Rockies get 7 hitless innings from Anderson, beat Giants 3-2 on throwing error in 9th

Tosses seven no-hit frames Anderson allowed a run on five walks over seven innings in Friday's win over San Francisco. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Anderson didn't give up a hit during his seven-inning performance but threw just 53 of 101 pitches for strikes. He coughed up a run in the second inning but followed that by retiring 12 consecutive batters. It was his longest start of the year and he tied his season best with seven punchouts. Despite the terrific start, Anderson still owns a 6.00 ERA with a 57:29 K:BB through 75 frames. He's currently projected to take the mound in San Diego next week.

Starting Friday Anderson will start Friday's game against the Giants, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Anderson was originally slated to start Thursday but the game was rained out, so he'll ultimately be pushed back one day. He's made two starts since being activated from the injured list and has given up eight earned runs across 7.1 innings while posting a 6:4 K:BB.

Thursday start rained out Anderson won't make his scheduled start after Thursday's game against the Giants was postponed due to inclement weather, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact The Giants and Rockies will play a doubleheader Saturday, and Anderson is expected to start one of the two games. The 35-year-old has allowed eight runs in 7.1 innings across two starts since returning from the injured list.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Yields six runs in loss Anderson (0-5) allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Giants.
Impact Anderson's second start back from shoulder inflammation went worse than his four-inning effort against Toronto last weekend. Thairo Estrada got to him for a two-run home run in the first inning and the Giants rallied for four more runs in the fourth. Anderson is now at a 6.49 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 50:24 K:BB through 68 innings between the Rockies and the Rays this year. He should be able to stick in Colorado's rotation if he stays healthy for the rest of the season. The right-hander is projected for a home rematch versus the Giants next week.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gets another turn through rotation Anderson is scheduled to start Saturday's game at San Francisco.
Impact After a nearly six-week stint on the injured list while he recovered from shoulder inflammation, Anderson returned to the Colorado rotation last weekend, giving up two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings in a no-decision against Toronto. Though he owns a poor 5.98 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 64.2 innings in the majors this season, Anderson looks like he'll stick around in the Colorado rotation for the foreseeable future after Austin Gomber back) was recently shut down for the season.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Goes four in return Anderson did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over four innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out three.
Impact Anderson pitched well in his return from a five-week stint on the injured list due to shoulder inflammation. He allowed a solo home run to Vladimir Guerrero in the third, then another to Spencer Horwitz in the fourth but otherwise held the Blue Jays in check during his brief outing. There's no telling if Anderson would have come out for the fifth, but a 59-minute rain delay effectively ended his outing. Anderson's next start is scheduled to take place when the Rockies travel to San Francisco for a weekend series against the Giants.

Reinstated ahead of start The Rockies reinstated Anderson (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list prior to his start Sunday against the Blue Jays.
Impact Right shoulder inflammation sent Anderson to the injured list in late July, and he's now been cleared to rejoin the Rockies' rotation and start Sunday. The 35-year-old righty gave up three runs over 5.2 innings during his rehab assignment while striking out two batters and walking five. With a 6.08 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, Anderson isn't likely to provide much fantasy value as the season nears its end.

Could be activated to start Sunday Rockies manager Bud Black said Friday that Anderson (shoulder) could be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's game versus the Blue Jays at Coors Field, MLB.com r...
Impact The Rockies have an opening in their rotation for the series finale with Toronto with Austin Gomber (back) unavailable to start on five days' rest, and Anderson looks like the top option to fill the void after making his second rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday. In that rehab start, Anderson struck out one while allowing no runs on two hits and four walks over three innings. Anderson covered 64 pitches Tuesday, so he should be able to give the Rockies something close to a typical starter's workload if he gets activated for Sunday's game.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared for rehab assignment Anderson (shoulder) allowed three runs over 2.2 innings Thursday in his first rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque.
Impact Anderson has been sidelined for just over a month with right shoulder inflammation but is ready to get built back up. He should either rejoin the Rockies' rotation or perhaps be used as a long reliever once he's deemed ready.
AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Resumes playing catch Anderson (shoulder) played catch Monday at a distance of a little over 90 feet, MLB.com reports.
Impact Monday marked the fourth consecutive day that Anderson was able to play catch, as the right-hander remains in the early phase of his throwing program while he works his way back from an inflamed right shoulder. Anderson could be cleared for a bullpen session later this week or early next week if he continues to respond well to playing catch while gradually extending the distance of his throws.
AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lands on injured list The Rockies placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Friday with right shoulder inflammation.
Impact Anderson holds a 6.08 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through 60.2 frames this season and will now be put on the shelf for a couple weeks. Even with the return of Kyle Freeland (shoulder) from the injured list Friday, Colorado only has three healthy starters on its roster, meaning more moves are likely coming.
JULY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Strikes out six over six frames Anderson did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings against Miami. He struck out six.
Impact Anderson struck out two of the first three batters he faced in a 1-2-3 first inning before giving up four consecutive to open the second, leading to one run coming across for Miami. He would allow another two runs in the bottom of the fifth but still managed to get through six innings for only the second time this season. It was a solid performance for the right-hander after hurling five shutout frames in his previous outing and he'll look to secure his first win with the Rockies next weekend when the team takes on Oakland at home.
JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Strong showing Sunday Anderson allowed three hits and two walks with one strikeout over five scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Sunday.
Impact Anderson was pummeled for an 18.23 ERA over his last four starts before the All-Star break, but he was much better after some time off. The right-hander remains a risky fantasy option given his home park and shaky overall numbers. He's at a 6.26 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 38:19 K:BB through 54.2 innings this season. Anderson is lined up to next take the mound for a road start in Miami.
JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Another ugly outing Anderson (0-4) took the loss Wednesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over four innings against Houston. He struck out three.
Impact Anderson's struggles continued Wednesday as the right-hander allowed three home runs, two of which came off the bat of Yainer Diaz. The right-hander was unable to make it through five innings for the fifth consecutive start, taking his third straight loss over his last three decisions. Anderson has now allowed at least five runs in each of his last four appearances, raising his ERA to 6.89 on the season.
JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles persist Thursday Anderson (0-3) allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings to take the loss Thursday versus the Dodgers.
Impact There's just one positive to take from this outing -- Anderson didn't give up a home run. This was the first time he's kept the ball in the yard since May 22. The results are getting downright ugly for the veteran right-hander, as he's covered just 9.1 innings while allowing 22 runs over his last three starts. He's now at a 6.50 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB through 45.2 innings between the Rockies and the Rays this season. He's tentatively lined up for a challenging road start in Houston next week.
JUNE 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Crushed again Saturday Anderson (0-2) allowed nine runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out one over 2.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Angels.
Impact Anderson gave up two runs through the first two innings, but he was responsible for seven of the 13 runs the Angels put up in the third. At one point, he gave up home runs on three straight pitches. After allowing just three runs over 20.2 innings in May, Anderson has unraveled in June. His ERA is now at 5.79 with a 1.45 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB through 42 innings between the Rockies and the Rays this season. With few better healthy options available, Colorado may have to let Anderson work through his slump. It's not going to get any easier if he makes his projected start at home versus the Dodgers next week.
JUNE 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Hit for seven runs in loss Anderson (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and four walks over three innings in a 14-6 loss to Atlanta. He struck out two.
Impact Things quickly went south for Anderson after he was staked to a 5-0 lead. He'd eventually surrender seven runs, six coming on a pair of three-run homers. The veteran right-hander now has a 9.24 ERA over his last three starts (12.2 innings) after pitching to a 1.69 mark through his first 26.2 innings this year. Overall, Anderson's ERA is up to 4.12 with a 1.25 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB through seven starts (39.1 innings) this season. He's currently in line for a home matchup with the Angels in his next outing.
JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Fans six in no-decision Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Red Sox, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.
Impact The Rockies spotted Anderson an early 4-0 lead by the top of the third inning, but the veteran right-hander quickly gave most of it back and got the hook after 89 pitches (60 strikes). His line could have been a lot worse -- he left the bases loaded when he exited in the fifth, but Colorado's bullpen and defense bailed him out. Anderson has yet to get a decision in six starts since moving into the rotation, but his 3.16 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB through 31.1 innings have been surprisingly solid. He lines up to face a tough test in his next outing, which is set to come this weekend in Atlanta.
JUNE 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Decent in no-decision Anderson did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk over 5.1 innings against the Giants. He struck out seven.
Impact It's the first time through five starts that Anderson has allowed more than two runs, though he did set a season high with seven strikeouts. The veteran right-hander has been solid since he was claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay, pitching to a 2.67 ERA with a 1.07 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB. However, a .222 BABIP against compared to an expected batting average of .273 indicates that Anderson is likely due for some regression.
JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tosses six innings Anderson yielded two runs on four hits and a walk over six innings during Friday's win against the Royals. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Anderson was in line for the loss after coughing up a pair of solo home runs but the Rockies' late comeback saved his record. He's allowed two or fewer runs in every outing this season, resulting in a 1.69 ERA through 26.2 frames. In four starts with Colorado, Anderson has compiled a 10:6 K:BB and a 2.08 ERA. He's currently lined up to face the Giants at home next week.
JUNE 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Solid again Saturday Anderson allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision versus the Mets.
Impact Anderson has seemingly defied Coors Field for three straight starts, allowing just three runs over 15.2 innings since he joined the Rockies. The right-hander was able to limit the damage to a Pete Alonso solo shot in the fourth inning, but the Rockies' bullpen couldn't maintain the lead. Anderson now has a 1.31 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB over 20.2 innings overall. He's tentatively projected for a road start versus Arizona next week.
