Anderson (1-1) allowed two runs on five hits while striking out five across six innings to earn the victory Saturday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson gave up a two-run homer to Miguel Cabrera in the first inning before silencing the Tigers bats the rest of the way. In his three starts since being acquired from the Cubs, he's posted a 3.06 ERA, and is looking like a player who will help fantasy managers down the stretch. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Twins.

Anderson allowed three runs on seven hits while striking out three batters through six innings during Sunday's loss to Baltimore. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson held the Red Sox to a single run through 5.2 innings in his first start for the Jays, so this was a solid follow-up. The veteran lefty has been a serviceable fantasy asset in the past, and he should remain in the Toronto rotation as long as he's pitching well. As a result, Anderson's value is on the rise, and he could provide a boost over the final weeks of the year. He projects to face the Tigers at the Rogers Centre in his next outing.

Anderson (2-3) turned in a strong Blue Jays debut -- one run in 5.2 innings -- but still absorbed the loss in a shutout defeat at the hands of the Red Sox on Tuesday. He struck out three without a walk while allowing six hits.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first start in the majors since May 6, Anderson was sharp, but Chris Sale was a monster on the other side. It's been an ugly season for Anderson, who has been limited to eight starts by a back injury and was released by the Cubs earlier this month, but perhaps a fresh start with Toronto was just what he needed. Still, expectations for the oft-injured lefty should remain in check.

Anderson had his contract selected from Triple-A Buffalo and will start Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson is set to make his first start for the Blue Jays after joining the team on a minor-league contract earlier in the month. The 29-year-old has started a pair of games for Triple-A Buffalo since being acquired by Toronto, allowing just one run over a combined 9.2 innings in those outings. It may be unwise to expect similar results in the majors however, seeing as he struggled to an unsightly 8.18 ERA and 2.09 WHIP in 22 innings (six starts) with the Cubs earlier in the season before injuring his back. Leonol Campos was sent to the minors to clear room on the roster for Anderson.

Anderson will start Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has started two games at Triple-A Buffalo since being acquired by the Blue Jays. Between those two games he's pitched 9.2 innings and allowed just one run. However, he hasn't been as fortunate in the majors this season, where he owns an 8.18 ERA and 2.09 WHIP after six outings. He'll have a tough matchup for his Toronto debut, as he'll face a high-powered Red Sox offense.

Anderson agreed to a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays on Monday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move is pending a physical, which could be an issue seeing as Anderson was on the 60-day DL earlier in the year with a back issue. If everything checks out with his physical, he'll likely start out with Triple-A Buffalo as he tries to work his way into the big-league rotation. Anderson struggled with the Cubs earlier in the year, posting an 8.18 ERA across six starts before landing on the disabled list.

Anderson was released by the Cubs on Wednesday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran left-hander was designated for assignment on July 26, and given his wealth of MLB experience, it comes as no surprise that he didn't accept the outright assignment. He'll look to latch on with a team in need of a back-end starter, although a minor-league contract may be more likely in his case given his rough 8.18 ERA in the Cubs' rotation this season.

The Cubs activated Anderson (back) from the 60-day disabled list Wednesday and designated him for assignment, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

It seems Anderson has been over the back injury for quite some time, as he had just completed his sixth rehab start with Double-A Tennessee on July 20, working up to six innings in that outing. Despite seemingly being back to full strength, Anderson struggled to a 4.67 ERA and 1.59 WHIP during those rehab starts, and with no spot for him in the big-league rotation following the recent acquisition of Jose Quintana, the Cubs decided to cut bait with the injury-prone lefty. Anderson's modest one-year contract and solid career track record may prompt a club to roll the dice on him via trade or a waiver pickup, but if he resurfaces in another rotation, he'll probably need to show improved performance before those in deeper mixed or only leagues can invest in him with much confidence.

Anderson (back) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Tennessee on Sunday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson continues to slowly work his way back from a back injury that has kept him on the shelf since early May. Seeing as he's been sidelined for such an extended period of time, he'll likely need to make multiple rehab starts before being ready to rejoin the big club.

Anderson (back) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Thursday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move to the 60-day disabled list opens a spot on the 40-man roster for Seth Frankoff, whose contract was selected in a corresponding move. Fortunately, there is no reported setback accompanying Anderson's move over to the 60-day DL, so his timetable for a return isn't greatly affected. Anderson has been on the shelf since early-May, so a return shortly before the All-Star break remains a possibility.
