Lands on IL with shoulder injury The Angels placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right shoulder inflammation.

Impact The injury may have cropped during his last outing against the Marlins on Sunday, when he allowed six runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two in one inning. A minimum stint on the IL would have Anderson back in action in late August, though he'll undergo more tests on his throwing shoulder to help shape a recovery timeline. Sammy Peralta's contract was selected by the Angels from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Contract selected The Angels selected Anderson's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Impact Anderson held a 5.94 ERA and 12:8 K:BB over 16.2 frames with the Angels earlier this season. He'll be tasked with eating innings in long relief for the out-of-contention Halos.

Signs minor-league deal with Angels Anderson and the Angels agreed on a minor-league contract Tuesday.

Impact Anderson will return to the Angels organization after electing to become a free agent Sunday following the team's decision to designate him for assignment earlier in the week. Anderson has posted a 4.30 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with 25 strikeouts over seven appearances, including four starts, with Triple-A Salt Lake this year.

JUNE 9 • ROTOWIRE

Headed for free agency Anderson elected free agency Sunday after clearing waivers.

Impact Anderson was dropped from the Angels' 40-man roster Friday for the second time this season, and after going unclaimed, he'll once again elect to test his options on the open market. The 31-year-old righty could end up finding his way back to the Angels on a minor-league deal, in which case he would likely fill a swingman role at Triple-A Salt Lake. Before his brief stint in the big leagues earlier this month, Anderson had logged a 4.30 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 23 innings over seven appearances (four starts) with Salt Lake.

JUNE 8 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Halos The Angels designated Anderson for assignment Friday.

Impact It's the second time this season that Anderson has been DFA'd by the Angels, with the first instance taking place in late April. He proceeded to ink a minor-league contract to return to the Angels and his contract was selected by the big club Wednesday, but he is being booted off the big club's 40-man roster again. The move corresponds with Los Angeles selecting Samy Natera's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake.

JUNE 5 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected The Angels selected Anderson's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Impact Since being demoted to Triple-A in late April, Anderson has posted a 4.30 ERA and 1.61 WHIP alongside a 25:11 K:BB across 23 innings. Although his performance hasn't exactly been outstanding, the Angels will bring him back onto the active roster to give the team a fresh arm in the bullpen, replacing Sam Aldegheri. Travis d'Arnaud (foot) was transferred to the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster.

JUNE 3 • ROTOWIRE

Inks minor-league deal with Angels Anderson and the Angels agreed on a minor-league contract Thursday.

Impact Anderson elected free agency Tuesday after being designated for assignment by the Angels earlier in the week, but he will now return to the organization on a minor-league deal. The right-hander made nine appearances with the Angels before being let go, compiling an inflated 5.94 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 12 strikeouts over 16.2 innings. He will now look to get into a rhythm with Triple-A Salt Lake in an attempt to potentially get another look with the big-league club later this year.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Elects free agency Anderson elected to become a free agent Tuesday.

Impact Anderson cleared waivers after being removed from the Angels' 40-man roster over the weekend. He could re-sign on a minor-league debut, but the righty is free to negotiate with all teams.

Designated for assignment The Angels designated Anderson for assignment Sunday.

Impact The Halos selected Anderson's contract in late March, but he won't stick on the 26-man or 40-man rosters after surrendering 11 earned runs over his first 16.2 frames of 2026. The right-hander has never found consistent success in the majors with a 6.35 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across parts of seven big-league campaigns.

Contract selected The Angels selected Anderson's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Impact The right-hander re-signed with the Angels on a minor-league contract in January, and it didn't take long for him to make it to the majors this season. Anderson struggled in seven big-league appearances last year, giving up 13 earned runs with an 11:3 K:BB over 11.1 innings.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Re-ups with Halos The Angels re-signed Anderson to a minor-league contract Dec. 22.

Impact Anderson made seven relief appearances for the Angels in 2025, yielding 13 runs with an 11:3 K:BB over 11.1 frames. The 31-year-old spent most of the season in the rotation at Triple-A Salt Lake, and he'll likely do the same in 2026.

Back with Angels Anderson signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Friday.

Impact Anderson elected to test free agency after clearing waivers Thursday, but he'll quickly reunite with the Angels after just a day on the open market. The 30-year-old righty owns an unsightly 10.32 ERA and 2.03 WHIP through 11.1 innings in the majors and isn't likely to make an impact with the big club if he makes it back to Anaheim before the season ends.

Back with Angels Anderson signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Friday.

AUGUST 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Opts for free agency Anderson cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency.

Impact Anderson lost his spot in the Angels' bullpen after giving up four earned runs in just two-thirds of an inning Monday against the Dodgers, inflating his ERA to 10.32 through 11.1 frames. Now a free agent, the 30-year-old right-hander will most likely have to settle for a minor-league deal to secure another job elsewhere.

AUGUST 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cut loose by Angels The Angels designated Anderson for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Anderson surrendered four earned runs on four hits and recorded just two outs in his appearance Monday versus the Dodgers. He had been selected from Triple-A Salt Lake just prior to the game. In a corresponding move Tuesday, the Angels recalled Victor Mederos.

AUGUST 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Called up by Halos The Angels selected Anderson's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Impact Anderson could be part of the Angels' rotation with Jack Kochanowicz being optioned to Triple-A following his start against the Tigers on Sunday, when he allowed seven runs (six earned) across three innings. Anderson was DFA'd by the Angels in mid-June but opted to stick around on a minor-league deal, and he has posted a 3.60 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 13:0 K:BB in 20 innings over his last three starts in with Salt Lake.
