Fri Nov 17 202318:18Royals Land Nick Anderson In Trade With Braves
The Kansas City Royals acquired relief pitcher Nick Anderson from the Atlanta Braves on Friday in exchange for cash considerations, according to a source. The Braves were expected to non-tender Anderson, so they'll get a little cash instead. Anderson's season ended prematurely due to a shoulder injury. Before that, he went 4-0 with a 3.06 ERA (3.09 FIP), 1.10 WHIP, one save, nine walks and 36 strikeouts in 35 1/3 relief innings in his first big-league season since 2021 with the Tampa Bay Rays. As long as the 33-year-old veteran right-hander is healthy in 2024, he could be in line for a bigger late-inning role in Kansas City's bullpen.

Fri Oct 6 202300:47Nick Anderson Could Pitch For Braves This Postseason
Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Nick Anderson (shoulder) could be an option in the later rounds of the playoffs, should the Braves make it there. Anderson has been rehabbing a strained right shoulder and appears to be ready to go if needed. He got up to 94 mph on his fastball, a mark he was at before his injury, in his most recent session. The righty had a 3.06 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 36 strikeouts over 35 1/3 innings for the Braves this season and could become an important part of their bullpen this postseason if he can get back to the level he was at before his injury.

Thu Jul 13 202316:31Braves Put Nick Anderson On 60-Day Injured List
The Atlanta Braves placed right-hander Nick Anderson (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list (retroactive to July 8) with a right-shoulder strain on Thursday to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Dalton Guthrie, who was claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants. Guthrie was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. It's a tough break for Anderson, who had been valuable this year in fantasy leagues that count holds. The 33-year-old reliever had posted a solid 3.06 ERA (3.11 FIP), 1.10 WHIP, one save, nine walks and 36 strikeouts in 35 1/3 relief innings in his first year in Atlanta. Anderson now won't be available to return to the Braves until September.

Wed Apr 12 202300:38Nick Anderson Earns First Save Of Season Tuesday
Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Nick Anderson picked up his first save of the season in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Reds. Anderson came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by one and delivered a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout. While A.J. Minter has seen the most save opportunities so far with Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) on the injured list, he had pitched the two previous days. Further, four pitchers have seen save opportunities in the Braves' first 12 games. Anderson has looked good in the early going, posting a 3.18 ERA with a 12.71 K/9 rate in 5 2/3 innings pitched. He may be worth a look in deep roto leagues, but it still seems like Minter is the arm to roster in fantasy until Iglesias returns.

Mon Mar 20 202321:32Nick Anderson Optioned To Minors
Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Nick Anderson has been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. The important thing is that Anderson was able to get through the spring healthy. The right-hander didn't pitch at all in 2022 due to injuries. In fact, Anderson has only pitched in 25 games over the last three seasons. When healthy, Anderson has been a dominant reliever, which is why the Braves took a chance on him. The organization probably wants Anderson to get a little more work under his belt before promoting him to the big league roster. He's not expected to have fantasy value in Atlanta unless he becomes a ninth-inning option.

Wed Mar 1 202312:11Nick Anderson To Make Spring Debut Wednesday
Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Nick Anderson (foot) is set to make his Grapefruit League debut on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Anderson didn't pitch at all in the big leagues in 2022 and finished the season on the 60-day injured list due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. The 32-year-old right-handed reliever should make Atlanta's Opening Day bullpen if he proves he's back to full health this spring. Anderson tossed only six innings for the Rays in 2021, but he was dominant in 2020 with a 0.55 ERA, 0.49 WHIP and a career-high six saves in 16 1/3 innings. It remains to be seen if he can return to being one of the most dominant relievers in the game, but he's worth keeping an eye on if he makes the Opening Day roster.

Fri Nov 11 202219:11Nick Anderson Agrees With The Braves
The Atlanta Braves and right-handed reliever Nick Anderson agreed to a major-league contract on Friday, according to sources. The 32-year-old will play on a split deal that will pay $875,000 if he's in the big leagues and $180,000 if he's in the minors in 2023. Anderson cleared outright waivers with the Tampa Bay Rays to become a free agent on Thursday, and he quickly latched on with the Braves. He's made just six major-league appearances in the last two years due to injuries, but he's proven that he can be a high-leverage bullpen arm when healthy. Anderson has a career 2.89 ERA (2.57 FIP), a 0.96 WHIP, eight saves and 137 strikeouts in 87 1/3 innings over three MLB seasons to this point.

Wed Nov 9 202221:01Nick Anderson Outrighted By The Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays outrighted right-handed relief pitcher Nick Anderson on Wednesday, according to sources. Anderson is now on waivers and the other 29 teams can now add him to their major-league roster. If he clears waivers, he will remain in Tampa's minor-league system. Injuries have derailed Anderson's career since 2020. He pitched in just six innings for the Rays in 2021 and wasn't seen at all this year. The 32-year-old veteran relief arm will be intriguing to a team looking for bullpen help. In the shortened 2020 season, he had a 0.55 ERA (1.35 FIP), a 0.49 WHIP, six saves and 26 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings pitched, so if he can get healthy again, he could return to a high-leverage role at the back of a bullpen.

Thu Jul 28 202209:06Nick Anderson To Pitch At Triple-A On Saturday
Tampa Bay Rays reliever Nick Anderson (elbow) is having his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Durham. According to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Anderson will pitch for the Durham Bulls on Saturday. The 32-year-old is working his way back from right elbow surgery, which he underwent last October. He began his rehab stint at the Florida Complex League about a week ago. He made two appearances there and allowed two hits, one walk and one unearned run while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

Tue Jun 21 202211:25Rays Concerned About Nick Anderson
Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Nick Anderson (elbow) had been throwing multiple bullpen sessions per week after having elbow surgery, but he's scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday after experiencing what manager Kevin Cash called "a little bit of elbow discomfort." The team is concerned about Anderson, considering he's had setbacks without reaching the point of pitching in a competitive situation. The initial projection was that he'd be back after the All-Star break, but now it's anyone's guess. The 31-year-old right-hander hasn't pitched at all this year and tossed only six innings in 2021. Unless Anderson gets a favorable checkup from Meister, there's a real chance that he could miss the entire second half of the season as well.

Mon Jun 6 202211:10Luis Patino, Nick Anderson On The Mend
Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Luis Patino (oblique) faced hitters for the first time on June 1 and felt good while using all four of his pitches. Manager Kevin Cash said Patino will face hitters at least one more time after initially getting injured in his season debut on April 11. Meanwhile, reliever Nick Anderson (elbow) is throwing two to three bullpen sessions a week, with his latest coming on June 4. He'll likely need a few more side sessions before moving to live batting practice and then a minor league rehab assignment. Anderson's timetable is unclear, but the initial projection after his elbow surgery was that he'd be back with the Rays after the All-Star break in July.

Wed Feb 23 202216:39Nick Anderson Throwing From 60 Feet
Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Nick Anderson (elbow) is making progress after having surgery on his elbow last October and is throwing from 60 feet. The 31-year-old right-hander was a first-team All-MLB reliever in the shortened 2020 season, when he posted a microscopic 0.55 ERA, 0.49 WHIP, 26 strikeouts, three walks and a career-high six saves in 16 1/3 innings over 19 appearances out of the bullpen. Anderson suffered a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament early in spring training last year and pitched in six September games with his velocity down two to three mph. If he avoids setbacks, Anderson could be ready to go around the middle of the 2022 season, if there is one.

Thu Oct 28 202114:34Nick Anderson Undergoes Elbow Surgery
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Nick Anderson (elbow) underwent elbow surgery and is not expected to pitch until after the 2022 All-Star break. He will be shut down for the next three to four months. The Rays right-hander was sidelined most of 2021 with a torn elbow ligament. Anderson led the Rays with six saves in 2020 and owned a 26:3 K: BB over 16 1/3 innings. Tampa Bay will turn to Pete Fairbanks or Andrew Kittredge as the team's primary closer in 2022. Fantasy managers in deep-league dynasty formats can stash Anderson for now.

Thu Oct 7 202113:20Nick Anderson, Ryan Yarbrough Left Off ALDS Roster
The Tampa Bay Rays are leaving off pitchers Ryan YarbroughandNick Anderson (back) and outfielder Brett Phillips were left off the roster in the American League Divisional Series against the Boston Red Sox. Anderson continues to work his way from a lower-back strain and is considered day-to-day. Yarbrough struggled mightily in September, posting a 1-3 record along with a 9.00 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and a 13:4 K:BB across 21 innings over five appearances. The Rays will use Jordan Luplow as outfield depth over the veteran Phillips. The 28-year-old slashed .247/.345/.548 with an .893 OPS against right-handers in 2021.

Tue Sep 28 202108:39Nick Anderson Placed On Injured List With Back Strain
The Tampa Bay Rays placed relief pitcher Nick Anderson (back) on the 10-day injured list with a lower back strain on Monday. He'll miss the remainder of the regular season, but he'll be eligible to return for Game 1 of the ALDS. The 31-year-old right-hander has been plagued with injuries this year. He's only appeared in six games and he's pitched to a 4.50 ERA and 1.00 WHIP while converting his only save opportunity. He was dominant in 2020, maintaining a 0.55 ERA and 0.49 WHIP while striking out 26 over 16.1 innings. We'll see if he can work his way back into a high-leverage role with the team next year.

Mon Sep 27 202111:11Nick Anderson Records First Save On Sunday
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Nick Anderson allowed one earned run on one hit over one inning during Sunday's 3-2 win over the Miami Marlins. He didn't strike anyone out and surrendered a solo blast in the bottom of the ninth inning but still earned the save over the Marlins. The 31-year-old has now allowed an earned run over his last three appearances. Anderson will continue to split closing duties with Pete Fairbanks while incumbent closer Andrew Kittredge (shoulder) is sidelined. The Rays right-hander owns a 4.50 ERA with a 1:2 K:BB through six innings and can be rostered by fantasy managers searching for saves.

Wed Sep 22 202106:06Nick Anderson Tagged With The Loss Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Nick Anderson (0-1) allowed one earned run on one hit and a walk across one inning during Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. He didn't strike anyone out and was tagged with the loss. The 31-year-old yielded a sacrifice fly to Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette in the sixth inning. Anderson has now allowed an earned run in back-to-back appearances. The Rays continue to bring the right-hander back slowly after he returned from the injured list in mid-September. Anderson has been used in a middle-relief role and owns a 3.60 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and one strikeout over five innings. With the season winding down, fantasy managers can move on from Anderson as the Rays rely on Dietrich Enns and Pete Fairbanks to save games. At the same time, incumbent closer Andrew Kittredge (shoulder) is on the 10-day injured list. Enns recently notched his second save on Monday and is the Rays reliever fantasy managers should be targeting for the fantasy baseball playoffs.

Sun Sep 12 202111:06Nick Anderson Returns From The Injured List
Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Nick Anderson(elbow) was reinstated from the injured list Sunday morning, meaning he could finally be set to make his season debut. Anderson had a charmed season in 2020, posting a 0.55 ERA and 0.49 WHIP with 26 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings across 19 appearances with six saves. Anderson immediately becomes one of the top options in a stacked Tampa Bay bullpen, though fantasy managers should temper expectations in terms of saves, as the Rays have had 13 different pitchers save a game this season.

Sat Aug 7 202108:51Nick Anderson Will Throw Bullpen Session Saturday
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Nick Anderson (elbow) will throw a bullpen session on Saturday. The 31-year-old's rehab has been delayed due to COVID-related issues. He has been sidelined all season due to a partially torn UCL. Anderson is trending in the right direction but currently has no timetable for a return. He was excellent out of the Rays' bullpen in 2020, racking up 12 solds (six saves, six holds) along with a 0.55 ERA and 0.49 WHIP across 16 1/3 innings in 2021. Once activated from the 60-day injured list, Anderson will be in the mix for saves and is worth stashing in all league formats. The Rays will continue to use a closer-by-committee until Pete Fairbanks and Anderson can return.

Fri Mar 26 202118:44Anderson confident Rays bullpen can thrive while he's out
Tampa Bay reliever Nick Anderson will miss at least half the season with an elbow injury that’s not expected to require surgery and he is confident the Rays bullpen will continue to perform well without him. “We’ve got a great team. We’ve got plenty of arms. I don’t ever look at myself as a key piece or an important person,” the 30-year-old said Friday during a Zoom video conference from spring training in Port Charlotte, Florida. “I have just as much confidence in everybody else without me,” the right-hander added. “I don’t know if they feel the same way, but that’s the way I feel. We have a great group of guys. They’re going to do just fine.” Anderson, who helped the defending AL champions reach the playoffs each of the past two seasons, has a partially torn ligament in his pitching elbow that likely will sideline him beyond the All-Star break. He was placed on the 60-day injured list Friday. The Rays selected the contract of right-hander Andrew Kittredge from Triple-A Durham. Anderson... [More]
