Drew Anderson - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Stuck with loss Tuesday Anderson (4-6) took the loss Tuesday as the Tigers were downed 3-2 by the Twins, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact Detroit took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning on a Kevin McGonigle homer, but Anderson gave it right back in the top of the sixth by serving up a two-run shot to Kody Clemens on his final pitch of the night. Anderson has lasted at least five innings in four of his last five outings, posting a 3.51 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 23:13 K:BB in 25.2 innings over that stretch, but he remains the most likely candidate to lose his rotation spot if Jack Flaherty (forearm) is cleared to return before the end of the year. Anderson lines up to make his next start on the road early next week in Toronto.

Steady results continue Anderson took a no-decision against the Twins on Wednesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Impact The right-hander continues to give the Tigers serviceable work since joining the rotation following the Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize trades. Anderson has tallied at least four punchouts in six consecutive starts, giving up three runs or fewer each time out. He also threw a season-high 90 pitches Wednesday, suggesting he's ready to handle a full starter's workload going forward. Anderson is set to bring a season 3.73 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 101:37 K:BB over 91.2 innings into a home rematch with Minnesota.

Shaky control in Friday's no-decision Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers, giving up four hits and five walks over 4.2 scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Impact The right-hander left the bump with the Tigers ahead 1-0, but Anderson didn't last long enough to qualify for the win in an inefficient performance -- although his bullpen eventually made that a moot point. Anderson did toss a season-high 89 pitches (54 strikes), and he's reached 70 pitches in four straight starts, posting a 3.37 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB over 18.2 innings. Detroit is currently running a six-man rotation following the promotion of rookie Andrew Sears, and Jack Flaherty (forearm) has begun ramping up in his recovery, so Anderson will need to keep pitching well to hang onto his spot. He lines up to make his next outing on the road next week in Minnesota.

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.
