Becomes free agent Anderson elected free agency Wednesday.

Impact One day after he was outrighted off Atlanta's 40-man roster, Anderson decided to pursue opportunities elsewhere rather than accepting a minor-league assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett. The 31-year-old saw action in just three games for Atlanta prior to being cut loose, going hitless with two strikeouts in five plate appearances.

Outrighted off 40-man roster Atlanta outrighted Anderson to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Impact After being reinstated from the 10-day injured list this past Wednesday, Anderson appeared in just one of Atlanta's subsequent five games before being pushed off the 40-man roster. Atlanta will announce a replacement for Anderson on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster prior to their first game out of the All-Star break Friday versus the Cardinals.

Returns from injured list Atlanta reinstated Anderson (illness) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact The 31-year-old landed on the shelf in late June with a bacterial infection and will rejoin the active roster after a three-game rehab stint with Triple-A Gwinnett. Anderson signed a big-league contract with Atlanta in early June but saw action in just three games prior to landing on the injured list.

Released by Milwaukee Anderson was released by the Brewers on Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Anderson was removed from the Brewers' 40-man roster last week and is now officially a free agent after clearing waivers. The 30-year-old got off to a solid start for the Brew Crew this season in posting a .790 OPS in April, but he posted a .629 OPS after that and was hardly playing before being cut loose.

Designated for assignment Anderson was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Thursday.

Impact This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) as he returns from the 60-day injured list. Anderson played regularly for the Brewers in the first half of the 2023 campaign, but he'd logged only 27 plate appearances since the beginning of August while slashing .192/.222/.308 with one walk and nine strikeouts.

Playing little since activation Anderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Anderson was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, but he's started in just one of the Brewers' ensuing four games. When healthy this season, Anderson has handled a near-everyday role while moving between third base, the corner outfield and designated hitter, but he looks like he'll have to settle for part-time duty for the time being. Andruw Monasterio has settled in as the Brewers' main starter at the hot corner, while the trio of Christian Yelich, Mark Canha and Sal Frelick are operating as Milwaukee's primary options at the corner-outfield spots and DH.

Back from injured list Anderson (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Anderson has been on the shelf nearly three weeks with a back strain, but he'll rejoin Milwaukee's active roster Thursday after completing a two-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville. The 30-year-old had a strong start to the campaign but has struggled to a .568 OPS since the beginning of June.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for rehab assignment Anderson (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville this week, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Anderson landed on the 10-day injured list July 16 due to a back strain and will likely need to a few games in the minors to reagin his timing at the plate before the Brewers are comfortable activating him. Once he's reinstated from IL, Anderson could settle into an everyday role at either third base or designated hitter. Andruw Monasterio has performed capably at the hot corner in Anderson's stead, but the Brewers could make room for both players in the regular lineup by installing Monasterio at second base as a replacement for Brice Turang, who has largely underwhelmed with the bat since being called up from Triple-A in late June.

On track for August return Anderson (back) isn't expected to return from the injured list until early-to-mid August, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Anderson resumed hitting in the cage earlier this week, but he still has some hurdles to clear as he recovers from the lingering back issue that sent him to the IL on July 16. When healthy this season, the 30-year-old third baseman has slashed .229/.317/.373 with nine homers and 38 RBI in 85 games for the Brewers.

JULY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits in cage Anderson (back) hit in the cage Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact The next step is on-field batting practice, which Anderson should advance to on the Brewers' upcoming road trip, which begins this Friday. He was placed on the injured list just after the All-Star break because of lingering back discomfort.

Fields grounders Friday Anderson (back) took grounders in spikes Friday and he's nearing bat work, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Anderson was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a back strain, but he's started to slowly ramp up his activities ahead of his eventual return. Manager Craig Counsell said Friday that he doesn't expect Anderson to return before the team's next road trip, which starts July 28 in Atlanta.
