2024 Fantasy Outlook
Anderson made just one start at Triple-A last season before requiring Tommy John surgery, which is expected to sideline him until midseason of 2024. The right-hander pitched well across his first two big-league campaigns with a 3.25 ERA in 30 starts, but he scuffled to a 5.00 ERA over 111.2 innings during 2022 before finishing the year in the minors. Anderson has prospect pedigree and has found some success in the majors, but he hasn't been effective since 2021 and is coming off major elbow surgery. Assuming his rehab program goes smoothly, he could be available in the early summer, though fantasy managers will likely want to see something from him before committing any real resources.

Goes on Triple-A IL
Triple-A Gwinnett placed Anderson (elbow) on its 60-day injured list March 28.
ANALYSIS
Anderson remains on Atlanta's 40-man roster, but because he was optioned to Triple-A in March, he'll begin the season on Gwinnet's 60-day IL rather than the big club's. The right-hander isn't expected to be ready to pitch in games until the second half of the season while he completes his recovery from April 2023 Tommy John surgery.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Call-up unlikely in near future
Anderson is unlikely to be called up by Atlanta in the near future after making his first start of the season for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday and giving up four earned runs over two-thirds of an inning, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The fact the 24-year-old was starting at all Sunday is a strong indication he wasn't being considered to replace Max Fried, who is dealing with a hamstring strain, in Atlanta's rotation Wednesday. Anderson posted a 3.58 ERA across 128.1 innings for the big club in 2021 but took a major step back last season, and he continued those struggles in his first minor-league outing of 2023. The right-hander will likely need to get back on track with Gwinnett before getting another look in the majors.

Few players saw their stock drop as much over the past year as Anderson. He finished third in Rookie of the Year voting in 2021 and helped Atlanta to a title by allowing just three runs in four playoff starts, but his ERA backed all the way up to 5.00 in his second full season. He reached that number in 22 starts, as he was banished to the minors in mid-August and missed the tail end of the season with a strained oblique. Anderson's 4.25 FIP and 4.58 SIERA suggest that his ERA overstated his struggles to a certain extent, though neither number is encouraging. The 24-year-old carried a career 24.5 K% into the season but saw that mark drop to 19.7% last year, while his already high walk rate jumped to 11.0%. A merely above-average 47.9% groundball rate couldn't overcome those issues. Anderson's prospect pedigree and the fact that he pitched quite well in 2021 make him an interesting bounceback candidate, but there's no guarantee he even has a major-league role to begin the year.
