B. Anderson - SP

MIL

Brett Anderson coughed up three runs over 2 2/3 innings on Saturday in a Cactus League start against the Rangers.

Anderson surrendered four hits, including an RBI single to Isiah Kiner-Falefa and a two-run double to Ronald Guzman in the opening frame. He struck out a pair of batters and only issued one walk in this one. He appears to be fine after being scratched from his scheduled Cactus League start on Tuesday due to flu-like symptoms. The 32-year-old southpaw, who inked a one-year deal this offseason, has allowed five runs (four earned) with a 4/2 K/BB ratio across three innings this spring, and appears to be locked into the Brewers’ Opening Day rotation. He recorded a 3.89 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 90/49 K/BB ratio across 176 innings of work (31 starts) with the Athletics last season. There’s some NL-only appeal lurking here, but Anderson simply doesn’t miss enough bats to warrant a mixed-league investment entering the 2020 campaign.

Brett Anderson (flu) is scheduled to return to Cactus League action on Saturday.

Anderson was scratched from a scheduled Cactus League start on Tuesday due to flu-like symptoms, but he's feeling fine now. The veteran starter signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Brewers in December after posting a 3.89 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 90/49 K/BB ratio over 176 innings (31 starts) with the Athletics in 2019.

Brett Anderson (flu) returned to Brewers camp on Wednesday.

Anderson had to be scratched from his scheduled Cactus League start on Tuesday versus the Padres after coming down with the flu, but he is fine now and will presumably get into a game this weekend. The veteran left-hander seems to be assured of a spot in Milwaukee's season-opening starting rotation after signing a one-year, $5 million free agent deal with the club back in early December.

B. Anderson - SP

Anderson is currently slated to open the season in the Brewers' starting rotation, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Anderson signed a one-year deal with the Brewers after posting a 3.89 ERA over 31 starts with the A's last season, and according to manager Craig Counsell he opens camp safely in the rotation, presumably in the fourth spot behind Brandon Woodruff, Adrian Houser and Josh Lindblom.

B. Anderson - SP

MIL

Anderson agreed to a one-year contract with the Brewers on Friday.

Anderson will make a base salary of $5 million, with the chance to earn an additional $2 million in incentives, Buster Olney of ESPN reports. The veteran lefty won 13 games with a 3.89 ERA for Oakland last season. He tied his career high by making 31 starts, though he'd made just 33 over the previous three seasons combined, so there's still plenty of injury risk here. He'll also be pitching in a far tougher home park, so his 12.1 percent strikeout rate might stand out as a more notable negative than it was last season.

B. Anderson - SP

MIL

Anderson (13-9) allowed three hits and one walk while striking out three over five scoreless innings in a win over the Mariners on Saturday.

Anderson up zeros and the bullpen did as well, with rookie Jesus Luzardo ultimately closing out a 1-0 victory. The lefty ends the regular season having allowed more than three earned runs in just one of his final 10 starts. He brought his ERA under 4.00 for the season and it looks like Anderson may get a start in the ALDS if the A's are able to advance past next Wednesday's Wild Card Game.

Anderson did not factor into the decision against Kansas City on Tuesday, hurling five innings and giving up one run on five hits and no walks while striking out two.

Anderson made only 66 pitches, 40 of which were strikes, but was pulled after five frames for his third straight start. The strategy -- likely precipitated by Anderson's 5.13 ERA after the fifth inning this season -- has yielded mostly positive results, as Oakland has won each of the southpaw's last three starts while he has surrendered six earned runs over 15 innings. Anderson now holds a 4.00 ERA and 1.32 WHIP this season and is next scheduled to face the Angels in Los Angeles on Sept. 25.

Anderson (12-9) picked up the win in Wednesday's 5-3 victory over the Astros, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings while striking out four.

After a 1-2-3 first inning, Houston got runners into scoring position in each of the next four frames, but Anderson was able to limit the damage. The veteran lefty will take a 4.07 ERA and 85:48 K:BB through 166 innings into his next start Tuesday, at home against the Royals.

Anderson allowed five earned runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out four across five innings Thursday against the Angels. He did not factor in the decision.

Anderson struggled with the top of the Angels' order, allowing both Mike Trout and Justin Upton to have big performances against him. The damage began in the first inning when Upton doubled in two runs. Two innings later, Anderson allowed a two-run homer to Mike Trout, before again being tagged by Upton for an RBI single to end his outing. The effort marked the third time in Anderson's past eight starts that he's allowed four or more earned runs, though he turned in quality starts in each of his other five appearances. For the season, Anderson has maintained a respectable 4.19 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 161 innings. He's scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at Houston.

Anderson is slated to start Thursday's series finale against the Angels, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Chris Bassitt had initially been in line to start Thursday, but he'll instead have his turn pushed back to Saturday's game against Detroit after he left the team Wednesday following the birth of his daughter, Landry. Since the Athletics recently added another starter to their rotation in Sean Manaea, Anderson will be taking the hill on five days' rest and won't be facing any restrictions with his pitch count.

B. Anderson - SP

MIL

Anderson (11-9) allowed two runs on six hits with two walks and one strikeout across six innings while earning a victory against the Yankees on Friday.

It's hard to win a game while striking out one batter during six innings in today's baseball, but Anderson did just that in this victory and has done that most of the season. However, wins have been hard to come by for Anderson lately, as he is 2-4 with a 4.39 ERA during the second half. Overall, Anderson, who will start next at home against the Tigers on Friday, owns a 4.04 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 77 strikeouts in 156 innings this season.

Petan's initial absence from the camp roster was a bit of a surprise, but he has been deemed fit to play. Dubas said Petan will replace defenseman Mac Hollowell on the team's Phase 3 Return to Play roster. Petan had three assists in 16 games with the Leafs during the 2019-20 season.

J. Phillips - LB

CLE

Browns signed third-round LB Jacob Phillips to a four-year contract.

Phillips (6’3/229) was a two-year starting inside linebacker at LSU who led the SEC in tackles (113) as a junior during the Tigers’ National Championship season. He’s an instinctual player who plugs gaps against the run while remaining in control of his body, but his best trait is his reliable tackling. He finished 5th in PFF’s tackling grade among 460 FBS qualifiers, only missing 5-of-75 potential tackles. He was serviceable in coverage (7.2 YPT allowed) as well, although shiftier NFL players will give him more trouble. Jacobs, a 35th percentile athlete with 4.66 speed, could compete for starting reps on defense but should at least be an asset on special teams given his vision and high-end college production. Phillips just turned 21 years old on draft night.

V. Hovland - G

Playing in the final group, Viktor Hovland swallowed a 1-under-par 34-37=71 during round four of the Workday Charity Open, finishing the week on 15-under 273 to secure a solo third on the final leaderboard.

The Oklahoma State product started two strokes off the 54-hole lead set by Justin Thomas and Hovland pumped his foot on the gas early with a three-hole birdie train beginning at the par-4 third hole. The par-4 sixth is where his round took a turn for the worse as he found water on his approach, leading to a bogey. That sapped all of the energy from his game and he stumbled home with one birdie and two bogeys on the homeward nine. Hovland walked off the course losing 2.35 strokes putting today which is already the ninth time in his young career that he's lost two or more strokes putting in a measured round. This wasn't the round that he wanted today but there are still plenty of positives to talk away from the week as it will go in the books as his fifth straight top 25 since return from break and also the second podium finish of his career (win at the 2020 Puerto Rico Open).
