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.

Hit hard in third loss Anderson (2-3) allowed two runs on four hits while retiring only two batters in relief to take the loss Sunday against the White Sox.

Impact After Detroit starter Keider Montero tossed six scoreless innings, Anderson came on in the seventh and got into some trouble. He retired the first batter he faced but then served up a solo home run to Colson Montgomery. Chicago proceeded to rattle off three more hits in a row to plate another run before Anderson got the hook with the Tigers trailing 2-1. The righty has allowed four runs (three earned) over his last two appearances, which has pushed his ERA from 3.44 up to 4.03, and he was charged with the loss in both outings as well.

Tagged with loss, blown save Anderson (2-2) was tagged with the loss and a blown save in Friday's extra-inning loss to the White Sox. He allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit over two-thirds of an inning. H...

Impact Anderson entered the game with a 3-2 lead in the 10th inning and quickly retired Sam Antonacci and Derek Hill. But with one out to get the job done, Anderson allowed a walk-off two-run homer to Miguel Vargas. Anderson has gone 2-for-3 in save chances this season but should continue in the late-inning mix, especially considering Kyle Finnegan's recent struggles, as long as Kenley Jansen (pelvis) remains sidelined. Despite this outing, Anderson is having a strong season with career-best marks in both ERA (3.62) and WHIP (1.18) through 37.1 innings in 2026.

Grabs two-inning save Anderson allowed a hit and two walks while striking out four over two scoreless innings to earn the save in a 4-1 win over the Orioles in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.

Impact Anderson started his previous outing, pitching 4.2 scoreless innings versus the Guardians on Wednesday. He had previously worked as a multi-inning reliever this season. He's had mixed results with a 3.74 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 42:16 K:BB through 33.2 innings over 17 appearances (one start). He's been better lately, allowing just four runs (three earned) over his last 18.2 innings. Anderson looks poised to return to the bullpen moving forward, and he's unlikely to be among the top choices for high-leverage work in most situations, though he has earned two saves and two holds this season.

Sharp in first start Anderson didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Guardians, allowing two hits and two walks over 4.2 scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

Impact Making his first start of the season, Anderson was limited to 63 pitches, but he certainly made the most of them, blanking the Guardians while logging a career-high seven strikeouts. After giving up 10 runs in his first 11.1 innings this year, Anderson has posted a sparkling 1.77 ERA over his last nine appearances (20.1 innings). The 32-year-old Anderson certainly seems to have earned another look in Detroit's rotation after Wednesday's outing -- he'd currently line up for a home matchup with the Angels.

MAY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed for start Wednesday Anderson will be the Tigers' starting pitcher in Wednesday's game versus the Guardians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact It will be Anderson's first start at the major-league level since 2021. The 32-year-old has offered a mixed bad in a long relief role this season, posting a bloated 4.67 ERA but with a 31:12 K:BB across 27 frames. Anderson went four innings and threw 46 pitches in his last outing, so he will have a limited workload against the Guardians. Though Anderson could earn additional starts, Troy Melton (elbow) is also a candidate to enter the rotation soon.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Effective in bulk role Friday Anderson tossed four scoreless innings of relief in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays. He allowed a hit and struck out one.

Impact With Detroit going to a bullpen game, Anderson was needed to cover the most innings in relief, and he was up to the task. It was the longest outing of the year for the righty, who's been good this month with a 2.70 ERA and 12 strikeouts across 10 innings. Overall, Anderson has a 4.67 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 27 innings this year, and he should stick in a long-relief role for the Tigers.
