Drew Anderson fans five Twins in no-decision

Drew Anderson

DET Relief Pitcher #38

Player Stats

Drew Anderson allowed three hits and two runs – just one earned – with two walks and five strikeouts across 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Twins on Tuesday.

Anderson continues to be an effective albeit unspectacular starting pitcher. Leading with his changeup, he mostly cruised here and would’ve finished six innings for the first time in his big league career if not for an error by Kevin McGonigle that invited trouble in the sixth. Regardless, that changeup forced eight of his 12 total swings-and-misses as a true weapon against hitters from each side of the plate and finished this start with an incredible 67% chase rate. He’s scheduled to face the Twins again next time out.

Drew Anderson allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings and took the loss against the Twins on Tuesday.

Anderson gave up four hits, walked three and struck out four. He fell to 4-6 with the loss. Anderson pitched well while allowing one run in the first five innings before the game turned when he allowed a two-run home run to Kody Clemens in the sixth inning. He now has a 2.97 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings over his last seven starts since the Tigers moved him into the rotation in early August. Anderson is lined up to face the Blue Jays on the road next Monday and could be in for a two-start week.
Drew Anderson

DET Relief Pitcher #38

Despite walking five, Drew Anderson shut out the Dodgers for 4 2/3 innings on Friday.

Anderson was one out away from qualifying for a win in a 1-0 game, but with the bases loaded and Max Muncy coming up, pulling him seemed like the right move. Drew Sommers struck out Muncy out to initially maintain the lead, but he went on to give up the tying run in the sixth. Anderson has a 2.82 ERA in five starts since moving into the Detroit rotation, though he’s totaled just 22 1/3 innings in those games. He’ll face the Twins next week.
Drew Anderson

DET Relief Pitcher #38

Drew Anderson allowed three runs in five innings and took the loss against the Royals on Saturday.

Anderson gave up five hits, walked one and struck out four. He fell to 4-5 with the loss. Anderson started the sixth inning, but was pulled after allowing a lead-off double. Tanner Rainey retired the next two batters only to allow the runner to score with two outs on a wild pitch, which was the third run charged to Anderson. He has a 3.66 ERA and 13/6 SO/BB in four starts since the Tigers moved him into the rotation. Anderson is lined up to face the Dodgers at home next weekend.
Drew Anderson

DET Relief Pitcher #38

Drew Anderson allowed three runs over five innings while not qualifying for a decision against the White Sox on Sunday.

Anderson limited the White Sox to just one run over the first four frames, but a two-run shot by Drew Romo turned a solid start into a middling one. Still, the 32-year-old kept Detroit in the game, and that’s about all you can ask, with all due respect to Anderson. If there’s no change to the rotation order, he’ll take a 4.01 ERA into his scheduled start in Kansas City over the weekend.
Drew Anderson

DET Relief Pitcher #38

Drew Anderson pitched four innings of one-run ball Tuesday in his start against the Guardians.

Anderson got 11 outs with just 42 pitches in his first start since joining the rotation last week against the Mariners. Tonight, it took him 70 pitches to get 12, ruining his chances of perhaps picking up a win. He should be in better shape to potentially complete five innings Sunday against the White Sox.
Drew Anderson

DET Relief Pitcher #38

Drew Anderson pitched 3 2/3 scoreless innings Wednesday in his start against the Mariners.

Anderson performed well despite going without a K. He had a 28.3 percent strikeout rate previously while working mostly as a reliever, but he fanned none of the 13 batters he faced tonight. Anderson will likely remain a starter for now and face the Guardians next week.
Drew Anderson

DET Relief Pitcher #38

Drew Anderson will start on Wednesday against the Mariners.

Anderson had success overseas in Korea the last two seasons and has looked sharp in a handful of opportunities for Detroit this year. He’s compiled a serviceable 4.24 ERA and 78/24 K/BB ratio across 63 2/3 innings, mostly in relief, for the Tigers this season. He’ll get an extended look in the club’s starting rotation for the final two months and could be a decent streaming option in deeper mixed leagues.
Drew Anderson

DET Relief Pitcher #38

Drew Anderson allowed one run in 2 2/3 innings and got a no-decision against the Astros on Monday.

Anderson gave up two hits, walked two and struck out five. He was thrust into starting with Troy Melton (back) scratched and did a solid enough job for the Tigers. Anderson isn’t quite a relief ace, but he’s the first choice when A.J. Hinch needs multiple innings from the bullpen.
Troy Melton

DET Starting Pitcher #52

Troy Melton was scratched from Monday’s start against the Astros with back tightness.

Drew Anderson will take the ball in his place. Melton will undergo further evaluation to determine the severity of the issue. It’s unclear whether he’ll take the ball at some point later this week. The 25-year-old has posted a strong 2.81 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 14/6 K/B ratio across 25 2/3 innings through four starts since making his season debut last month. It’s a tough break for fantasy managers since he was in line for a potential two-start week against the Astros and White Sox. There should be some additional clarity on his status in the coming days.
Kyle Finnegan

DET Relief Pitcher #67

Kyle Finnegan suffered a blown save on Friday night, giving up a run on two hits in the ninth inning against the White Sox.

Finnegan came on to protect a two-run advantage in the ninth and got into trouble as he allowed two consecutive one-out singles that put runners on the corners. The White Sox then dropped down a sacrifice bunt to score the tying run. Finnegan escaped further damage, but the Tigers went on to lose in the 10th as Drew Anderson blew another one-run lead. The Tigers’ bullpen is in complete shambles at the moment.

Aaron Judge is starting in right field again Wednesday against the Rockies.

Judge went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and played six innings in right field in his return from the IL last night. There’s yet to be an update on how he’s feeling today, but as of last night, it sounded like he could exit early again tonight and then probably sit Thursday.

The Nationals are sitting Abimelec Ortiz in favor of Yohandy Morales against a righty on Wednesday.

It’s just the second time since Ortiz was called up on Aug. 3 that he’d been left out of the lineup against a righty. Ortiz is 3-for-26 with one RBI and a 9/1 K/BB in his last nine games, which helps explain his absence.
