PHILADELPHIA -- It remains to be seen how the Marlins will approach the July 30 Trade Deadline, but they are expecting their lineup to get at least one key boost in the week leading up to it.

Third baseman Brian Anderson began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. Manager Don Mattingly remains hopeful that Anderson will be able to rejoin the club as soon as he's eligible on July 25.

"That is the plan to be hopefully close to that," Mattingly said prior to Friday's single-admission doubleheader against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. "Everything has gone well so far. He hasn't started playing games, so that will probably be a bigger indicator on that. But he has done really well. I think everybody is happy with where he's at to this point."

Anderson hasn't played since departing the Marlins' May 24 game against the Phillies. He landed on the IL the following day with a left shoulder subluxation, marking his second IL stint of the season. The 28-year-old was also sidelined from April 21-May 3 due to a left oblique strain.

Though he got off to a slow start, Anderson had been finding his stride before sustaining the shoulder injury. He hit .458 (11-for-24) with four extra-base hits (three doubles, one homer) with six walks and a pair of stolen bases in his last eight games before being placed on the IL.

Anderson's potential return will be a welcome addition for a Marlins team that entered Friday's doubleheader in last place in the NL East -- but only nine games out of first place. He posted an OPS above .800 in both 2019 and '20, and even with the time he's missed, he leads Miami in home runs (34), RBIs (115) and walks (78) since the start of the '19 season.

The way the Marlins perform on their seven-game divisional road trip coming out of the All-Star break could determine whether the club looks to add or move players at the Trade Deadline, but Anderson rejoining the lineup is a factor the team will consider.

"I do think a guy like that is, obviously, an addition," Mattingly said. "It gives you that everyday guy again, and basically, that takes the guys that you've been using to fill that spot and strengthens your bench. That definitely would be an add for us."

Rogers stars on big stage
Though Trevor Rogers called the entire experience "unbelievable," the 23-year-old said the honor of being an All-Star really hit him as he jogged in to pitch the fifth inning of Tuesday's Midsummer Classic at Coors Field.

"I'm like, 'Man I'm here with the best players in the world and I get to pitch to them,'" Rogers said prior to Friday's game. "It's something that I'll never take for granted and I'm truly thankful for."

Rogers was charged with a pair of unearned runs after an error opened the door for the American League, but the three batters he retired make for quite the list: J.D. Martinez, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Aaron Judge.

Rogers needed only three pitches to strike out Martinez, finishing off the four-time All-Star by getting him to chase a changeup in the dirt. It was a bit of revenge for Rogers, who served up a pair of scorched doubles when the pair squared off at Fenway Park on May 29.

"It was awesome. I got to face him in Boston, and he hit me pretty good," Rogers said. "So I got to face him again, and I got him. It was pretty cool getting that guy."

Rogers, who has a 2.31 ERA and 122 strikeouts over 101 1/3 innings, is expected to make his second-half debut on Monday against the Nationals. While the southpaw looks to continue building on his impressive rookie campaign down the stretch, Mattingly hopes the All-Star experience will give Rogers something to keep striving for moving forward.

“Going to that game, being around all the best players in the game, seeing that whole picture -- you come back from that with a load of confidence,” Mattingly said. “Just seeing that is really good for you as a player, and being able to accomplish that should make you want to continue to be at that level."
