Anderson signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear whether Anderson received an invitation to the major-league side of spring training as part of the deal. The right-handed reliever collected a 6.87 ERA over 24 appearances in the minors in the Royals organization this season. He last pitched in the big leagues in 2019.

Anderson signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson last pitched in the majors in 2019, having undergone Tommy John surgery back in July of 2020. The 30-year-old displayed plenty of bat-missing ability during his time with the Angels, so he seems worthy of a no-risk flier. He'll report to Triple-A Omaha.

The Rangers reassigned Anderson to minor-league camp Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The demotion of Anderson and three others Wednesday leaves the Rangers with 39 players left in big-league camp with Opening Day just over a week away. Anderson, who previously made 111 relief appearances with the Angels between the 2018 and 2019 seasons, hasn't made it back to the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery in July 2020. He's expected to work out of the bullpen at Triple-A Round Rock to begin the 2022 campaign.

Anderson (elbow) won't pitch off a mound during spring training, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is expected to miss most or all of the 2021 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in July, and he won't be able to take part in mound work during spring training. He signed a two-year, minor-league contract with the Rangers in January and will spend most of his first season with the club in his rehab process.

Anderson (elbow) signed a two-year, minor-league contract with Texas on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson underwent Tommy John surgery July 22 and is expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2021 season, so the Rangers will spend most of the first year of his contract overseeing his rehab with the hope that he can emerge as a healthy contributor to the bullpen in 2022. Before requiring the elbow procedure this summer, the hard-throwing right-hander made 111 relief appearances with the Angels between the 2018 and 2019 seasons, logging a 4.75 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and an 11.2 K/9.

Anderson (elbow) was non-tendered by the Angels on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Anderson had Tommy John surgery in mid-July, he probably won't be ready for game action until August or September, and that's if everything goes smoothly with his recovery. The 28-year-old righty has a 4.75 ERA in 102.1 innings as a reliever with the Angels from 2018 to 2019.

The Angels placed Anderson (elbow) on the 45-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's move to the IL was merely a formality after he was diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right elbow last week that required season-ending Tommy John surgery. The power reliever won't be ready to contribute for the Angels until late in the second half of the 2021 campaign in a best-case scenario.

Anderson (oblique) was diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right elbow and will undergo Tommy John surgery Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was returning from an oblique injury he sustained in February, but he's now been lost for the season. Anderson will also be sidelined for at least the first half of the 2021 campaign.

Anderson (oblique) has resumed throwing off a mound, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson suffered a left oblique strain at the start of spring training and was originally expected to be sidelined to begin the season. With a potential Opening Day now expected to take place no sooner than early July, Anderson appears to be on track to begin the season ready to contribute out of the bullpen.
