Anderson agreed to a one-year contract with the Athletics on Monday, Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The exact details surrounding the deal have yet to be released, but it's been reported that Andeson will join the Athletics on a major-league contract upon passing his physical, per Slusser. Anderson started 17 games for the A's a season ago, compiling a 4.48 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with 47 punchouts over 80.1 frames. The left-hander appears to be in a good position to lock down a spot in the starting rotation assuming he can stay healthy, something he's struggled with in the past.

Anderson gave up two earned runs on four hits while striking out five across three innings in Sunday's loss to the Angels. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander allowed a two-run home run in the first inning before setting down for the remainder of his brief outing. With the Athletics looking ahead toward the postseason, manager Bob Melvin kept Anderson on a limited pitch count during the regular season finale. In 17 starts this year, Anderson tallied a 4.48 ERA with 47 strikeouts over 80.1 innings.

Anderson allowed five runs on seven hits while striking out three over 2.1 innings in Tuesday's extra-innings loss to the Mariners. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Oakland's offense provided Anderson with a 3-0 lead before he took the mound in the first, and then again with a 6-3 advantage in the second inning, but the 30-year-old squandered both leads. The southpaw was taken deep for a three-run shot in the first inning by Nelson Cruz and a solo homer in the third by Jean Segura before leaving while recording just seven outs. The outing pushed up his ERA nearly a half run to 4.42, but he'll get a chance to bounce back against the Angels in the regular season finale Sunday.

Anderson will get the start Tuesday against Seattle, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was initially expected to take the hill Monday in the series opener, but Daniel Mengden will start instead. Anderson owns a 3.96 ERA with 39 strikeouts over 75 innings this season.

Anderson (4-5) got the win Wednesday, shutting out the Angels over 6.2 innings with three strikeouts while allowing three hits without a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson wasn't particularly overpowering in this one, inducing just five swinging strikes while throwing 48 of 82 pitches for strikes, but he was able to scatter a trio of singles to stifle the Angels. Since the start of August, the southpaw has gone 6.2 innings without allowing a run four times, lowering his ERA to 3.96. Next up is a road tilt in Seattle on Monday.

Anderson (3-5) suffered the loss Thursday night against the Orioles, allowing four earned runs, seven hits and one walk while striking out two over 3.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson made his first start after a trip to the disabled list, and he only managed to throw 59 pitches in the short outing. All seven of the hits he allowed were singles, and he allowed a pair of runs in both the first and fourth frames. His ERA now sits at 4.35 for the season, and he'll look to bounce back in his next scheduled start planned for Wednesday against the Angels.

Anderson (forearm) was activated from the 10-day disabled list ahead of his scheduled start against the Orioles on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson is set to rejoin the rotation after spending a little more than two weeks on the shelf with a forearm strain. The veteran southpaw will look to pick up where he left off prior to suffering the injury, as he owns an impressive 2.83 ERA and 0.90 WHIP through seven second-half starts.

Anderson (forearm) is listed as the starter Thursday against the Orioles, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson hit the disabled list in late August with a left forearm strain. If he's indeed able to return Thursday, he'll wind up missing just over two weeks. He was able to throw 45 pitches in a simulated game Sunday without setbacks.

Anderson (forearm) experienced no setbacks Sunday following his 45-pitch simulated game Saturday and is being considered to start either Wednesday or Thursday versus the Orioles, Michael Wagaman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Bob Melvin had indicated Saturday that how Anderson felt Sunday would largely dictate the path forward for the veteran southpaw. With Anderson having apparently emerged from his workload without any complications, he's poised to make a return just a few days over the minimum 10 days his disabled list stint required.

Anderson got threw a 45-pitch simulated game without setbacks Saturday, Michael Wagaman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran southpaw threw 15 pitches per inning as planned and felt good immediately afterwards. Manager Bob Melvin indicated that the process was certainly a step in the right direction, but added that how Anderson felt Sunday would largely determine whether he'd be activated during the team's upcoming road trip.
