Anderson (oblique) will return to the big-league rotation Sunday in Colorado, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
He will forgo a third rehab start, but unfortunately will take the hill in Coors Field, so it's not necessarily a must-start situation for Anderson's owners. The righty gave up five runs with five strikeouts over 7.2 innings in his two rehab starts, and most of that damage came when he was pitching at Colorado Springs on Sunday, so we've got a recent example of what can happen when he pitches at a high altitude. Anderson was excellent prior to his injury, logging a 2.89 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 85 strikeouts in 90.1 innings.

Anderson (oblique) will make his next rehab start with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday, MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was able to throw 47 pitches with Low-A Wisconsin during his first rehab game Tuesday, and is set to make another with Milwaukee's Triple-A team this weekend. Following this upcoming start, the right-hander will need one more appearance with Colorado Springs before rejoining the Brewers, barring any setbacks. He figures to steadily increase his workload from the 3.1 innings he tossed with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, and could be back on the mound in San Francisco on August 23 for the series finale if all goes according to plan.

Anderson (oblique) tossed 3.1 innings for Low-A Wisconsin in his rehab start Tuesday, giving up one run on two hits and a walk while striking out three batters.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson demonstrated good control of all four of the offerings in his arsenal, recording strikes on 31 of his 47 pitches. The right-hander said after the outing that he would require two more rehab starts before rejoining the Brewers, likely in late August. According to Carson Mason of MLB.com, Anderson's next two outings likely won't be with the Low-A affiliate, but instead with Triple-A Colorado Springs. Brewers manager Craig Counsell should provide more clarity on Anderson's next destination before the weekend.

Anderson (oblique) will begin his rehab assignment with Low-A Wisconsin on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been on the disabled list with a strained left oblique for over a month, so he'll require two-to-three rehab starts before rejoining the Brewers' starting rotation. His current rehab timeline puts him on line to return to the majors in late August, barring any setbacks.

Anderson (oblique) will start a rehab assignment on Tuesday or Wednesday with one of Milwaukee's minor-league clubs, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is in line for at least two, or even three starts before returning to the Brewers. If he winds up needing three outings during his assignment, he would likely rejoin the rotation in California against either the Giants or Dodgers around the fourth week of August.

Anderson (oblique) was able to throw 30-to-35 pitches during Friday's simulated game, while a rehab assignment looms on the horizon, MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports.
EDGE Analysis
With all systems checking out during Friday's simulated game, Anderson appears likely to return to the rotation within the next two weeks. The next progression during his recovery will include a rehab outing to one of Milwaukee's minor-league affiliates, and it wouldn't come as a surprise if the right-hander wound up spending a couple starts on his rehab stint. There should be a clear timetable in the coming days once the Brewers announce when Anderson will go on his assignment.

Anderson (oblique) successfully completed a bullpen session Tuesday and will face live hitters in a simulated game Friday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson continues to inch closer to a minor-league rehab assignment. If all goes well with Friday's appearance, he could embark on his rehab stint as early as next week, although more details should emerge once he gets over his current hurdle.

Anderson (oblique) is scheduled to throw his third bullpen session at some point early this week before likely facing hitters by next weekend, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's first two bullpen sessions have gone without a hitch, so he'll presumably up his pitch count during his third session before advancing to the next phase of the rehab process. Once he faces hitters in live batting practice one or two times, Anderson would then likely begin a rehab assignment as soon as next week. Rotation depth has been a weakness for the Brewers this season, so Anderson's potential return in mid-to-late August would surely provide a boost on that front.

Anderson (oblique) will throw a full bullpen session Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson already did light throwing off a mound earlier in the week, but it seems like he's getting close to a full return. The hope is that he can return to the Brewers' rotation sometime in mid-August, which would align with the original six-week return window. An exact return date should become clearer once he moves on to a rehab assignment.

Anderson (oblique) threw lightly off a mound Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This wasn't a full bullpen session, but it's good to see that he's nearly back to full mound work. Anderson hopes to return after just six weeks on the shelf, which would get him back around the weekend of August 11. A firmer timetable for his return should come forth once he begins a rehab assignment, which should happen relatively soon.
