Anderson (neck) is listed as the probable starter for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was diagnosed with a cervical strain after exiting Monday's game with a neck injury. It would not have been surprising to see him land on the injured list, especially given his track record, but he told Slusser that the extra day off before his next start will help. Anderson has a 3.86 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 10 strikeouts in 23.1 innings over four May starts.

Anderson left Monday night's game against the Indians with a cervical strain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson left the contest with one out in the sixth inning Monday, and after further evaluation, it's been determined that he suffered a cervical strain. A timeline for his return has yet to be revealed.

Anderson exited Monday night's game against the Indians with an apparent neck injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. He left in line for the victory, allowing one run on four hits and striking out one over 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson looked to suffer the injury earlier in the contest while trying to avoid a broken bat, though he managed to stay in the game until the sixth inning before leaving with the team trainer. The extent of the lefty's injury is unknown at this time.

Anderson (4-3) took the loss against Seattle on Tuesday, tossing six innings and giving up four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty was victimized by three long balls against the homer-happy Mariners. On a positive note, Anderson's five strikeouts were a season high and he made it through six innings for his third straight outing. He'll head to Cleveland to face the Indians in his next start Monday.

Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Reds, giving up four runs on five hits and five walks over six innings. He failed to strike out a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran southpaw was the opposite of dominant, managing only four swinging strikes among his 96 pitches (54 total strikes), but after a four-run second inning Anderson was able to keep Cincy off the board. He'll take a 4.19 ERA and 22:19 K:BB through 43 frames into his next start Monday in Seattle.

Anderson (4-2) allowed one run on four hits with four strikeouts and two walks across six innings in a victory against the Pirates on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Pirates actually scored first against Anderson, but then the Athletics gave their starter 14 unanswered runs in support. Anderson didn't need most of them, as he turned in his best start since March 30. He allowed just four runners to reach base after the first inning, and when two other Pirates reached on errors, Anderson worked around his defense's mistakes without allowing any damage. Anderson is 4-2 with a 3.89 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 22 strikeouts in 37 innings this season. He will look to build upon this strong outing in his next start against the Reds at home Thursday.

Anderson (3-2) allowed six runs on 10 hits with two strikeouts and two walks across 4.1 innings in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays shelled Anderson, as he allowed a season-high in runs and hits Saturday. Anderson had a pretty strong start to the year, but because of this performance, his numbers rose significantly. Anderson is now 3-2 with a 4.35 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 18 strikeouts in 31 innings. His next start will be on the road Friday against the Pirates.

Anderson (ankle) will start as expected Saturday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson left his previous start after spraining his left ankle, but reports from the time of the injury suggested his next start likely wouldn't be at risk. He is indeed ready to go and will look to improve on his 3-1 record and 3.04 ERA against Toronto.

Anderson (ankle) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everything went off without a hitch, and Anderson said afterward that he doesn't anticipate his injured ankle keeping him from taking the mound Friday in Toronto. The veteran southpaw has been sharp through five outings this season, going 3-1 with a 3.04 ERA and 1.28 WHIP across 26.2 innings.

Anderson (ankle) was pain-free Monday and manager Bob Melvin is optimistic the left-hander will make his next scheduled start Saturday against the Blue Jays, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was some concern in the immediate aftermath of the industry that Anderson could miss at least one start, but that now appears less likely given the ankle actually improved overnight. The southpaw has been a key part of the rotation thus far, forging a 3-1 record, 3.04 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 26.2 innings over five starts.
