Anderson was extended a qualifying offer by the Dodgers on Friday, Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off a back injury that cut short his 2014 season, Anderson had a strong comeback season, working to a 3.69. Perhaps more importantly, he finally stayed healthy, as he pitched more than 100 innings for just the third time in his career and made more than 20 starts for the first time since his rookie season. The 27-year-old earned $10 million as a free agent last season, but should get more than that this year after putting together a productive, and healthy, season.

Anderson (10-9) took home a win in his final regular-season start of the year Thursday, holding the Giants to two runs on four hits while striking out three without a walk over 7.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
After giving up 11 runs on 20 hits in 8.2 innings over his last two starts, Anderson settled down with a strong effort to close out the year, as he allowed just two hits over seven scoreless innings of work before losing it a bit in the eighth. Despite generally being his typical rather hittable self all year long -- he gave up 194 base knocks this season -- Anderson set new career bests in starts (31) and innings (180.1) in his first healthy campaign since his rookie season of 2009. We'll see him next in the playoffs.

Anderson served up five runs on 10 hits and a walk in Monday's loss to the Diamondbacks. His struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson didn't have it Monday, as he drew just one swing and miss and served up a pair of home runs, his 16th and 17th of the year. Anderson had given up no more than three runs in any of his past six starts, a stretch in which he had a 3.6 ERA and a strong 24:8 K:BB. His full season ERA is up to 3.52.

Anderson allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits over six innings in a no decision Tuesday against the Rockies. He struck out seven and didn't walk a batter.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson showed no signs of ill effect from a calf injury that cut his previous start short. Seven strikeouts marks his most in a start without a walk this year, besting his previous mark of five set August 21 against Houston. Anderson now has a 111:44 K:BB to go with his 3.35 ERA.

Anderson (calf) has been confirmed as Tuesday's starter against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Anderson will take the mound opposite Chris Rusin after his last outing ended a bit prematurely as a result of a calf cramp. Anderson has dealt with some minor issues this season but has been healthy for the most part, totaling 158 innings in his 27 starts to this point, his most since his rookie year in 2009.

Anderson (calf) is slated to start Tuesday against the Rockies, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was diagnosed with a calf cramp after leaving his last outing prematurely, and the expectation was that Anderson would be fine to make his next start. It appears he will in fact not miss a full turn in the rotation, but the Dodgers will push Anderson back a few days to be safe, and give Mike Bolsinger another opportunity to start this weekend in Arizona.

Anderson (calf cramp) is expected to make his next start, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was removed from Sunday's game against the Padres in the sixth inning due to a cramp in his calf, after allowing one run on four hits and four walks, with four strikeouts. He picked up his ninth win of the season, and the Dodgers expect him to be fine for Saturday's scheduled start in Arizona.

Anderson left Sunday's game with a left calf cramp, David Vassegh of 570 AM Los Angeles reports.
EDGE Analysis
The often-injured Anderson gave Dodgers fans a scare with what was originally reported by some as a calf strain, but he looks to have dodged the bullet here. Considering that it was only a cramp, the left-hander should be OK to make his next scheduled start.

Anderson took a no decision Monday against the Giants as he allowed three runs on six hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson pounded the zone as he has all season, and it took some rough luck on an infield single in the third inning for the Giants to get to him. His streak of three consecutive quality starts is snapped, but he still owns a solid 3.43 ERA and a 100:40 K:BB in 152.1 innings.

Anderson (8-8) evened his record with 6.2 solid innings Wednesday in Cincinnati, giving up three unearned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
He almost got out of this with a much shinier line, but Chase Utley's seventh-inning error led to all three runs. Even so, Anderson's been a solid -- if certainly unspectacular -- member of the Dodgers' rotation and should continue along much the same lines, assuming he remains healthy -- he hasn't pitched this many innings in six years.
