Anderson (10-8) took the loss against the Giants on Tuesday, giving up two earned runs on six hits over six innings, striking out four and walking none as the Athletics eventually fell 3-2.
EDGE Analysis
It was a solid outing for the veteran left-hander, but he was unlucky to get outdueled by a dominant Madison Bumgarner and wound up saddled with his eighth loss of the season. Still, he's been pitching well lately, as this was his seventh quality start in his last eight trips to the mound. Anderson now sports a 3.95 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP and a 71:36 K:BB across 139 innings on the season.

Anderson (9-7) was charged with the loss against the Brewers on Wednesday after surrendering three runs on eight hits with three strikeouts over seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson allowed a leadoff home run to Lorenzo Cain in the first inning, which proved to be the only long ball of the game. The next run came from an RBI double by Christian Yelich in the third, and the final damage came from an RBI groundout by Mike Moustakas in the fourth. Despite a stronger second half, the 31-year-old will look for his first win since July 5 when he takes on the Cubs in Chicago on Thursday. The southpaw sports a 4.04 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 64:35 K:BB over 127 innings this season.

Anderson (finger) was reinstated from the paternity list ahead of his scheduled start against the Rangers on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Anderson is back with the Athletics ahead of Thursday's series opener after spending the past three days on the paternity list. The southpaw dealt with a fingernail issue during his previous start but doesn't believe that will be an issue Thursday. In a pair of starts since the All-Star break, Anderson owns a 3.55 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB in 12.2 innings. Tanner Anderson was sent to the minors in a corresponding move.

The Athletics placed Anderson (finger) on the paternity list Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Athletics recalled outfielder Nick Martini from Triple-A Las Vegas as a replacement on the active roster for Anderson, who will be able to spend up to three days away from the team. Anderson isn't scheduled to make his next start until Thursday against the Rangers, so his placement on the paternity list shouldn't impact his availability for that contest. Instead, the lefty will have to prove the fingernail issue he dealt with on his pitching hand during his previous outing against the Twins over the weekend isn't an issue before the Athletics lock him in for Thursday's start.
