Tigers Offense Fails Drew Anderson in Series Loss to Royals The Detroit Tigers dropped their most recent series to their American League Central rival the Kansas City Royals on Saturday 3-1.

1 DAY AGO • SI.COM

Responsible for loss Saturday Anderson (4-5) picked up the loss after allowing three runs on five hits and one walk. He struck out four.

Impact Anderson matched his season-high with five innings of work Saturday. The 32-year-old was a victim of the long ball after allowing solo home runs to both Kyle Isbel and Salvador Perez. After recording his sixth start, Anderson now owns a 4.09 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 91:30 K:BB over 81.1 innings. The right-hander is expected to toe the slab next Saturday against the Dodgers.

Goes season-high five innings Anderson did not factor into the decision Sunday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings.

Impact Anderson delivered his longest outing of the season, though he still tossed just 74 pitches while generating 10 whiffs. The right-hander continues to provide Detroit with needed rotation depth amid numerous injuries and has performed well while starting in each of his last three appearances, allowing four runs across 12.2 innings. Anderson owns a 4.01 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 87:29 K:BB over 76.1 innings this season. He's slated to face the Royals on Saturday in his next start, and he could be given the opportunity to pitch deeper into that outing.

Still not fully stretched out Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Guardians, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out four.

Impact The right-hander pitched well and tossed a season-high 70 pitches (44 for strikes), but Anderson continues to face workload restrictions as a member of the rotation. Over two starts since having his role changed last week, he's worked just 7.2 innings but has given up only one run with a 4:3 K:BB. Jack Flaherty (forearm) remains in his throwing progression and has no target date for his return, while Justin Verlander (hamstring) has yet to throw off a mound and River Ryan (hamstring) is still on the IL at Triple-A, so Anderson will continue patching the hole in the Tigers' rotation for the foreseeable future. He's set to make his next start at home this weekend against the White Sox, and he might get enough leeway to qualify for a win.

Steady in start Anderson allowed three hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over 3.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Wednesday.

Impact Anderson last pitched Sunday, so he wasn't on full rest. The right-hander is poised to stretch out as a starter for the rest of the season after the Tigers shipped out Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize ahead of Monday's trade deadline. Anderson has primarily worked as a reliever this season, pitching to a 4.01 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 78:25 K:BB through 67.1 innings over 41 games (three starts). While this was a fairly promising performance, Anderson won't be much of a factor in fantasy until he gets into the 70-80 pitch range and shows an ability to work at least five innings consistently to give himself a chance of collecting wins. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Guardians, but it'll take at least a couple more turns through the rotation before he's stretched out enough to contend for wins.

Will start Wednesday Anderson will start Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact With Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize shipped out of town at the trade deadline, the Tigers need to fill some rotation spots, and Anderson will begin the transition to starting pitcher. The 32-year-old has pitched almost exclusively out of the bullpen this season, posting a 4.24 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 78:24 K:BB across 63.2 innings. It's unclear if he'll remain in the rotation once Jack Flaherty (forearm) returns from the injured list.

Charged with blown save Wednesday Anderson allowed two runs on a hit and a walk across 1.1 innings of relief and was charged with a blown save in Wednesday's 10-9, extra-innings loss to the Orioles. He struck out t...

Impact Detroit starter Tarik Skubal left the game with two outs in the seventh inning, and Kyle Finnegan and Anderson proceeded to allow a total of four runs while only retiring four batters combined. For Anderson, the subpar outing saddled him with his sixth blown save of the season. The righty now has a 4.33 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 62.1 innings this year, and he remains a middling fantasy option due to his role in the middle of Detroit's bullpen without a clear path to saves or wins.

Fans five in short spot start Anderson allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus Houston on Monday.

Impact Anderson opened what was essentially a bullpen game for the Tigers after Troy Melton was scratched due to a back issue. Anderson gave Detroit 59 pitches, though that got him through only 2.2 frames. The right-hander didn't have his best control, throwing just 34 of those 59 pitches for strikes, but he also logged nine whiffs and held the Astros to a lone run. Anderson will likely return to the bullpen moving forward, as both Casey Mize (adductor) and Justin Verlander (hip) appear to be on the verge of returning from stints on the injured list.

Making spot start Anderson will start a bullpen game for the Tigers on Monday in Houston, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Troy Melton (back) had to be scratched from his scheduled start. Anderson tossed 4.2 scoreless frames in a spot start earlier this season and has often covered multiple innings out of the Tigers' bullpen this season. However, he recorded three or fewer outs in six of his last seven outings and will be pitching on two days' rest, so Anderson won't last long Monday.
