The Reds are listing Anderson as their scheduled starter for Monday's game against the Cardinals, Byron Kerr of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to Monday's contest, the Reds will need to formally select Anderson's contract to add him to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, after he joined the organization Saturday on a minor-league deal. He'll be stepping into the rotation spot vacated by T.J. Zeuch (back), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday. Between stops with the Tigers' and Rays' Triple-A affiliates this season, Anderson has produced a 4.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 72:29 K:BB in 80 innings.

Anderson signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Saturday and is expected to start Monday against the Cardinals, Byron Kerr of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds are dealing with multiple injuries to their starting pitchers and have evidently elected to bring in a 34-year-old from outside the organization rather than call up someone from Triple-A. Anderson hasn't thrown a major-league pitch this season and owns a 6.94 ERA at the highest level since the start of the 2020 campaign. In 80 Triple-A innings this season, he owns a 4.50 ERA.

Anderson opted out of his minor-league contract with the Rays on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will hit the open market for the third time this season, as he was previously released by the Tigers in April before re-signing with Detroit shortly thereafter and then opting out of his contract. The veteran right-hander was productive over 10 innings with Triple-A Durham -- he posted a 3.60 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB -- but a promotion to the Rays wasn't in the cards. Anderson will look to join another organization that can presumably present him with a clearer path back to the big leagues.

The Rays signed Anderson to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson didn't appear in a game for the Tigers this season, but he did post a 4.63 ERA and 62:27 K:BB in 70 innings for Triple-A Toledo. The righty's recent performance doesn't suggest he'll see many opportunities for Tampa Bay, even with their track record of reviving the careers of many a pitcher.

Anderson opted out of his minor-league contract with the Tigers on Saturday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson and the Tigers have now parted ways for the second time this season, as the right-hander was previously released from his minor-league deal April 10 and then re-signed two days later. Though Detroit has dealt with a litany of injuries to its pitching staff this season, Anderson was unable to earn a call-up to the majors despite having been a staple in the Triple-A Toledo rotation. Over his 17 outings (15 starts) at Triple-A, Anderson produced a 4.63 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 62:27 K:BB in 70 innings.

Detroit released Anderson from his minor-league contract Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers elected to move on from Anderson after he was lit up for three runs on six hits and two walks across 2.2 innings in his lone start for Triple-A Toledo last Friday. Now a free agent, the 34-year-old right-hander will look to catch on elsewhere as organizational starting depth.

The Tigers reassigned Anderson to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

After signing a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training, Anderson appeared in three Grapefruit League games, giving up three earned runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out two batters over five innings. The 34-year-old will start the year in Triple-A but due to his big-league experience, he could be one of the first pitchers to get called up if needed. Anderson appeared in 14 games with the Phillies in 2021, nine of which were starts, producing a disappointing 6.75 ERA and 1.48 WHIP while posting a 6.6 K/9, his lowest since 2015.

Anderson is one of several pitchers still competing to fill out the back end of Detroit's bullpen to begin the regular season, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Woodbery notes that six pitchers (Anderson, Jacob Barnes, Jason Foley, Rony Garcia, Will Vest and Drew Hutchison) are likely competing for five roster spots. Anderson has largely been a starter during his MLB career, but it appears that he won't be in the rotation to begin the year for the Tigers, so he'll likely need to make the team as a long reliever.

Anderson signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's veteran presence could be a good fit for a young pitching core that includes former first-round pick Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal, who has just one full season of big-league action under his belt. While Anderson won't be a favorite to crack the Opening Day roster, he'll serve as depth in the rotation and could be a candidate to come up later in the season should the injury bug strike. There's no question that Anderson has struggled over his last few seasons, accruing a 7.22 ERA over 33.2 innings during the 2020 campaign and a 6.75 ERA across 48 innings with Philly a season ago, but he was formerly a serviceable starter, posting his best season with Milwaukee in 2017 with a 2.74 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 141.1 frames.

Anderson signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson didn't have to wait long to find a new club after getting released by the Phillies on Sunday. He joins a team that's in desperate need of starting pitching, with Dane Dunning, Mike Foltynewicz and Spencer Howard all on the COVID-19 injured list. The Rangers may prefer to give opportunities to younger players rather than a 33-year-old who owns a 6.94 ERA over the last two seasons, however, so there's no guarantee he joins the major-league roster any time soon.
