Anderson (forearm) will throw three 15-pitch innings in a simulated game Saturday, Michael Wagaman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran lefty is shooting to rejoin the starting rotation at some point over the Athletics' upcoming six-day road trip that consists of stops in Baltimore and Tampa. Anderson got through a Wednesday bullpen session free of setbacks, and Saturday's projected 45-pitch workload could be the final step before he's deemed ready for activation.
