Anderson wasn't included on Milwaukee's roster for the NLDS, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not exactly a major surprise, as Milwaukee rolled with a six-man rotation for most of the season, and Anderson was the weakest link of that unit. Still, it was a solid season for the veteran left-hander, who had a 4.22 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 58:28 K:BB over 96 innings (24 starts). Anderson is unlikely to join the roster for any further playoff rounds unless the Brewers suffer some pitching injuries.

Anderson started Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Dodgers, allowing one hit in a scoreless first inning to receive a no-decision.

EDGE Analysis

With the NL Central already clinched, manager Craig Counsell opted to go with the veteran Anderson for one inning to begin Sunday's game after the 33-year-old tossed 61 pitches Thursday. Anderson concludes the 2021 season with a 4-9 record in 24 starts with a 4.22 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 58:28 K:BB across 96 innings.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Anderson will start Sunday against the Dodgers in what amounts to a bullpen day for Milwaukee, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will be returning to the mound on just two days' rest after he threw 61 pitches and covered five innings Thursday in St. Louis. The southpaw will likely be in store for an even lighter workload in the regular-season finale, rendering him an unappealing streaming option for fantasy managers hoping that he might be able to scoop up a win.

Anderson allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two across five innings during Thursday's loss to the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Making his second start since his return from the injured list with a left shoulder contusion, Anderson did his duty to keep the Brewers in the game, but his offense failed to provide enough run support. It was a decent bounce-back performance for the 33-year-old, who finishes the regular season 4-9 with a 4.26 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 23 outings. His postseason status remains unclear at this point.

Anderson (4-9) allowed two earned runs on six hits and one walk through 1.2 innings, taking the loss in Wednesday's 10-2 defeat to the Cardinals. He did not record a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

In his first start since suffering a left shoulder contusion on Sept. 1 against the Giants, it was Anderson's ego that was bruised Wednesday night. Although the left-hander only had two earned runs charged to his name, six Cardinals crossed home under his watch. The big blow came from Tyler O'Neill, who smacked a two-run shot off Anderson in the first. While the 33-year-old has been a serviceable pitcher for the Brewers this season, the lack of strikeouts in his game (four or fewer in 21 of 22 starts) render him a tough play in most fantasy formats.

Anderson (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's start against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was on the injured list since Sept. 1 due to a left shoulder contusion, but he'll rejoin the Brewers' rotation Wednesday without a rehab assignment. The southpaw has made eight appearances since the All-Star break and has recorded a 3.96 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 36.1 innings during that time.

Anderson (shoulder) will be activated from the 10-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Cardinals, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported earlier in the week that Anderson was trending toward being activated for Wednesday's start, and now the club has confirmed that will indeed be the case. Anderson hasn't pitched since suffering a left shoulder contusion during his Sept. 1 outing against San Francisco, but he's slated to return to a big-league mound without going on a rehab assignment. The veteran southpaw will be resuming his campaign with a 4.18 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 56:26 K:BB through 88.1 innings.

Anderson (shoulder) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list Wednesday to start the third game of the Brewers' home series with the Cardinals, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milwaukee has yet to confirm that Anderson will take the hill that day to make his first start since Sept. 1, but the southpaw looks to be tracking toward a return after completing a bullpen session earlier in the weekend. Because he hasn't completed a simulated game or minor-league rehab outing, Anderson could be in store for a lighter workload than usual if he rejoins the rotation Wednesday. Before landing on the shelf with a bruised left shoulder, Anderson compiled a 4-8 record, 4.18 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 21 starts.

Anderson (shoulder) simulated multiple innings in a bullpen session on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Craig Counsell said the club is still pondering whether to put the southpaw back in the starting rotation or have him throw another bullpen first. If they decide on the first option, Anderson would likely take the ball at some point during the upcoming series against the Cardinals. The Brewers should clarify their pitching plans in the coming days.

Anderson was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder contusion Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson left Wednesday's game against the Giants early after he was struck by a line drive on the left shoulder, and the injury will force him to miss at least one turn through the rotation. The southpaw also dealt with hip and calf issues in August, but it's not yet clear how much time he'll be forced to miss due to his shoulder contusion. Alec Bettinger was recalled by the Brewers on Thursday, but the team hasn't announced who will take Anderson's place in the rotation.
