Anderson allowed two earned runs over 5.2 innings in Thursday's exhibition game against the Giants. He gave up five hits and posted a 3:0 K:BB in the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has allowed 18 hits through 15.1 innings this spring, but he has also walked just two batters and has been credited with only four earned runs. Anderson is not a particularly appealing fantasy option due to his middling ratios and lack of punchouts, but with Josh Lindblom heading to the bullpen, he will get a regular turn as part of the Brewers' initial starting rotation.

Anderson is scheduled to start Saturday's spring game against the Cubs, according to MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's arrival in camp was a bit delayed, but he is ready to take the ball for the first time this spring. He is in position to break camp with a spot in the Brewers' rotation, and he will have ample time to build up his pitch count before Opening Day.

Anderson has yet to arrive at camp due to intake protocols, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson didn't sign until mid-February and then was delayed by the storm in Texas. He'll be a few days behind his teammates but should be done with COVID testing Monday or Tuesday, leaving him plenty of time to be fully ready for the upcoming season.

Anderson returned to the Brewers on a one-year, $2.5 million contract Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran lefty can make an additional $1 million in incentives. He was a serviceable starter for the Brewers last season, posting a 4.21 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in 10 starts, though his 15.8 percent strikeout rate (his highest number in six years) suppresses his already modest fantasy value. Most significantly, however, he stayed healthy for almost the entire season for the second year in a row, an encouraging sign after he averaged just 11 major-league starts per year from 2016 to 2018.

Anderson (finger) isn't included on the Brewers' 28-man roster for the team's wild-card series with the Dodgers that begins Wednesday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson needs more time to heal up after developing a blister on a finger on his left hand during his start in the Brewers' regular-season finale Sunday. The veteran southpaw will presumably try to resume throwing at some point within the next few days, which could keep him in the mix to rejoin the postseason roster next week if the Brewers should advance to the divisional round.

Anderson was removed in the third inning of his start Sunday against the Cardinals with an blister on his left index finger, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After retiring six of the first seven batters he faced over two scoreless innings, Anderson opened the bottom of the third by allowing a leadoff triple to Harrison Bader followed by a nine-pitch walk to Tyler O'Neill. Following O'Neill's at-bat, Anderson had his left hand looked at a by a team trainer before he headed to the dugout. Anderson already spent time on the injured list earlier this season with a blister, so the issue could keep him sidelined for the wild-card round of the playoffs, should the Brewers secure a spot in the postseason.

Anderson (4-3) earned the win Tuesday at Cincinnati after allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits with seven strikeouts and zero walks over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

It was a horrible start for the veteran lefty as leadoff man Aristides Aquino reached via an error and Nick Castellanos subsequently clubbed a two-run homer, but he quickly settled down and blanked the Reds the rest of the way. Anderson has a 4.00 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB over 45 innings and lines up to pitch Sunday's regular-season finale at St. Louis.

Anderson (3-3) was credited with the victory in a win over the Cardinals on Tuesday, pitching five innings during which he allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while recording three strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson moved to .500 for the season and bounced back nicely after allowing a season-high four runs in back-to-back starts versus Pittsburgh and Cleveland. After a sore hip resulted in his start getting pushed back, Anderson showed no discomfort and there were no reported setbacks. He is scheduled to make his next start Monday versus the Reds.

Anderson (hip) is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will end up getting pushed back two days in the Brewers' pitching schedule after he was initially scratched ahead of Saturday's game against the Cubs due to a sore right hip. Given that he wasn't forced to halt his throwing program on account of the injury, Anderson shouldn't face any restrictions with his pitch count in Tuesday's outing.

Anderson was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday due to right hip tightness, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brent Suter will take the mound against the Cubs in Anderson's place as the Brewers will move their anticipated bullpen game to Saturday. Manager Craig Counsell said that Anderson could be available for one of the team's games against the Cardinals as the Brewers are slated to play two doubleheaders against them early next week.
