Anderson (4-2) pitched seven scoreless innings with seven strikeouts during Thursday's win over the Mets. He allowed just three hits and a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson sports a 3.30 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 8.5 K/9 for the year and hasn't allowed a run over 14 innings through his past two starts. Shutting down the Diamondbacks and Mets in consecutive starts is especially impressive considering they rank fourth and seventh in runs scored in the National League, respectively. The 29-year-old righty's 3.39 FIP suggests his current results are sustainable, and the Milwaukee offense will provide plenty of offensive support. Anderson's fantasy value is trending up. He lines up to face the Giants at Miller Park in his next start.

Anderson (3-1) pitched seven-plus shutout innings, allowing one hit with three walks and 11 strikeouts in Saturday's 6-1 win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
It didn't look like this was going to be a good day for Anderson, who walked the first two batters of the game. But he struck out Paul Goldschmidt and Jake Lamb to get out of the early jam and settled into quite a groove. He struck out eight of the first 15 batters he faced, on his way to a career-high 11 strikeouts, outdueling Zack Greinke in the process. The lone hit Anderson allowed came on a clean single to center by Nick Ahmed to lead off the eighth inning. It was Anderson's 114th pitch of the game, a career-high, so it's not certain he would been allowed to continue much longer. The performance was a big turnaround from his recent outings. He'd pitched into the sixth inning just once in his last four starts, allowing 16 runs in 18.2 innings prior to Saturday's gem. Anderson will look to build on this performance on Thursday when the Brewers visit the Mets.

Anderson (2-1) allowed six runs on seven hits (three home runs) while walking three and striking out two over four innings in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Believe it or not, it was only Anderson's second loss since July 25 last season. The long ball was his undoing in this one, as he allowed one to Ben Zobrist and two to superstar Kris Bryant. Before Sunday's outing, Anderson had only given up two home runs on the season, and one of them came way back on April 6. The 29-year-old will head into his next start with a 41:19 K:BB and 7.6 K/9 in 48.2 innings over nine starts.

Anderson has been confirmed as the starter for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Saturday's scheduled start was postponed due to inclement weather in Chicago, so the Brewers will opt to keep Anderson on turn and bump him back to Sunday. Anderson will be opposed by Jake Arrieta when the two teams meet in the series finale. The 29-year-old Anderson has a 4.09 ERA on the road this season, but he's also managed to fan 23 batters in 22.0 innings away from Miller Park.

Anderson's start Saturday was postponed due to rain, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will likely take the ball Sunday against Jake Arrieta and the Cubs, although the Brewers have an off day Monday that would allow them to skip Anderson if they so choose.

Anderson allowed four runs on six hits while walking three and striking out five over 5.1 innings for a no-decision in Monday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's ERA rose to 3.43, and he needed 90 pitches in a start that his fantasy owners were likely expecting much more out of him against the weak-hitting Friars. The 29-year-old right-hander hasn't had a blowup outing yet but also isn't standing out in fantasy circles. He's merely a back-end starter in deep mixed leagues.

Anderson (2-0) allowed two runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out four over 4.2 innings in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Boston put runners on base in every inning against Anderson, who needed 99 pitches (65 strikes) to record just 14 outs, but he was able to escape any serious damage. He'll look to get back in the win column Monday in San Diego.

Anderson will make his next start Thursday against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was initially scheduled to pitch Wednesday, but inclement weather resulted in the game's postponement. As expected, Anderson will simply start the series finale instead, while the other four Brewers starting pitchers will also be pushed back a day on the schedule.

Anderson will not pitch Wednesday night after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was initially due to face off with St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright, but a heavy dose of rain ended those plans for the moment. No pitching plans have been revealed at this time, but it seems like a good bet that Anderson would simply slide back to Thursday's contest, which is now rescheduled to be a night game.

Anderson allowed an unearned run on six hits and a walk while striking out six batters over six innings during Saturday's loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
The outing brought Anderson's ERA down to 1.13, and he's shown an uptick in the punchout department with a 8.25 K/9 and 22.9 strikeout percentage through four starts. The 29-year-old righty posted a 5.09 FIP last season and allowed a 36.6 hard-hit percentage, so it might still be too early to dub him a breakout candidate. He's still worth keeping tabs on and a speculative grab isn't out of the question, either. Anderson projects to face the Braves next.
