Anderson: Taking seat Thursday
Tim Anderson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.Anderson will give way to Kevin Newman at shortstop after starting at the position in seven of the Halos' previous nine games. Both players will soon see their opportunities in the middle infield dry up, as Zach Neto (shoulder) looks poised to return from the 10-day injured list to make his season debut as soon as Thursday.

Angels' Tim Anderson: Hitting bench Sunday
Tim Anderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.Anderson will hit the bench after he had made six straight starts at either second base or shortstop while going 2-for-19 with two walks, two runs, one RBI and one stolen base. Kyren Paris will likely hold down the fort at second base while Yoan Moncada (thumb) is on the shelf, and Luis Rengifo will shift to third base, but Anderson could still see consistent playing time at shortstop ahead of Kevin Newman and Nicky Lopez.

Angels' Tim Anderson: Getting second straight start
Tim Anderson will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.After going 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run in Saturday's 10-4 win, Anderson will pick up a second straight start. He may have inched ahead of Kevin Newman in the competition for primary duties at shortstop, though playing time at the position remains fluid.

Angels' Tim Anderson: Fanned three times in Halos debut
Tim Anderson went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during Thursday's 8-1 Opening Day loss to the White Sox.Anderson got the starting nod at the keystone Opening Day but struck out three times in a game that saw the Los Angeles Angels held without a run until the ninth inning. Anderson should see a fair amount of starts to begin the year due to Zach Neto (shoulder) starting the season on the 10-day IL, but the former could begin Saturday's game in the dugout if Yoan Moncada (thumb) is cleared to play, which would likely shift Luis Rengifo to second base.

Angels' Tim Anderson: Makes Opening Day roster
The Los Angeles Angels selected Tim Anderson's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.Though he only slashed .263/.311/.333 with three RBI and four runs scored across 61 Cactus League plate appearances, Anderson will end up with a spot on the Angels' Opening Day roster. He narrowly outperformed Kevin Newman (.216/.326/.243) this spring, though it's still unclear which player will get the starting nod at shortstop while Zach Neto recovers from a shoulder injury. The signing of Nicky Lopez on Tuesday further complicates the situation. Anderson also saw exposure to second base and the outfield in spring training, so he could be a candidate to fill a utility role.

Angels' Tim Anderson: Could start at second base
Tim Anderson might be the Los Angeles Angels' Opening Day starter at second base due to Yoan Moncada (thumb) being a question mark for the beginning of the season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.Moncada may be destined for the IL due to a thumb injury, which would likely mean that Luis Rengifo will become the starter at the hot corner at the beginning of the campaign. That could open up the second-base job for Anderson, who has been getting some reps at the keystone this spring despite playing only two regular-season games there to this point in his nine years in the big leagues. If the second-base role does become available, Christian Moore and Scott Kingery, among others, could also be candidates for the position, but Anderson has done enough this spring to have his name called, as he's slashing .243/.300/.351 with a home run and two stolen bases over 40 plate appearances.
