There was some good news for Brian Anderson on Tuesday as it was determined the Marlins third baseman/outfielder would not need surgery on his broken hand that has forced him out for the remainder of the 2019 season.
Anderson suffered the injury last Friday after being plunked by a pitch from Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Vince Velasquez. According to the team, an X-ray dome that evening showed a fracture, but after seeing a hand specialist on Monday, it was determined that there was no extensive damage.
The good news is Anderson will be ready when the team opens Spring Training in Jupiter, Florida in February.
