JANUARY 3 • DALLASNEWS.COM
Dealt to Brewers Anderson was traded from the Rangers to the Brewers in exchange for Mason Molina on Thursday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Anderson was designated for assignment Monday to make room for Joc Pederson on the Rangers' 40-man roster, though it's not necessarily a big surprise for another team to show interest in him. He's posted strikeout rates of 38.3 and 28.3 percent with Triple-A Round Rock in each of the last two seasons, giving him enough strikeout upside to contribute out of a big-league bullpen.

Designated for assignment The Rangers designated Anderson for assignment Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Impact The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Joc Pederson, whose signing was officially announced. Anderson, 27, holds a 6.35 ERA and 59:24 K:BB over 62.1 relief innings across the last two seasons. He has a 32.7 percent strikeout rate at the Triple-A level, so it's possible Anderson draws interest via trade or waivers.

Anderson appears to have escaped with a bruise, but it will still cost him at least a couple weeks and could perhaps end his season. Owen White was recalled in a corresponding move.

Snags first save Anderson retired the only batter he faced to earn the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.
Impact Anderson got Lenyn Sosa to fly out for the final out of the game after Andrew Chafin struggled in the ninth inning. Kirby Yates had pitched earlier in the day, earning the save in a game that was suspended Tuesday and finished Wednesday. Anderson has a 7.92 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB over 25 innings in the majors this year, adding a save, a hold and a blown save. He's likely resume a multi-inning role over the final month of the campaign after this rare chance to close.
