Anderson (7-5) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over five innings Friday, striking out nine and earning a win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from a two-run shot by Jesus Sanchez in the first inning, Anderson turned in a fairly clean outing Friday. It was an encouraging performance after he'd produced a 10:16 K:BB over his previous five appearances. The 23-year-old righty maintained his 3.61 ERA and improved his season K:BB to 107:47 through 109.2 innings. Anderson is projected to face the Rockies at home next week.

Anderson allowed four runs on five hits and four walks over three innings Saturday versus Colorado. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson struggled with his control in the outing, throwing only 33 of 62 pitches for strikes and walking four. He was also tagged for a pair of massive home runs, marking the first time he surrendered multiple long balls in a start since May 29. The right-hander will look for better results in his next outing, which is likely to come next weekend at home against Miami.

Anderson (6-5) allowed four hits and two walks over 5.2 shutout innings while earning a win over the Giants on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Surprisingly, Anderson managed to produce his first scoreless outing since June 21 despite not striking out a single batter. It was his first appearance since July 11 after a stint on the injured list with a shoulder issue. He took care of the Giants' lineup with relative ease as he never allowed an extra-base hit. Anderson now owns a 3.36 ERA through 101.2 innings. He's projected to start in Colorado next weekend.

Atlanta reinstated Anderson (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Reliever Edgar Santana was sent to Triple-A Gwinnett to open up a spot on the active roster for Anderson, who returns to the mound for the first time since July 11. Anderson seemingly assuaged concerns about the health of his shoulder during a four-start rehab assignment in the minors that culminated with a five-inning, nine-strikeout outing with Gwinnett on Tuesday. He built up to 90 pitches in that start, so he shouldn't face any restrictions Sunday as he rejoins Atlanta.

Anderson (shoulder) will be activated from the 10-day injured list to start Sunday versus the Giants, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson made four rehab appearances for Triple-A Gwinnett over the past few weeks, with his last start coming Tuesday. He covered five frames and gave up one run on three hits with nine strikeouts and two walks in the final rehab outing, so he shouldn't face significant workload limitations in his first start back from right shoulder inflammation.

Anderson (shoulder) will make one more rehab start at Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday before likely rejoining the Atlanta starting rotation, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It will mark Anderson's fourth rehab stint as he continues to build his arm back up after being sidelined with shoulder inflammation. The right-hander threw 76 pitches in his Tuesday start, so he should be close to fully stretched out after Saturday's outing. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, Anderson will likely slot back into Atlanta's rotation at some point during next weekend's series against San Francisco.

Anderson (shoulder) struck out six and worked 4.1 scoreless innings in his rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Gwinnett. He scattered four hits and one walk in the 76-pitch outing.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta hasn't outlined the next step for Anderson, but manager Brian Snitker said Wednesday that there's a change the right-hander makes a fourth rehab start in the minors before rejoining the big club, according to Kris Willis of TalkingChop.com. Though Atlanta is eager to have Anderson back in the fold while it looks to hold off Philadelphia and New York for the division lead, the recent return of Huascar Ynoa from the 60-day injured list coupled with Touki Toussaint's success at the back end of the rotation will allow the team to take things slowly with Anderson.

Anderson (shoulder) made the second appearance of his rehab assignment Wednesday at Triple-A Gwinnett, covering three innings while giving up three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

Though he didn't work as deep into the start as Atlanta probably would have liked, Anderson upped his pitch count to 64 (35 strikes), with his poor control having a hand in getting in him there. Atlanta will get some reinforcement to the rotation during the upcoming week with Huascar Ynoa (hand) slated to come off the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday in Miami, so expect Anderson to remain on assignment at Gwinnett for at least one more outing. He'll likely line up to make his next start for the Triple-A affiliate Tuesday versus Louisville.

Anderson (shoulder) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been on the shelf since July 16 with a shoulder issue, and he'll enter the final stage of his rehab program Thursday. Anderson shouldn't require more than one or two starts in the minors before rejoining Atlanta's rotation since he's only been sidelined a couple weeks.

Anderson (shoulder) has been throwing side sessions and will begin a rehab assignment soon, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson, who was placed on the injured list July 16 with right shoulder inflammation, is scheduled to throw another side session Monday. The righty posted a 3.56 ERA and 5-5 record in 96 innings before the injury. It's unclear exactly when Anderson will return, but he figures to require at least a couple rehab outings after the extended absence.
