The Royals designated Anderson for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has been moved off the 26-man and 40-man rosters to free up space for Hunter Harvey, who the Royals acquired via trade Saturday from the Nationals. Anderson logged a 4.15 ERA across 34.2 innings with Kansas City this season, racking up three wins, a save and two holds. The 33-year-old could attract interest on waivers.
