Fantasy Impact

Anderson looked sharp in this bounceback performance after struggling in his first two starts of the season. He lowered his ERA to 4.02 and has put up a solid 14:4 K:BB over 15.2 innings. He could be a decent streaming option next week as he lines up to face the Tigers on Tuesday.

Tyler Anderson (0-2) was saddled with his second loss of the season against the Cubs on Thursday. He allowed three runs on 10 hits and no walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

Fantasy Impact

Anderson was not at his sharpest on Thursday, allowing 10 hits over 5.1 innings, including two homers. There was some speculation that Anderson would be an interesting sleeper this season after leaving Colorado, and his strikeout number do bear watching. Otherwise, wins will be few and far between for the left-hander. He has a 5.23 ERA and 1.65 WHIP across 10.1 innings this season. He lines up to take on the Padres next week.

Tyler Anderson (0-1) picked up the loss Saturday against the Cubs. He allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

Fantasy Impact

Anderson allowed three runs through the first three innings, but settled in afterwards and turned in a decent outing, despite the loss. The seven strikeouts are a pleasant surprise, as Anderson has not been a high strikeout pitcher historically. Anderson is not an intriguing fantasy option at this point. He lines up to take on the Cubs next on Thursday.

The Pirates signed LHP Tyler Anderson to a major-league contract.

Fantasy Impact

It's a one-year, $2.5 million deal for Anderson. The southpaw was non-tendered by the Giants this offseason but will enter the 2021 campaign with a spot in the Pirates' rotation. He doesn't have any fantasy value right now, however.

Starting pitcher Tyler Anderson was non-tendered by the Giants on Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Fantasy Impact

In 2020, Anderson pitched to a 4.37 ERA with 41 strikeouts over 59 2/3 innings. His appeal in fantasy will depend on his landing spot in free agency, but he's unlikely to be rostered outside of deeper formats.
