Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Brett Anderson (forearm) is currently listed to start against the Orioles on Thursday. Anderson hasn't pitched since Aug. 27, but he immediately is on the streaming radar against the worst team in baseball. The left-hander doesn't strike out many (4.7 K/9) but those in deeper leagues will surely have worse options than the southpaw.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Brett Anderson (forearm) responded well after throwing three 15-pitch innings in a simulated game on Monday. Manager Bob Melvin said the left-hander is being considered to start either Wednesday or Thursday against the Orioles. Anderson lacks many strikeouts (4.7 K/9), but he has been decent for the A's with a 4.02 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 13 starts in 2018. A matchup against the lowly Orioles will make him an intriguing streamer.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Brett Anderson (forearm) had a successful bullpen session on Wednesday, and he will throw a simulated game on Saturday, according to manager Bob Melvin. If he comes out of Saturday's session without any setbacks, he could return and start on the team's next road trip. While Anderson lacks much fantasy upside because of his lack of K's (4.7 K/9), he has been good for Oakland and has a 4.02 ERA and 1.25 [...]

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Brett Anderson (forearm) might throw three innings off a mound on Monday. The left-hander might not miss a ton of time after being put on the disabled list last week. Anderson is 3-4 with a 4.02 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 34 strikeouts in 65 innings over 13 starts for the A's this year. He could be a streaming option in deeper leagues down the stretch.

Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin said starting pitcher Brett Anderson (forearm) is feeling better, and the left-hander could resume playing catch ahead of schedule. It's good news for Anderson, but he should still miss at least a week of action and maybe more. The southpaw has been surprisingly good for the A's this year, going 3-4 with a 4.02 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 34 strikeouts in 65 innings over 13 starts. However, it doesn't look like he'll offer up much fantasy value the rest of the way.

The Oakland Athletics placed starting pitcher Brett Anderson (forearm) on the disabled list on Tuesday with a left forearm strain. The southpaw was having a good year for the A's but was lit up by the Astros for five runs in 2 2/3 innings on Monday. Overall, he's 3-4 with a 4.02 ERA, 1.25 [...]

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster and you can't drop anyone. But for those of us with a couple of guys on the roster fringes, it's never too early to look into targeting a specific player or two to [...]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: After twirling 7 ⅔ scoreless innings against the Mariners in his previous start, Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Brett Anderson needed just 93 pitches to blank the Rangers over seven innings of work. He allowed just one hit and one walk, which brings his post-injury WHIP below 1.00 and his ERA down to 2.11. That said, the biggest surprise might be his six strikeouts, as he had punched out just 19 across 40 inni[...]
