Atlanta Braves right-hander Ian Anderson (elbow) will have Tommy John surgery, according to sources. Anderson began the year at Triple-A Gwinnett after a rough 2022 season, and he struggled in his first start in the minors before being diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right elbow. He'll miss the rest of the 2023 season but is expected to return in 2024. Fantasy managers should expect Anderson to at least miss the start of next season, though, and after last year's disappointing performance, his...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson (elbow) has been placed on the seven-day minor-league injured list with a right elbow injury. The Braves are still evaluating him at this time. Anderson gave up six runs (four earned) on four hits (three home runs) while walking two and striking out one in just two-thirds of an inning in his first start for Triple-A Gwinnett last week, but it's likely his elbow was already bothering him then. Fantasy managers that have been stashing the 24-year-old ...

Atlanta Braves right-hander Ian Anderson didn't have the start he wanted in his first outing for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, as he allowed six runs (four earned) on four hits (three homers allowed) while walking two and striking out one in just two-thirds of an inning. The 24-year-old struggled to a 5.00 ERA (4.25 FIP), 1.51 WHIP and career-low 19.7 percent strikeout rate in 22 starts for the Braves in 2022 in his third major-league season, and he didn't look very great in spring training ...

Atlanta Braves starting pitchers Ian Anderson and Bryce Elder are options to start next Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Braves managers Brian Snitker said Max Fried will definitely miss the start against the Cards. Kyle Wright isn't eligible to come off the IL until April 11, so he's not an option. With Wright due back shortly, Anderson or Elder may only get one start this time around. It's hard to say either has streaming potential against a good Cardinals lineup, but both ...

The Atlanta Braves optioned starting pitcher Ian Anderson to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, per the team's Twitter account. The 24-year-old had a strong 2021 season but struggled last season with a 5.00 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, and 19.7% strikeout rate in 22 starts. It remains to be seen who will start the season as the Braves' fifth starter and it is possible that Anderson will get a chance to pitch with the team at some point during the season, but he will not get the first chance. This severely limits...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson really struggled in his third major-league season in 2022, posting a career-worst 5.00 ERA (4.25 FIP), 1.51 WHIP and career-low 19.7 percent strikeout rate in 111 2/3 innings over 22 starts. It got so bad that he was temporarily demoted to Triple-A to fix some things. He's competing for the fifth spot in the rotation this spring with Mike Soroka, Bryce Elder and Kolby Allard. The former first-rounder made multiple mechanical changes in the ...

Atlanta Braves right-hander Ian Anderson (oblique) strained his left oblique while pitching for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sept. 8 and will be out at least a month. It basically rules out any chance that he could have returned to Atlanta's rotation for the end of the regular season and even possibly the postseason now. Anderson was demoted to the minors last month when the Braves acquired righty Jake Odorizzi from the Houston Astros at the trade deadline. The 24-year-old had a 5.00 ERA (4.25 FIP), ...

The Atlanta Braves optioned right-hander Ian Anderson and outfielder Guillermo Heredia to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday and recalled right-hander Huascar Ynoa and selected catcher Chadwick Tromp's contract in corresponding moves. Anderson was solid last year with a 3.58 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 24 starts, but he's really struggled in 2022, going 9-6 with a 5.11 ERA (4.24 FIP), a 1.54 WHIP, 93 strikeouts and a league-high 53 walks in 105 2/3 innings over 21 starts. He'll head to the minors in order...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was superb on Saturday as he allowed just one hit over six-scoreless frames in his club's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks. The victory took his record to 9-6 on the season as he struck out nine batters in the contest while issuing just one free pass in the 97-pitch outing. It was the first time the right-hander lasted six innings since a June 19 start and a nice bounce back contest after he gave up seven runs over three innings last weekend. Anderson ...

We have seen Ian Anderson be dominant, especially in the playoffs, and we have seen him have his fair share of blowups as well.With the ups and downs he has had, what ...
