Anderson signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Friday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson opted out of his minor-league deal with the Cardinals and will now attempt to create a role for himself within the Rockies organization. The 34-year-old righty produced a 6.20 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 20.1 innings at Triple-A Memphis and will likely need to improve upon those numbers before getting a shot to pitch in Colorado's bullpen.

Anderson went unclaimed after exercising his upward mobility clause and will report to Triple-A Memphis, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson did not make the Cardinals' Opening Day roster but will stick around in the organization as relief depth. He has an opt-out clause in his contract for May 30 if he's not added to the Cardinals' 26-man active roster by then.

The Cardinals reassigned Anderson to minor-league camp Monday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson struggled this spring in his bid to win an Opening Day bullpen spot, allowing eight runs over 5.1 innings. He has an upward mobility clause in his contract, allowing other teams the opportunity to add him to its 40-man roster. If that doesn't happen, Anderson will report to Triple-A Memphis.

The Cardinals signed Anderson to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson, 34, made 37 appearances for the Royals last season, putting up a 4.04 ERA and 29:15 K:BB over 35.2 frames. The righty reliever hasn't shown the same velocity or swing-and-miss stuff the last couple years that he did earlier in his career, but Anderson should have a decent chance to make St. Louis' Opening Day roster if he can stay healthy.

Anderson will hold a showcase for teams Jan. 23, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has been working with the Baseball Performance Center in New Jersey on cleaning up his delivery in hopes to returning to the form which saw him post a 2.77 ERA and 136:21 K:BB over 81.1 innings from 2019-20. The 34-year-old has dealt with injuries and uneven performance since then, most recently collecting a 4.04 ERA and 29:15 K:BB across 35.2 frames with the Royals in 2024.

Anderson signed a contract with the Orioles on Tuesday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson opted out of his minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday after allowing one earned run in 4.1 innings across three appearances. He didn't have to wait very long to find another opportunity, though it's unclear if he'll report straight to Baltimore or remain in Triple-A upon joining his new organization.

Anderson signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Royals designated Anderson for assignment July 13, and the reliever elected for free agency after clearing waivers. The 33-year-old logged a 4.04 ERA in 35.2 innings out of the bullpen for Kansas City and should eventually see big-league action with the Dodgers.

The Royals released Anderson on Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson cleared waivers after being removed from the Royals' 40-man roster, and he declined an outright assignment to Triple-A Omaha. The veteran reliever holds a 4.04 ERA and 29:15 K:BB over 35.2 innings this season at the major-league level.

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.

Anderson (3-1) struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the win over the Mariners on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

It didn't look like any Royals pitcher would be in line for the win after the Mariners put up seven runs in the first inning, but Anderson was the beneficiary of a late rally that ended in a walk-off. He's had mixed results since the start of May, allowing seven runs (six earned) with a 12:6 K:BB over his last 12.1 innings. For the year, Anderson has a 3.86 ERA despite a 1.63 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB across 23.1 innings while adding a save and two holds. The right-hander's numbers are far from elite, but he's done a moderate job at preventing runs for a bullpen that is 21st in the majors with a 4.21 ERA this year.
