Kade Anderson

Mariners GM Justin Hollander said that Kade Anderson is “definitely in the mix” for a rotation spot.

Fantasy Impact

The Mariners wound up trading Luis Castillo, while keeping George Kirby and Emerson Hancock. The top prospect is likely to get an opportunity later in August. He should be stashed in all leagues.

Kade Anderson threw five no-hit innings in a start for Double-A Arkansas on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Anderson was limited to just 56 pitches in his first start since the All-Star break. He struck out seven and forced 11 whiffs. One of the top pitching prospects in baseball, Anderson remains a player to monitor if the Mariners trade Luis Castillo or Emerson Hancock at the deadline.

Kade Anderson allowed two runs over six innings with nine strikeouts n Friday for Double-A Arkansas.

Fantasy Impact

Anderson has now posted a dominant 1.36 ERA with 108 strikeouts across 72 2/3 innings over 14 starts this season. He will headline the American League’s roster at the All-Star Futures Game. He should get his chance in the majors with the Mariners at some point later this year.

Kade Anderson allowed two hits over 5 1/3 scoreless innings with nine strikeouts in his latest start for Double-A Arkansas.

Fantasy Impact

Anderson did not allow any free passes and threw 53 of 73 pitches for strikes. He has posted a 1.43 ERA across his first nine professional starts. He'll have a chance to potentially reach the majors in some capacity at the end of the season, though it is currently a crowded rotation in Seattle.

Kade Anderson allowed three hits over 4 2/3 innings in his latest outing for Double-A Arkansas on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Anderson struck out seven, walked two and forced 13 whiffs over 75 pitches. His ERA is now down to 1.63 on the season. He has shown he can be MLB ready, but that might require the Mariners to trade one of their current starters.
