Nick Anderson News
Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Nick Anderson(elbow) was reinstated from the injured list Sunday morning, meaning he could finally be set to make his season debut. Anderson had a charmed season in 2020, posting a 0.55 ERA and 0.49 WHIP with 26 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings across 19 appearances with six saves. Anderson immediately becomes one of the top options in a stacked Tampa Bay bullpen, though fantasy managers should temper expectations in terms of saves, as the Rays have had 13 different pitchers save a game this season.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Nick Anderson (elbow) will throw a bullpen session on Saturday. The 31-year-old's rehab has been delayed due to COVID-related issues. He has been sidelined all season due to a partially torn UCL. Anderson is trending in the right direction but currently has no timetable for a return. He was excellent out of the Rays' bullpen in 2020, racking up 12 solds (six saves, six holds) along with a 0.55 ERA and 0.49 WHIP across 16 1/3 innings in 2021. Once activated from the 60-day injured list, Anderson will be in the mix for saves and is worth stashing in all league formats. The Rays will continue to use a closer-by-committee until Pete Fairbanks and Anderson can return.
Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Nick Anderson (elbow) will participate in another rehab outing on Monday. The 31-year-old hasn't played this season as he continues to work his way back from partially torn UCL. The righty recorded two strikeouts during an inning of work on Friday during an outing in the Florida Complex League and is on tap for another single frame to begin the week. It appears as if Anderson is trending in the right direction, and he is worth a stash in leagues that reward for saves and holds.

After a fantastic rookie season that included being shipped across the state from Miami to Tampa, Nick Anderson was ALL the hype for 2020 relief pitchers. He certainly followed it up with an impressive encore, with two wins, six saves, 0.55 ERA, 0.49 WHIP, and 26 K in just 16.1 IP across the shortened 2020 season while finishing as the RP6 in fantasy. Those stellar numbers came in as top six in ERA, top three in FIP, and the league-best WHIP among all relievers.Anderson relied on his fastball more in the shortened season, and it appeared to set up his slider perfectly as he also led all relievers in O-Swing% and registered a filthy 21.5 SwStr%. Despite the dominant stuff, fantasy owners should be aware that Anderson struggled mightily in the postseason, surrendering nine ER in 14.2 IP, while Diego Castillo came up clutch for Kevin Cash and earned three saves. Despite the possible lack of save opportunities compared to other top-10 fantasy relievers, Anderson's current ADP of 146 still offers potential value for the ratios and high strikeout-upside. But if your draft build is aiming for saves specifically, it might be best to look elsewhere.
