B. Anderson - SP

MIL

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.

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.

MIL

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

MIL

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.

K. Palmieri - F

New Jersey hasn't been shopping Kyle Palmieri, but there haven't been meaningful contract talks yet.

"Our talks have been very preliminary in nature. We’re happy to be patient to see what a fair deal is, it’s not contentious at all, we’ve got time," said agent Brian Bartlett on Monday. Palmieri will enter the final season of a five-year contract that has a bargain cap hit of $4.65 million. He netted 25 goals and earned 45 points in 65 games last season. Palmieri could end up on the trade block if the two sides can't come to terms on an extension, but the priority right now appears to be to get a contract done.

T. Woods - G

The Hero World Challenge has announced that the 2020 edition of the 18-man exhibition event will not be played this December, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The TGR Foundation is the annual host of the Hero World Challenge. It's an 18-man event this was set to take place in the Bahamas this December, opposite of the Mayakoba Golf Classic. "Given the current global restrictions and ongoing developments resulting from COVID-19, the 2020 Hero World Challenge will not be played this year. This decision was made with the health and well-being of all tournament constituents and the Albany community in mind. We look forward to hosting 18 of the top players in the world and welcoming tournament guests to Albany, Bahamas next year." While Tiger won't be pegging it in the Bahamad this winter, he will be playing at Sherwood Country Club this week as he preps for his title defense at the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP. Woods has been slumping with six straight finishes outside of the top 35 but his iron play has remained sharp during the slump. He is a five-time champion at Sherwood Country Club, most recent coming at the 2011 Hero World Challenge.

D. Johnson - G

Dustin Johnson has removed his name from the field ahead of this week's ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP @ SHERWOOD. Next alternate, Matt Kuchar, will take his spot in the field.

DJ experienced COVID-19 symptoms last week and then tested positive for the virus. That forced him to WD ahead of THE CJ CUP @ SHADOW CREEK. He remained committed to play in this week's ZOZO but there were no real expectations for him to remain in the field after last week's positive test. The most likely return spot for him remains the Vivint Houston Open, in two weeks. That will give him one week to shake off the rust before competing at Augusta National.

E. Haula - F

Erik Haula is going over his options, as he remains unsigned 11 days into free agency.

"We’re sorting through conversations that we’ve had with numerous teams," Haula’s agent, Jay Grossman, told Pierre LeBrun on Monday. "Really we’ve probably talked to 10-12 teams that have had legitimate interest. We’re just sorting through those options." He is looking for the right fit after completing a three-year contract that carried a $2.75 million cap hit. Haula recorded 12 goals and 24 points in 48 games with Carolina and Florida last season.

Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot reports Browns TE David Njoku is still looking to be traded before the November 3 deadline.

Njoku initially asked to be dealt on July 3, rescinded that request prior to camp, and has since changed his tune again in looking for a new home prior to the November 3 trade deadline. The Browns have yet to show any interest in trading the 24-year-old but, as Cabot notes, that could change with "an offer they can't refuse." Njoku has been linked to the Patriots as a potential destination dating back to August.

NYG

Giants coach Joe Judge said Sterling Shepard's (toe, IR) status for Week 7 could "come down to a pre-game workout."

Judge said Shepard is "getting closer" and may be able to return Thursday night; that of course would entail Shepard being activated from injured reserve first. With Darius Slayton limited for Monday's walkthrough, fantasy players should monitor New York's injury reports leading up to Thursday's kick-off against the Eagles.
