Anderson was struck by a line drive in the left shoulder and exited Wednesday's start against the Giants after two innings, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was struck by a 103-mph liner off the bat of Brandon Crawford during the second inning, and the left-hander was removed after closing out the frame. The 33-year-old exited from his last start with a hip injury and was also pulled from an outing early in August with a calf issue. Anderson won't factor in the decision Wednesday after giving up three hits with two strikeouts and a walk over two scoreless frames, and he should be considered day-to-day after being diagnosed with a shoulder contusion.

Anderson (hip) is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Giants, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson won't have to miss a turn through the rotation after he was pulled after four innings in his most recent start Aug. 26 against the Reds due to right hip tightness. The southpaw will presumably throw a bullpen session Monday before the Brewers formally clear him to make the start, but fantasy managers in NL-only leagues or deeper mixed leagues planning on deploying Anderson this week can probably feel comfortable about his status for Wednesday's contest.

Anderson (hip) said after Thursday's game he doesn't think his injury is serious, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was diagnosed with right hip tightness after he exited Thursday's start against the Reds, but early reports have been encouraging. The southpaw will likely be evaluated in the coming days to make sure his injury isn't major, and he should be considered day-to-day for now. If Anderson is able to make his next turn through the rotation, he tentatively lines up to start on the road against San Francisco on Wednesday.

Anderson exited Thursday's start against the Reds in the fifth inning with right hip tightness, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. He was charged with three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over four frames.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson had previously been slowed by hamstring and knee injuries earlier this season, but the hip issue looks to be a new concern for the southpaw. He'll presumably undergo further testing later Thursday or early Friday as the Brewers aim to identify the extent of the injury.

Anderson (4-7) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings in a loss to the Nationals on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson kept the Nationals off the board for the first three innings but was punished by a two-run triple off the bat of Lane Thomas in the fourth and then a run-scoring single by Riley Adams in the sixth. The 33-year-old southpaw has only managed to last six innings twice this season and hasn't won a game since the beginning of the month. Anderson owns a 4.15 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 51:23 K:BB over 82.1 innings and is set up for a divisional showdown against the Reds next week.

Anderson (4-6) took the loss in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates, surrendering six runs on eight hits and a walk over 3.1 innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran southpaw made it through two innings unscathed before the wheels started coming off in the third. Anderson came into the weekend with a 1.40 ERA and 0.82 WHIP over his last five starts and 25.2 innings, so perhaps he was overdue for a dud. On the season, the 33-year-old carries a 4.09 ERA and 48:20 K:BB through 77 innings.

Anderson and the Brewers won't play Friday against the Pirates after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was removed from his last start due to cramping in his left calf, and he'll get another day to recover before he returns to the mound. Friday's game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Saturday. Anderson will start the matinee, while Aaron Ashby will take the mound to begin the second game, Rosiak reports.

Manager Craig Counsell said Anderson (calf) is scheduled to start Friday against the Pirates, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson left his last start Sunday with cramping in his left calf, but it won't affect his availability for the next turn through the rotation. The veteran left-hander's fantasy value remains limited due to his low strikeout numbers, but in his past five starts he has a 1.40 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB across 25.2 innings.

Anderson was pulled after five innings during his start Sunday against the Giants due to left calf cramping, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. He gave up one run on five hits and no walks while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
According to Will Sammon of The Athletic, Anderson was pulled from the contest while warming up in the top of the sixth when his calf acted up. While it's encouraging that the Brewers are labeling his injury as a calf cramp rather than a calf strain or calf tightness, Anderson will need to complete a between-starts bullpen session without issue in the next few days to ensure he stays on turn in the Milwaukee rotation. Anderson departed with the Brewers up 3-1, but he won't be in line for his fifth win of the season after the bullpen coughed up the lead.

Anderson (4-5) allowed one run on three hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Sunday, striking out three and earning a win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was dominant Sunday, cruising through five scoreless frames to start the outing. He was charged with a run in the sixth after John Curtiss let an inherited runner cross home. The 33-year-old righty has been on fire lately, allowing just three runs through 20.2 innings (1.31 ERA) over his last four appearances. Anderson is lined up to face the Giants at home next week.
