Manager Dave Roberts indicated Sunday that Anderson could begin a rehab assignment Thursday, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has taken multiple steps towards a rehab assignment and appears to be on the cusp of finally making the final step towards a return. Considering he's been sidelined since early March with the injury, a mid-August return seems like a best-case scenario as he continues to build his pitch count. When ready, his role with the Dodgers could depend on the health of others in the rotation.
