Brett

Anderson

Anderson got the start for the Brewers for what might have been his last appearance for Milwaukee. He allowed one hit over one inning on just eight pitches. In typical Anderson fashion, he generated a groundout before giving up a single and inducing a ground ball double play. The 33-year-old left-hander ends the season with a 4.22 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 58 strikeouts over 96 innings.

Milwaukee wound up falling 4-3 in the matinee game at Busch Stadium, with the official loss going to reliever Miguel Sanchez. Anderson issued a walk and gave up three hits, including a third-inning homer to Dylan Carlson. It’s unclear whether the veteran left-hander will be carried on the Brewers’ roster for the best-of-five NLDS.

Anderson was only charged with two of the six runs due to a fielding error by Eduardo Escobar in the second inning, but the veteran certainly earned the loss in this contest. The Brewers southpaw generated a 20 percent CSW overall and a 13 percent mark on his changeup. Anderson falls to 4-9 this season with a 4.30 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 90 frames and will take on the Cardinals once more next week.

The veteran southpaw has been sidelined since September 2 with a bruised shoulder and returns to a 4.18 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 88 1/3 innings this season. Anderson will get the start on Wednesday night versus the Cardinals. Pablo Reyes was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Anderson has been out since September 2 after taking a comebacker off his left shoulder. The veteran southpaw has pitched to a 4.18 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 56/26 K/BB ratio in 88 1/3 innings (21 starts) this year for Milwaukee.

Anderson got struck on the shoulder by a hard line drive in the second inning of his start Wednesday night against the Giants and did not return for the third inning. He’ll miss at least one turn in the Brewers’ rotation, leaving behind a 4.18 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 56/26 K/BB ratio in 88 1/3 innings (21 starts) this season.

Anderson was struck by a 103 mph line drive on his left shoulder in the second inning and still managed to complete the frame. However, he didn’t come back out for the ensuing frame. It doesn’t seem like a serious concern, but that remains to be seen. The 33-year-old righty has been snake-bitten by persistent physical issues this season.

Anderson came up limping after trying to field an infield grounder in the fifth inning of his start Thursday afternoon against the Reds. There should be more information on the severity of the issue come Friday. The veteran left-hander wound up being charged with three earned runs over four-plus innings of work.

Anderson looked to tweak something in one of his legs as he attempted to field an infield dribbler in the top of the fifth inning. Hunter Strickland took his place on the mound. There should be an update soon from Milwaukee.

Anderson struck out three and walked three on the evening. A two-run triple by Lane Thomas in the fourth inning and an RBI single by Riley Adams in the sixth spelled the whole of the damage on the veteran southpaw’s line. Anderson will carry a 4.15 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 51/23 K/BB ratio (19 starts) into a home showdown with the Reds when he next toes the rubber.
