2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Angels bet big that Anderson's progress with the Dodgers in 2022 was sticky, as they signed the lefty to a three-year, $40 million contract in November of that year. He kept the same formula, but his walks spiked and he was far more hittable in the zone. Opponents hit more than 40 points higher against Anderson and as a result his WHIP jumped from 1.00 to 1.49, while his ERA shot up nearly three full runs to 5.43. The estimators suggest he might have deserved better, but not much. Anderson has never been a big strikeout pitcher (career 20.1 K%), and it's looking more and more like the Dodgers captured lightning in a bottle during his All-Star campaign. That said, he will get his chance to bounce back and prove that season wasn't a total fluke with regular starts, at least to begin 2024. If the results don't improve, the Angels could eventually bounce him from the rotation. Read Past Outlooks
Slated for spring debut Wednesday
Anderson (knee) is scheduled to start Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Rockies, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Anderson missed the final two weeks of the 2023 regular season due to left knee soreness, but he appears to have had a normal offseason and will toe the rubber for the Angels' fifth spring training game. After inking a three-year, $39 million deal with the Angels in November 2022, Anderson wasn't able to meet expectations in his first season in Anaheim, as he delivered a 5.43 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 119:64 K:BB in 141 innings. His contract should still give him plenty of security in the rotation in the early part of the upcoming season, but if Anderson continues to deliver middling results in his second year in Anaheim, it wouldn't be a surprise if the Angels shifted him to the bullpen and gave a younger pitcher a look in a starting role.

Anderson turned his career around with the Dodgers after six mostly underwhelming seasons between Colorado, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Seattle. He went 10-1 with a 2.96 ERA and 1.02 WHIP across his first 17 appearances in Dodger Blue to earn his first career All-Star nod, and Anderson was even better in the second half from a ratio standpoint. The lefty attributed his success to a small tweak to his changeup grip. That may seem simplistic, but Statcast hard-hit and chase rates ranking in the top 5% of the league would seem to bode well for sustainability. Across town, the Angels took notice and the front office believed enough in his 2022 to sign the lefty to a three-year, $40 million contract. The Angels have gone with a six-man rotation in recent years, which can be frustrating at times for fantasy managers. Subtract a few starts and throw in two scoops of regression when projecting Anderson for 2023.
