Brett Anderson rudely welcomed back to action

by Stan Son | Sun, Aug 14th 9:25pm EDT

Brett Anderson allowed five hits (two home runs), five earned runs, and walked one in one inning of work Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. To make matters worse, Anderson exited the game with a wrist injury. 19-of-30 pitches were thrown for strikes.

Fantasy Impact:

This was Anderson's first start since undergoing lower-back surgery earlier this year. Prior to last year's amazing 180 1/3 inning performance, Anderson had failed to pitch 100 innings in the prior four seasons due to injury. It would be a surprise if Anderson were to become fantasy relevant the remainder of the year.
