Anderson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss against Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson took Rays starter Zach Eflin yard in the fourth inning to bring Willy Adames around to score and bring the Brewers to within one run of Tampa Bay. However, Milwaukee would allow five unanswered runs over the next three innings and eventually fell to the Rays 8-4. Through 43 games, Anderson owns a .236/.327/.426 slash line with seven home runs and 24 RBI. After not hitting a home run between April 24 and May 15, Anderson now has two over his past four games.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson provided what wound up being the game-winning hit for the Brewers after his solo blast put them up 3-2 in the sixth inning. It was his sixth homer run of the year but just his first since April 23. He's cooled off considerably since his torrid seven-game stretch to begin the year but does have four hits over his last four contests and has only struck out once over that span. For the year, the 30-year-old sits at a slash line of .245/.327/.424 with 22 RBI, 21 runs and a 16:43 BB:K over 159 plate appearances.

Anderson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has gone through a bit of a funk over the last four games while going 1-for-15 in that timeframe, and he'll get a night on the bench at least partially in response. Mike Brousseau is hitting cleanup while playing third base, and Tyrone Taylor is hitting seventh as the right fielder.

Anderson went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson opened the scoring for the Brewers in the fourth with a shot to right center and then tacked on another in the eighth. They were his fourth and fifth homers on the year, and his first time leaving the yard since his multi-homer game against the Mets on April 4. The 30-year-old got off to a blistering start to the year but has not maintained consistency so far. He's now raised his line back to .280/.364/.533 and has 18 RBI, 15 runs and a 11:24 BB:K over 88 plate appearances.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and six RBI during Tuesday's 9-0 win against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old delivered his first long ball of the season in Monday's blowout victory over New York, and he connected again twice to power Milwaukee's offense Tuesday. Anderson hit just eight home runs in 98 games for the Marlins last season, but he's off to a hot start with the Brewers in 2023.

Anderson went 2-for-3 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-0 victory over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson crushed a Carlos Carrasco offering to center in the fourth inning with a runner on to give the Brewers a 3-0 lead. That's the first homer of the season for the right-handed hitter, and the first for Anderson as a member of the Brewers. With Luis Urias (hamstring) on the shelf, Anderson is expected to receive most of his playing time at the hot corner over the next two months.

Anderson will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson picked up his first two starts of the season in right field, but he'll man third base for the second time in as many days following Luis Urias' (hamstring) recent move to the injured list. While Urias is on the shelf, Anderson is expected to play third base on a regular basis against right-handed pitching, though he could see more time in the corner outfield versus left-handers. Wherever Anderson is used in the field likely won't influence his fantasy outlook in any major way, as he should already carry eligibility in outfield and third base in most leagues after logging 41 and 42 starts at those respective positions in 2022. Anderson has recorded exactly one hit and one walk in each of the Brewers' first three games of the season and has scored twice and driven in one run.
