Brett Anderson (foot) allowed five runs on five hits and two walks over just 3 1/3 innings in his first rehab start with High-A Stockton Thursday. Anderson did strike out six, but he served up two homers and clearly wasn't very sharp. He's now allowed seven runs on eight hits and five walks over 5 2/3 frames in his first two rehab outings. The A's reversed course and intend to bring Anderson back as a starter following the Bartolo Colon injury, but he doesn't look ready to rejoin the rotation anytime soon.
