Royals Release Nick Anderson

After being designated for assignment on July 14, the Kansas City Royals announced on Friday that they have released relief pitcher Nick Anderson. The veteran reliever has had success in the past, mainly with the Tampa Bay Rays and threw to a 4.04 ERA with 29 strikeouts in 35 2/3 innings for the Royals this season. Although he went unclaimed on waivers, many teams are always looking for relievers and he should be able land on his feet in another organization. Regardless of where he may wind up, Anderson can safely remain on the waiver wire.

Royals Land Nick Anderson In Trade With Braves

The Kansas City Royals acquired relief pitcher Nick Anderson from the Atlanta Braves on Friday in exchange for cash considerations, according to a source. The Braves were expected to non-tender Anderson, so they'll get a little cash instead. Anderson's season ended prematurely due to a shoulder injury. Before that, he went 4-0 with a 3.06 ERA (3.09 FIP), 1.10 WHIP, one save, nine walks and 36 strikeouts in 35 1/3 relief innings in his first big-league season since 2021 with the Tampa Bay Rays. As long as the 33-year-old veteran right-hander is healthy in 2024, he could be in line for a bigger late-inning role in Kansas City's bullpen.

Nick Anderson Could Pitch For Braves This Postseason

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Nick Anderson (shoulder) could be an option in the later rounds of the playoffs, should the Braves make it there. Anderson has been rehabbing a strained right shoulder and appears to be ready to go if needed. He got up to 94 mph on his fastball, a mark he was at before his injury, in his most recent session. The righty had a 3.06 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 36 strikeouts over 35 1/3 innings for the Braves this season and could become an important part of their bullpen this postseason if he can get back to the level he was at before his injury.

Braves Put Nick Anderson On 60-Day Injured List

The Atlanta Braves placed right-hander Nick Anderson (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list (retroactive to July 8) with a right-shoulder strain on Thursday to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Dalton Guthrie, who was claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants. Guthrie was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. It's a tough break for Anderson, who had been valuable this year in fantasy leagues that count holds. The 33-year-old reliever had posted a solid 3.06 ERA (3.11 FIP), 1.10 WHIP, one save, nine walks and 36 strikeouts in 35 1/3 relief innings in his first year in Atlanta. Anderson now won't be available to return to the Braves until September.

Nick Anderson Earns First Save Of Season Tuesday

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Nick Anderson picked up his first save of the season in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Reds. Anderson came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by one and delivered a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout. While A.J. Minter has seen the most save opportunities so far with Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) on the injured list, he had pitched the two previous days. Further, four pitchers have seen save opportunities in the Braves' first 12 games. Anderson has looked good in the early going, posting a 3.18 ERA with a 12.71 K/9 rate in 5 2/3 innings pitched. He may be worth a look in deep roto leagues, but it still seems like Minter is the arm to roster in fantasy until Iglesias returns.

Nick Anderson Optioned To Minors

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Nick Anderson has been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. The important thing is that Anderson was able to get through the spring healthy. The right-hander didn't pitch at all in 2022 due to injuries. In fact, Anderson has only pitched in 25 games over the last three seasons. When healthy, Anderson has been a dominant reliever, which is why the Braves took a chance on him. The organization probably wants Anderson to get a little more work under his belt before promoting him to the big league roster. He's not expected to have fantasy value in Atlanta unless he becomes a ninth-inning option.

Nick Anderson To Make Spring Debut Wednesday

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Nick Anderson (foot) is set to make his Grapefruit League debut on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Anderson didn't pitch at all in the big leagues in 2022 and finished the season on the 60-day injured list due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. The 32-year-old right-handed reliever should make Atlanta's Opening Day bullpen if he proves he's back to full health this spring. Anderson tossed only six innings for the Rays in 2021, but he was dominant in 2020 with a 0.55 ERA, 0.49 WHIP and a career-high six saves in 16 1/3 innings. It remains to be seen if he can return to being one of the most dominant relievers in the game, but he's worth keeping an eye on if he makes the Opening Day roster.

Nick Anderson Agrees With The Braves

The Atlanta Braves and right-handed reliever Nick Anderson agreed to a major-league contract on Friday, according to sources. The 32-year-old will play on a split deal that will pay $875,000 if he's in the big leagues and $180,000 if he's in the minors in 2023. Anderson cleared outright waivers with the Tampa Bay Rays to become a free agent on Thursday, and he quickly latched on with the Braves. He's made just six major-league appearances in the last two years due to injuries, but he's proven that he can be a high-leverage bullpen arm when healthy. Anderson has a career 2.89 ERA (2.57 FIP), a 0.96 WHIP, eight saves and 137 strikeouts in 87 1/3 innings over three MLB seasons to this point.

Nick Anderson Outrighted By The Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays outrighted right-handed relief pitcher Nick Anderson on Wednesday, according to sources. Anderson is now on waivers and the other 29 teams can now add him to their major-league roster. If he clears waivers, he will remain in Tampa's minor-league system. Injuries have derailed Anderson's career since 2020. He pitched in just six innings for the Rays in 2021 and wasn't seen at all this year. The 32-year-old veteran relief arm will be intriguing to a team looking for bullpen help. In the shortened 2020 season, he had a 0.55 ERA (1.35 FIP), a 0.49 WHIP, six saves and 26 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings pitched, so if he can get healthy again, he could return to a high-leverage role at the back of a bullpen.

Nick Anderson To Pitch At Triple-A On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays reliever Nick Anderson (elbow) is having his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Durham. According to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Anderson will pitch for the Durham Bulls on Saturday. The 32-year-old is working his way back from right elbow surgery, which he underwent last October. He began his rehab stint at the Florida Complex League about a week ago. He made two appearances there and allowed two hits, one walk and one unearned run while striking out two over 1.1 innings.
