Mar 31 2025The Brewers recalled Anderson from Triple-A Nashville on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers are deploying Elvin Rodriguez as an opening pitcher in Monday's game against the Royals and aren't counting on him working deep into the contest, so Anderson will provide an extra option out of a bullpen that was worked heavily in the three-game series with the Yankees over the weekend. With the Rangers a season ago, Anderson made 23 appearances and turned in an 8.10 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over 26.2 innings.
Mar 10 2025The Brewers optioned Anderson to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers acquired Anderson via trade from the Rangers in January before watching him struggle this spring, allowing five runs over 3.2 innings of work. Anderson will head to Nashville for now but should get a shot in Milwaukee's bullpen eventually.
Dec 30 2024The Rangers designated Anderson for assignment Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Joc Pederson, whose signing was officially announced. Anderson, 27, holds a 6.35 ERA and 59:24 K:BB over 62.1 relief innings across the last two seasons. He has a 32.7 percent strikeout rate at the Triple-A level, so it's possible Anderson draws interest via trade or waivers.
Sep 17 2024Anderson (ankle) made a rehab appearance with Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, tossing a 1-2-3 scoreless inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Anderson was placed on the 15-day injured list Sept. 6 with a right ankle contusion but looks to be tracking toward an abbreviated stint on the shelf. The right-hander has typically served as a low-leverage reliever for Texas this season, logging one save and one hold while turning in an 8.10 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 26.2 innings.
Sep 6 2024Anderson was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 5, with a right ankle contusion. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was forced to leave Wednesday's game after taking a comebacker off his ankle -- the batted ball was clocked at 103 mph off the bat of Jazz Chisholm. Anderson appears to have escaped with a bruise, but it will still cost him at least a couple weeks and could perhaps end his season. Owen White was recalled in a corresponding move.
Sep 4 2024Anderson was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees after getting hit by a comebacker, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Anderson was able to walk off the field under his own power after getting hit by a 103-mph line drive off the bat of Jazz Chisholm. The severity of the right-hander's injury is unknown, though it's possible the Rangers make him unavailable out of the bullpen for a day or two just to be safe.
Aug 28 2024Anderson retired the only batter he faced to earn the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

Kirby Yates had pitched earlier in the day, earning the save in a game that was suspended Tuesday and finished Wednesday. Anderson has a 7.92 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB over 25 innings in the majors this year, adding a save, a hold and a blown save.
