Notches first save of season
Anderson walked one and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his first save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Angels.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old righty had five previous career saves, all of them coming with the Halos in 2018-19. Anderson hasn't exactly been sharp of late, posting a 4.15 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB through 8.2 innings in September, but he misses bats with his fastball-slider combo and can be an effective high-leverage arm when he maintains a semblance of control. If the White Sox have any more late leads to protect over the final handful of games this season, Anderson could get the call again.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
Anderson is a tease to watch out of the bullpen. He has a live arm with a fastball that pushes into the upper 90s and a solid breaking ball. He has utilized that combination to strike out 28% of the major-league hitters he has faced over the past two seasons. He has also struggled to locate both pitches and has walked 16% of the hitters he has faced leading to a 4.75 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in just over 100 career innings. He simply cannot be used in high-leverage situations with that kind of walk rate. If he could find consistent command of his pitches, his career path could take off in a hurry as the expected stats were very much in his favor in 2019, but to date, he has been unable to get out of his own way.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to miss spring training
Anderson, who injured his oblique muscle while playing catch, will miss 4-to-6 weeks with the injury.
ANALYSIS
The right-handed reliever's recovery timeline knocks him out for most, if not all, of the Angels' exhibition slate. Anderson was reportedly just a handful of throws away from finishing the session when he suffered the injury, which comes in the wake of an offseason during which he concentrated on core strengthening after struggling with trapezius muscle problems last season. Anderson logged 47 innings out of the bullpen in 2019, although he generated an unsightly 5.55 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in the process.
