Placed on 60-day injured list Anderson (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Friday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact The move was an expected one, as it was previously reported that Anderson's partially torn elbow ligament would keep him out past the midpoint of the season. It clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the Rays to add Andrew Kittredge.

Anderson confident Rays bullpen can thrive while he's out
Tampa Bay relievers Nick Anderson will miss at least half the season with an elbow injury that’s not expected to require surgeryMARCH 26, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Trying non-surgical options Anderson expects to try a platelet-rich plasma injection or stem cell treatment to address his partially torn elbow ligament, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Anderson's elbow woes are expected to keep him out until after the All-Star break. He's not planning on undergoing surgery at this point, though the aforementioned treatments don't have a 100 percent success rate, so he may be forced to change his plans eventually. Diego Castillo and Pete Fairbanks look like the top ninth-inning options in his absence, though the Rays are famously creative with their pitchers' roles, so it's always possible someone else enters the picture.

Chisox star Jiménez out 5-6 months, Rays' Anderson ailing
A week before opening day, the Chicago White Sox found out slugger Eloy Jiménez will be closed down for most of the seasonMARCH 26, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Out past All-Star break Anderson (elbow) has a partial tear of his elbow ligament and is likely to be out past the All-Star break, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Anderson has been battling an elbow issue since March 17 and showed decreased velocity in his latest spring training appearance. Surgery has not recommended, leaving open the possibility that he could return at some point late in the season. The injury removes Anderson from the Rays' closer picture, leaving Diego Castillo and Pete Fairbanks as the most likely pitchers to account for saves.
