Anderson (2-3) took the loss to the Indians on Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks across five-plus innings. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
After allowing just three runs across 12 innings during his Aug. 19 and Aug. 24 starts, Anderson has now been tagged for eight runs over just 10 frames in his last two outings. The southpaw had an opportunity to notch a quality start when he went out for the sixth inning, but he allowed a pair of hits to start the frame before being pulled and later charged with two more runs. He will look to bounce back when he takes the ball Saturday against the Cubs.

Anderson pitched five innings against Pittsburgh on Saturday, allowing four runs on nine hits while striking out three. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson entered the contest coming off two straight quality starts, but he didn't have his best stuff against the Pirates, yielding a season-high nine hits and four runs. The southpaw will carry a 4.18 ERA and 1.36 WHIP into his next start, currently scheduled for Saturday at Cleveland.

Anderson (2-2) picked up the win Monday against the Reds, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk across six innings pitched. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander has picked up a pair of wins while giving up just three runs across 12 innings in his last two starts. The Reds picked up their runs on solo homers from Curt Casali in the sixth and Eugenio Suarez in the seventh. Anderson, who has ERA down to 3.52 on the campaign, will look to stay sharp when he toes the rubber Saturday against the Pirates.

Anderson (1-2) allowed one run on five hits over six innings in a win over the Twins on Wednesday. He struck out five and did not issue a walk.
EDGE Analysis
This performance was a surprise. Anderson did not pitch more than 4.1 innings in any of his first three starts after missing time with a finger blister, and entered this game with a 4.91 ERA and 1.64 WHIP. The lefty had the lowest strikeout rate among qualified starters last season and is too volatile to start on a regular basis, though the 32-year-old showed Wednesday that he can still have his moments. Anderson gets the Reds and Pirates at home next week.

Anderson (0-2) took the loss against the Cubs on Thursday, pitching 4.1 innings and allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson needed 87 pitches to get through 4.1 frames, but he was able to limit the damage to a pair of runs despite allowing eight baserunners. The southpaw has increased his innings total and pitch count in each turn through the rotation, though he has yet to go deep enough to qualify for a win. Anderson now sports a 4.91 ERA and 1.64 WHIP through three starts. He'll next take the mound in a road matchup against a tough Minnesota offense Tuesday.

Anderson (0-1) was charged with three runs (two earned) on four hits over 3.2 innings in a loss to the Reds on Saturday. He struck out two and walked two.
EDGE Analysis
Cincinnati cashed in on a Keston Hiura fielding error in the first inning with a Eugenio Suarez three-run homer. Anderson was able to keep the ball on the ground otherwise, inducing eight groundballs before giving way to Corbin Burnes. The veteran southpaw missed the start of the season with a finger injury and is still building his arm up (68 pitches Saturday). Anderson projects for a couple tough road matchups against the Cubs and Twins in the weeks ahead, assuming he sticks in the starting rotation.

Anderson (finger) didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox, giving up two runs on five hits over three innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran southpaw was held to 52 pitches (30 strikes) in his first start of the season. Anderson should get stretched out as he settles into the rotation, but he's a tough guy to rely on for consistent innings. While he did toss 176 IP last year, it was the first time since 2015 he stayed healthy enough to clear triple digits. Anderson's next outing is scheduled for Saturday, at home against the Reds.

Anderson (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start against the White Sox on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been the Brewers' scheduled starter for several days, but his expected starts against St. Louis kept getting scrapped due to the Cardinals' coronavirus-related issues. He'll finally get to make his season debut Monday and will look to build on a 2019 campaign in which he recorded a solid 3.89 ERA.

Anderson (finger) won't make his scheduled start during Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals since both games were postponed due to multiple positive tests for COVID-19, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was supposed to make his season debut this weekend after beginning the season on the injured list, but the series never got started with the Cardinals producing the positive tests Friday, with more positives announced Saturday. It seemed only to be a matter of time before Sunday's doubleheader was also postponed. The veteran left-hander will presumably take the mound Monday versus the White Sox.

Anderson (finger) won't make his scheduled start Saturday since the game was postponed after the Cardinals produced multiple positive tests for COVID-19, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was set to make his season debut this weekend against the Cardinals, but the first two games of the series have been pushed back due to multiple positive COVID-19 tests within the Cardinals' organization. While no official decision has been made regarding Sunday's doubleheader, it appears unlikely that the teams will be able to take the field after several new tests returned positive for the Cardinals on Saturday. While the Brewers haven't made their rotation plans known, Anderson could make his debut Sunday or Monday.
