2021 Fantasy Outlook
Anderson began the season on the injured list with a blister issue. He was activated the first weekend and went on to make 10 starts, only missing one with shoulder soreness. Anderson improved his K% and BB% compared to 2019, but his 10.9 K-BB% was still well below league average. However, a 57.7% groundball rate limited homers, allowing Anderson to post an ERA a bit better than league average. That profile has a place on a fantasy roster as a streaming option in favorable matchups, but nothing more as Anderson's low strikeouts are a detriment overall in today's landscape. First things first, Anderson needs to latch on with a team looking for a veteran arm. With his checkered injury history, he's not likely to average more than five innings a start. Read Past Outlooks

Set to start Saturday
Anderson is scheduled to start Saturday's spring game against the Cubs, according to MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
Anderson's arrival in camp was a bit delayed, but he is ready to take the ball for the first time this spring. He is in position to break camp with a spot in the Brewers' rotation, and he will have ample time to build up his pitch count before Opening Day.

Anderson battled back after several injury-plagued seasons to clear 175 innings for the first time since 2015. He won 13 games on a playoff team with a 3.89 ERA, though he was barely usable in the rotisserie game given his ultra-low strikeout rate (12.1%). The lefty racked up a mere 90 strikeouts, 24 fewer than any other qualified starter. He made up for the lack of swing and miss to an extent with a low walk rate and by trimming his home-run rate in a record-setting HR season in Major League Baseball. Anderson is a sinkerball pitcher with a career groundball rate pushing 57%, and he was still right up near that mark in 2019. He joined the Brewers in free agency, and the move from cavernous Oakland Coliseum to Miller Park takes away most of his appeal as a streamer. He'll be a last resort in weeks where you're desperate for a win.
