Anderson (3-3) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The only damage against Anderson through the first five innings was Garrett Cooper's sacrifice fly in the first. He then allowed another run in the sixth and was charged with two more in the seventh without recording an out in the frame. It was the first time that Anderson has allowed more than three runs in an outing since his season debut on April 10. The 6-foot-3 righty saw his ERA climb back to 4.07 through 42 frames. Anderson is projected for a rematch at home against Miami next week.

Anderson (3-2) took the loss Monday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings as Atlanta fell 1-0 to the Brewers. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The game's lone run came on a wild pitch in the sixth inning which brought Hunter Renfroe home from third base. Anderson fired 61 of 103 pitches for strikes as he delivered his second quality start of the season, but he was outdueled by Freddy Peralta, and the Atlanta right-hander will carry a 3.75 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and disappointing 25:18 K:BB through 36 innings into his next outing.

Anderson gave up three runs on seven hits across 5.1 innings during Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Red Sox. He struck out four and walked one.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson gave up a two-run homer to Trevor Story in the second and a RBI single to J.D. Martinez in the third, but he was able to avoid major trouble for the most part despite not having his best stuff. Anderson was pulled with 96 pitches after allowing two of the first three batters to reach in the sixth inning, but Collin McHugh was able to get out of the jam without allowing a run. Tentatively, the 24-year-old is scheduled to pitch next against the Brewers on Monday.

Anderson (3-1) allowed one earned run on five hits and four walks while striking out one to earn the win Wednesday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson allowed a hitter to reach base in every inning, but he benefitted from a pair of double plays and other timely outs to escape without significant damage. Most concerning was his inability to consistently find the strike zone, as he issued four free passes and has walked three or more batters in three of his five starts. As a result, he's managed only an 18:15 K:BB across the first 24.2 innings of his season, a mark he'll need to improve upon to maintain his 4.01 ERA moving forward.

Anderson (2-1) picked up the win Friday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over six innings in a 6-3 victory over the Rangers. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Atlanta jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning and Anderson never let Texas back into the game despite firing only 51 of 90 pitches for strikes before exiting. It was the first quality start of the season for the right-hander, but his control remains an issue in the early going -- Anderson's 13.3 percent walk rate is a huge jump from his 9.9 percent rate in 2021, while his 20.5 percent strikeout rate has dropped a similar amount.

Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-7 loss to the Marlins, giving up three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Jazz Chisholm set the tone for the game when he took Anderson deep on the first pitch he threw, but the right-hander still managed to leave in line for his second win before Atlanta's bullpen fell apart. Anderson threw 57 of 93 pitches for strikes in the shaky outing, and his control remains an issue in the early going -- he sports a 5.40 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 12:9 K:BB through his first 13.1 innings.

Anderson (1-1) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 5-2 victory over the Padres. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander's changeup gave San Diego batters fits, as Anderson got 11 swinging strikes on that pitch alone. After a rough first start of the season, the 23-year-old appears to be back on track, and Anderson will take an 8:6 K:BB through 8.1 innings into his next outing.

Anderson (0-1) took the loss against the Reds on Sunday, allowing five runs on three hits and five walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out one batter.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson had little feel for the strike zone in this one, throwing just 39 of his 74 pitches for strikes. Command and control have always been a question with Anderson, but he's been able to work around those issues for the most part through 31 career MLB starts. On paper anyway, next week's scheduled outing in San Diego looks like a good spot for the 23-year-old to get right.

Anderson (toe) will make his scheduled start Sunday against the Reds, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, the right big toe blister that resulted in Anderson being removed early in his final Grapefruit League start Monday against the Rays won't prevent him from making his first turn through the regular-season rotation. The 23-year-old may be on a limited pitch count Sunday, however; he didn't cover more than three innings in any of his three spring starts.

Anderson left his start Monday against the Rays with a blister on his right big toe but is expected to be fine for his regular-season debut Sunday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The minor injury could slightly affect Anderson's pitch count for his start Sunday, as he was only able to throw three innings Monday. Assuming the issue doesn't linger, however, he should be up to a full workload before too long.
