Atlanta Braves right-hander Ian Anderson has pitched to a 6.48 ERA and a 4.85 FIP in his first two starts this season. It's a small sample early, but Anderson has thrown just 8.1 innings so far. He's collected eight strikeouts and six walks on the season. It's very much been a tale of two starts for the 23-year-old. Anderson gave up five walks, five earned runs, and three hits against just one strike in 2.2 innings in his first start of the season against the Cincinnati Reds. In his next outing...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson (toe) left his appearance as a precaution in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Tampa Bay Rays with a blister on his right big toe. Anderson is scheduled to start his first game of the regular season this Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds, but it remains to be seen if the blister issue will cause him to be skipped in the rotation. The 23-year-old should be able to make his first start of the season this weekend, but it makes him a little ...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson placed fifth in the Rookie of the Year voting in November, posting a 9-5 record with a 3.58 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 128.1 IP. His 4.12 FIP paints a different picture, though, reflecting his disappointing 23.2 K% and 9.9 BB%. His less than spectacular strikeout numbers come as a surprise after producing a K-rate of 29.7 two seasons ago and a 28.6 mark during his minor league career. Some of that is related to his CSW%, which went from 30.3% in 2020 to ...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson helped lead the team to a 3-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the NLDS. He pitched five scoreless innings, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out six. The 23-year-old right-hander had some trouble keeping the ball in the yard during the final stretch of the regular season. He allowed seven home runs over 26.2 innings in September and had a 4.39 ERA over that stretch. However, Anderson has certainly begun to develop a ...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson finished strong during his last start of the regular season. He went six innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, three walks, and two strikeouts in the 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Anderson was serviceable this season, posting a 3.58 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 124/53 K/BB ratio across 128 1/3 innings. He should be a key piece to the Braves postseason rotation alongside Max Fried and Charlie Morton.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was locked in during Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He went seven innings, two hits allowed, one earned run, one walk, and eight strikeouts in the 9-2 win. To be fair, the Diamondbacks don't have much firepower on offense, but Anderson made easy work of them. Anderson will take a 3.60 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 122 strikeouts into his next start versus the Philadelphia Phillies. He'll be a favorable fantasy option in an important matchup...

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson had trouble keeping the ball in the park during Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He went 5 2/3 innings, five hits allowed, four earned runs, two walks, and seven strikeouts in the 6-5 loss. Anderson allowed three home runs in this contest, but deserves the benefit of the doubt. He is posting a respectable 3.75 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 114/49 K/BB through 22 starts this season. Anderson should have a bounce back performance versus the Arizona...

Thursday's game between the Colorado Rockies and the Atlanta Braves has been postponed. Per an announcement on the Braves' official website, the game has been postponed "due to inclement weather and unplayable field conditions." German Marquez was previously scheduled to start for Colorado while Ian Anderson was set to start for Atlanta. Fantasy managers should make sure to adjust their lineups and move players from both teams to the bench on Thursday.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was tough to hit during Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. Anderson went five innings, five hits allowed, two earned runs, two walks, and nine strikeouts in the 6-2 victory. He has pitched well since coming off the injured list and doesn't appear to have missed a beat. Anderson will take a 3.61 ERA into his next start. Fantasy managers can continue believing in him down the stretch of the season.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was not on his best game during Saturday's contest against the Colorado Rockies. He went three innings, five hits allowed, four earned runs, and four walks in the 7-6 loss. Anderson clearly struggled with his control and two home runs hurt him as well. Despite the rough outing, Anderson has been solid for the Braves this season. It's never easy pitching in Colorado, so fantasy managers should give him a pass here.
