The visit came as the team was preparing to take on the Detroit Tigers in an afternoon game at Roger Dean Stadium, where the Marlins host their spring training games.

It was not clear if Anthony stayed for the game.

Anthony was pictured with team president David Samson in a photo taken on the field of what appeared to be a team practice before Tuesday's 1:05 p.m. game.

The Marlins will host the Atlanta Braves in the first home game of the 2017 season at 7:10 p.m. on April 11 at Marlins Park.
