Anderson is hopeful to make his next start after exiting Sunday's game against Toronto with an ankle injury, Ron Kroichick of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson left the game after just 2.2 innings while trying to field a groundball off the bat of Randal Grichuk. The injury doesn't appear serious, as Anderson hopes to take the ball for his next scheduled start on Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Anderson left Sunday's game against the Blue Jays in the third inning with a sprained left ankle.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson left the game after trying to field a groundball off the bat of Randal Grichuk, though it is unclear how serious the injury is. He allowed two earned runs on four hits over 2.2 innings before his premature exit.

Anderson gave up two earned runs on two hits with two walks while striking out three through six innings in a no-decision against the Rangers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson actually allowed three runs to score, but the first run of the day occurred after an error from Matt Chapman allowed Delino DeShields to reach base in the first inning. The left-hander was in line for his fourth win of the season when he left the game, but the Oakland bullpen allowed five runs. The 31-year-old does not miss many bats, getting only six swinging strikes in this outing, but he continues to strand baserunners and give his team a chance to win. Anderson will look to get back into the win column in his next start Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Anderson (leg) has been cleared to start Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson departed his previous start Tuesday against the Orioles midway through the seventh inning after he experienced a cramp in his upper leg, but the issue never threatened his availability for the weekend. The lefty shouldn't face any limitations Sunday as he looks to claim his fourth win in as many starts.

Anderson (3-0) earned the win against the Orioles on Tuesday by giving up two runs on seven hits over 6.2 innings. He struck out four and walked one. Anderson was unable to finish the seventh inning as he started experiencing a cramp in his upper leg, but he appears to be okay, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old has enjoyed a strong start to the season with a 2.50 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB over 18 innings. Anderson is next scheduled to take the mound Monday at Texas.

Anderson (2-0) allowed three earned runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out three across 5.1 innings to earn the win Thursday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson wasn't very effective but was given enough run support to collect his second win of the season. He got off to a tough start, allowing two earned runs and four batters to reach base in the first inning. The only damage from there was a solo home run by J.D. Martinez in the third, though he wasn't able to pitch deep into the game after racking up 101 pitches through just 5.1 innings. Through two starts, Anderson has seven strikeouts and six walks across 11.1 innings.

Anderson (1-0) pitched six shutout frames, allowing three hits, during a victory against the Angels on Saturday. He also struck out four and walked two.

EDGE Analysis

He's been inconsistent in his last 10 MLB starts, but Anderson has actually pitched at least six shutout innings in five of his last 10 starts. During that stretch, which dates back to Aug. 3, he owns a 3.26 ERA. This has to be considered one of the best stretches of Anderson's career.

Anderson fired six scoreless innings in an exhibition win over the Giants on Sunday, allowing three hits and a walk while recording three strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's final tuneup for the regular season could hardly have gone better, as the veteran got plenty of work in while regularly flummoxing a Giants lineup stuffed with regulars. Chris Haft of MLB.com reports that Anderson needed an efficient 66 pitches to record his 18 outs, with 47 of those offerings finding the strike zone. Anderson needed more work in the bullpen after his exit due to how quickly he breezed through the outing, which served to lower his spring ERA to an impressive 2.87. Manager Bob Melvin is naturally very encouraged with his projected No. 3 starter's body of work during the exhibition slate, noting Anderson's physical and mental improvements. "It looks to me like he's pitching with more confidence," Melvin said. "He is in better shape. He's moving around better. You see him covering first and doing things that in the past may have been more of a challenge for him."

Anderson will draw the start in the Athletics' second Japan exhibition versus the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters on March 18, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran lefty's workload for that game is still to be determined, but manager Bob Melvin appears likely to treat it as a scheduled spring outing for Anderson in terms of pitch count. The 31-year-old struggled in his last start on Wednesday versus the Mariners, and he'll likely get another turn in Cactus League play early this week before the trip overseas.

Anderson, the Athletics' projected No. 4 starter, allowed two earned runs on four hits and a hit batsman over 3.1 innings in a 7-4 Cactus League win over the Mariners on Wednesday. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's one major gaffe came on a 2-1 pitch in the fourth to the hot-hitting Domingo Santana, who launched the offering for a solo home run. The veteran southpaw was sharper in his first spring start Feb. 28, notching a victory against the Cubs courtesy of a three-inning scoreless outing in which he allowed just two hits and a walk while recording three strikeouts. Anderson was a serviceable addition to the rotation last season in the wake of injuries to Jharel Cotton (elbow) and Sean Manaea (shoulder), and with both pitchers still firmly on the mend, he projects for an extended run as a starter again this season.
