B. Anderson - SP

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Brett Anderson (blister) "wasn't close" to being available for the team's Wild Card Series versus the Dodgers.

Anderson had to exit Sunday's regular season finale with a recurrence of a blister issue on his left index finger, and Counsell said the blister wasn't any better a few days later. It sounds like he'll definitely be a question mark for the next round, too, should the Brewers advance.

Brett Anderson was lifted from Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a blister on his pitching hand.

Anderson began the season on the injured list with a blister on his left index finger and it appears the malady has popped up again. The timing is unfortunate, as he was only able to go two-plus innings in a game where a Brewers win would earn them a playoff spot.

Brett Anderson yielded two runs -- one earned -- in six innings and struck out seven in the Brewers' 3-2 victory over the Reds on Tuesday.

It's the first time he's had seven strikeouts since Sept. 15, 2015. Both Milwaukee and Cincinnati are at .500 after this, though the Reds (28-28) have played two more games than the Brewers (27-27). Anderson moved to 4-3 with a 4.00 ERA. He struggled some with a blister out of the gate, but he's turned in quality starts in four of his last six outings.

Brett Anderson limited the Cardinals to two runs over six innings to pick up a win in the Brewers’ 18-3 blowout victory Tuesday.

The lefty was scratched from his last outing with a tight hip, but he looked fine in this one. Anderson allowed an RBI double to Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning and walked Goldy with the bases loaded in the fifth, but that’s all the Cards were able to muster off the veteran southpaw. He permitted five hits and a couple walks while notching three punchouts. Anderson is lined up to face the Reds on the road next.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said that he's hopeful Brett Anderson (hip) will be able to start on Monday against the Cardinals.

The Brewers had planned to go with a bullpen day on Monday, so all they did with Anderson getting scratched on Saturday was move up the bullpen day, with the expectation that Anderson would be able to pitch on Monday. Pay close attention to his status before setting lineups for next week.

Brett Anderson was scratched from his scheduled start against the Cubs on Saturday with a tight right hip.

Brent Suter will start in his place in what will end up being a bullpen day for the Brewers. The severity of the injury for Anderson -- as well as how much time he may miss -- is not yet known.

Brett Anderson was charged with four runs across five frames Sunday against the Indians.

The left-hander fanned just one batter on the day, walked a pair and surrendering six hits. Anderson had back-to-back nice showings in tough matchups against the Twins and Reds, but he's now backslid with two less-than-stellar efforts versus the Pirates and now the Indians. He'll be a low-upside fantasy play in his next matchup against the Cubs.

B. Anderson - SP

Brett Anderson gave up four runs over five innings on Saturday in a no-decision against the Pirates.

Anderson yielded nine hits, including a solo homer to Josh Bell in the fifth inning. He struck out three batters and didn’t hand out a free pass in this one. The lackluster outing snapped an impressive five-start streak in which he had allowed two earned runs or fewer to open the condensed 2020 campaign. The 32-year-old veteran left-hander remains a certifiable ground ball machine, but the lack of strikeout upside limits his streaming appeal to deeper mixed leagues and NL-only formats. He’ll carry a respectable 4.18 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 20/5 K/BB ratio across 28 innings (six starts) into an interleague matchup against the Indians at Progressive Field on Saturday.

Brett Anderson pitched six innings and allowed two runs Monday in a victory over the Reds.

Anderson is doing a fine Chase Anderson (or is it Kyle Davies?) impression for the Brewers, posting a 3.52 ERA through five starts. He was lifted after 74 pitches tonight, so he should have still had something in the tank. Still, the Brewers will take rested relievers over a third-time-through-the-order starter almost every time.

Brett Anderson threw six innings of one-run ball versus the Twins in a win Wednesday.

It's the first win of the year for Anderson, who came in with a 4.91 ERA in three rather abbreviated starts (the longest lasted 4 1/3 innings). He was rather efficient tonight, getting 18 outs with 87 pitches. He'll face the Reds in Milwaukee next time out.

B. Anderson - SP

Brett Anderson went 4 1/3 innings and allowed just two runs against the Cubs on Thursday.

He allowed five hits along with a pair of walks, and he struck out five. Anderson gave up one on the first after a leadoff double by Nico Hoerner on a fielder’s choice, and he gave up another in the second as Kyle Schwarber started the frame with a solo homer. After that the left-hander was solid, but Yu Darvish was much better. The veteran left-hander did not pitch well in his first two outings of the year, but this was much better. That being said, Anderson is not a recommended option for his next start; scheduled to take place in Minnesota.

B. Anderson - SP

Brett Anderson struggled in Saturday's loss to the Reds, giving up three runs (two earned) on four hits over 3 2/3 innings.

The left-hander walked two and struck out two on the night -- throwing 39 of his 68 pitches for strikes. All of the damage done against him came in the opening inning on one mighty swing by Eugenio Suarez. Anderson continues to build up his stamina after getting a late start to the season due to a blister issue. He should be able to throw around 80 pitches his next time out on Thursday against the Cubs in Chicago.

G. Springer - CF

MLB.com's Jon Morosi reports that the Blue Jays are now the "frontrunners" to sign George Springer.

Morosi also acknowledges that two Twitter users, one a Sportsnet employee, have stated that the Jays and Springer are already in agreement on a deal. This could fully come together within the next 24 hours, and perhaps even late Tuesday night. Springer was also a target of the Mets, but it seems their primary focus has shifted to a long-term contract extension for star shortstop Francisco Lindor, who was acquired from Cleveland earlier this month. Springer, 31, registered an .899 OPS with 14 home runs and 32 RBI over 51 games with the Astros in 2020 and is said to be looking for a free agent contract worth upwards of $150 million.

L. Brossoit - G

WPG

Laurent Brossoit made 38 saves on 41 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win against the Ottawa Senators.

It was a pretty good night for Brossoit considering the heavy workload he had. Ottawa heavily outshot the Jets in the first and second periods and while he did let in three goals, Brossoit couldn't be blamed for it as the Jets were doing him no favours on defence. Brossoit's 38 save performance gave the Jets their second win of the season. There is no doubt that Connor Hellebuyck is the bonafide starter for the Jets but if the sloppy defensive play continues, expect to see Hellbuyck getting a lot less rest than initially thought.

It's a tough injury for Frost who was just getting some game action for the second time this season. We'll know more tomorrow on his status but it usually isn't a good sign when a player requires an MRI.

B. Tkachuk - LW

OTT

Brady Tkachuk was held off the scoresheet again in Tuesday night's 4-3 overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets.

This is the second game in a row that Tkachuk has been held pointless by Ottawa's opponent, but it wasn't for a lack of trying as he had seven shots on goal. Former first round pick Josh Norris scored his first goal of his NHL career on Ottawa's first goal of the night, but that is about as far as the positives went for Ottawa on Tuesday night. The Senators had a 3-1 lead in midway through the second period at one point but Laurent Brossoit was perfect for the rest of the night as the Jets were heavily outshot all night. It is early in the season but one thing that is clear is that Ottawa's success heavily leans on Tkachuk's offensive production.

The Philadelphia Flyers announced that Philippe Myers will undergo an MRI for an injury he suffered against the Buffalo Sabres.

Myers was injured early in this contest and never returned to the contest. Losing him for a significant amount of time would be a big loss for the Flyers. Myers was averaging about 20 minutes a game heading into tonight's contest. We'll likely have an update on Wednesday.

N. Ehlers - F

WPG

Nikolaj Ehlers scored the game winning goal in Tuesday's comeback overtime win against the Senators.

Ehlers capped off the comeback for the Jets on a night where, like Monday, they were heavily outshot and out-played by their opponent. It looked like the game got away from the Jets in the second period when Ottawa's Alex Galchenyuk scored on the power play to make it 3-1. But the Jets would weather the storm and have their captain Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele to thank for helping out with the comeback as they assisted the next two goals by the Jets. In overtime Andrew Copp found a streaking Ehlers on an odd-man rush who sealed the comeback for the Jets who come away with a much needed two points. Fantasy GMs who have members of the Winnipeg Jets could breathe a sigh of relief as they look to have found their scoring touch again.

Red Sox signed RHP Zac Grotz to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Grotz had an ugly 7.30 ERA in 24 2/3 innings of relief with the Mariners between 2019-2020, but he's posted impressive numbers in the upper minors and may have a real shot of claiming a spot in Boston's bullpen.
