Anderson (finger) won't make his scheduled start Friday as the game was postponed after the Cardinals produced multiple positive tests for COVID-19, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was set to be activated off the 10-day injured list Friday, but it appears that transaction will have to wait for another day. According to Anne Rogers of MLB.com, the game is scheduled to be made up as part of a doubleheader Sunday, and Saturday's contest is expected to be played, so the veteran left-hander should still make his season debut sometime this weekend. The Brewers haven't officially announced their rotation plans, so it's unclear if he'll just be pushed back a day or if he'll pitch during the twin bill.

Anderson (finger) will start Friday against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has dealt with a blister on his left index finger since being removed from an intrasquad matchup prior to the regular season, but manager Craig Counsell confirmed Tuesday that he'll be able to return from the injured list when he's first eligible Friday. The southpaw logged a 3.89 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 176 innings across 31 starts with the Brewers last season.

Anderson (finger) could start Friday's game against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson began the season on the 10-day injured list due to a blister on his left index finger, but he's been able to continue throwing while he's recovered. Manager Craig Counsell said Monday that there's a "pretty good chance" Anderson will be able to pitch when he's first eligible to come off the injured list, which would put him on track to start in Friday's home opener against the Cardinals.

Anderson (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was removed from Wednesday's intrasquad matchup due to a blister on his left index finger, and Monday's move signals that he'll miss the start of the regular season. The southpaw was cleared to play catch Sunday, so he could able to return soon after spending the minimum of 10 days on the injured list. It's unclear who the Brewers will use to replace Anderson in the rotation, but they could elect to use two pitchers in a piggyback start in his absence. The 32-year-old dealt with various minor injuries with the Athletics last season but still made 31 starts, logging a 3.89 ERA and 90:49 K:BB over 176 innings.

Manager Craig Counsell said that the Brewers will decide later Monday whether Anderson (finger) will be included on the 30-man Opening Day roster, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Before Anderson had a tune-up outing in Wednesday's intrasquad game cut short by a blister on his left index finger, the veteran southpaw had been lined up to start Milwaukee's second game of the season July 25 versus the Cubs. While Anderson was cleared to play catch Sunday, the Brewers want to make sure that the blister provides no complications with him throwing all of his pitches before locking him into the rotation. If the Brewers err on the side of caution and skip Anderson's first turn, Milwaukee could opt to use two pitchers in the lefty's stead in what would amount to a piggyback start. Thus far, the Brewers have only confirmed Brandon Woodruff as their starter for the July 24 opener.

Anderson was pulled from Wednesday's intrasquad game after two innings due to a blister, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers indicated the 32-year-old's departure was precautionary, but it's still a troublesome development with Opening Day on the horizon. Anderson figures to take it easy for a couple days to allow the blister to heal over before retaking the mound, but he could still be ready for the start of the season if there's no further issues.

Anderson (illness) is scheduled to start Saturday's Cactus League game against the Rangers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's turn in the Brewers' spring rotation initially came up Tuesday, but he was scratched ahead of that outing after experiencing flu-like symptoms. The lefty was cleared to resume workouts a day later and is apparently feeling healthy again, so the illness won't derail his bid for an Opening Day starting job.

Anderson returned to the team Wednesday after being scratched from his start the previous day with flu-like symptoms, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The loss of one outing shouldn't do too much damage to Anderson's ability to get ready for Opening Day. It remains to be seen when he'll next get into a Cactus League game.

Anderson was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday against the Padres due to flu-like symptoms.

EDGE Analysis

The loss of one spring start probably won't significantly impact Anderson's readiness for Opening Day. Shelby Miller will start in his place Tuesday.

Anderson is currently slated to open the season in the Brewers' starting rotation, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson signed a one-year deal with the Brewers after posting a 3.89 ERA over 31 starts with the A's last season, and according to manager Craig Counsell he opens camp safely in the rotation, presumably in the fourth spot behind Brandon Woodruff, Adrian Houser and Josh Lindblom.
