Shaun Anderson Pitches Clean Frame In Friars Debut
San Diego Padres reliever Shaun Anderson recorded two strikeouts and a walk in his team debut Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Acquired from the Baltimore Orioles earlier this month and called up from Triple-A this week, the 26-year-old right-hander pitched a clean 14th frame with the game on the line. Anderson owns an ugly 8.69 ERA this season in 19 innings but with the Friars pitching staff going off the rails, he could be relied upon to provide bulk innings down the stretch. As with most middle relievers, Anderson is off the fantasy radar.
Baltimore Orioles pitcher Shaun Anderson has been claimed off waivers by the San Diego Padres, according to Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun. Over 11 games with the Orioles and the Twins this year, Anderson has posted a 9.16 ERA, 2.143 WHIP and 14.7 percent strikeout rate across 18 2/3 innings of work. It's possible that he could have slightly better value in San Diego, but more likely than not he can remain on the waiver wire in all formats.
Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Shaun Anderson (quad) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left quad on Tuesday. Anderson has appeared in just three games for the Twins this season, pitching to a 9.00 ERA and 2.40 WHIP across five innings. Cody Stashak, who was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on May 7, will be called up in a corresponding roster move. After a solid 2020 season, Stashak has taken a step back in 2021, allowing 10 earned runs and 12 hits in 10 2/3 innings pitched.
The Minnesota Twins acquired relief pitcher Shaun Anderson from the Giants in exchange for outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. After adding Hansel Robles and Alex Colome to solidify the back end of the bullpen, Minnesota seems to be bringing in Anderson to fortify the middle innings. The 26-year-old reliever pitched to a 3.52 ERA in 15.1 innings with 18 strikeouts, though a bloated walk rate raised his FIP to 5.73. If he can showcase better control, he'll be a welcome addition to the Twins' bullpen, though he's likely off the fantasy radar for now. Wade, who owns a career .684 OPS in 42 games, will compete for a roster spot on the Giants this spring but is also not fantasy-relevant at the moment.
Shaun Anderson, Steven Duggar Optioned To Triple-A
The San Francisco Giants optioned relief pitcher Shaun Anderson and outfielder Steven Duggar to Triple-A on Thursday. Anderson was expected to be part of a closer committee in San Francisco with Tony Watson, Trevor Gott and Tyler Rogers, but he'll now start the 2020 season in the minor leagues. The 25-year-old should be up in the big leagues at some point this year, but he'll be off the fantasy radar until then as a speculative source for saves. Duggar hit just .234 with four home runs and 28 RBI in 261 at-bats last year and is primarily outfield depth for the Giants.
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Shaun Anderson (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Anderson was removed after three innings on Wednesday due to a blister on his middle finger. He shouldn't be sidelined too much longer than the 10 days. Sam Selman has been recalled from the minors to take over the active spot on the roster. He's been impressive in the minors, but Selman has been crushed during his four appearances in the majors.
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Shaun Anderson was removed from his start Wednesday with a blister on his pitching hand. Manager Bruce Bochy said after the game Anderson may miss a start with the blister issue. Anderson had not been pitching well anyway having allowed four runs in the three innings and his ERA now sits at a ghastly 5.33. His FIP is almost as bad at 4.81 and his strikeout rate of 15.1 is among the lowest in baseball. He does not need to be owned in redraft leagues even if he makes his next start.
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Shaun Anderson was scheduled to make the start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. However, the Giants have decided to push back Anderson for now. Anderson's ERA now sits at 5.06 on the year, so a demotion to the bullpen could be happening. Dereck Rodriguez or Conner Menez could draw the start on Thursday, but the Giants haven't announced that information yet.
Shaun Anderson Turns In Another Mediocre Start Wednesday
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Shaun Anderson took a no-decision in Wednesday's 11-8 win at the Rockies. Anderson allowed five runs on eight hits (including a two-run home run) and two walks with one strikeout in 4 1/3 innings pitched. The 24-year-old started out the season strong but now owns a poor 4.87 ERA with 41 strikeouts and 22 walks in 64 2/3 IP. Fantasy players can ignore Anderson except perhaps in deep leagues. His next matchup will be a not-so-favorable one against the Cubs at home.
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Shaun Anderson turned in a decent start in a tough matchup in Friday's 10-7 win over the Brewers. Anderson pitched five innings, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks with eight strikeouts. The 24-year-old now has a 4.48 ERA with 40 strikeouts and 20 walks in 60 1/3 IP. He is scheduled to face another tough matchup in his next start at the Rockies. Fantasy players should avoid Anderson in this start.
