Anderson, a left-handed starter missed the entire 2015 season elbow injury but was still placed on the 40-man roster. In 2014 he was the Texas League Pitcher of The Year playing for the Tulsa Drillers (Double-A). He had a 7-4 record with a 1.98 ERA in 23 starts. The 26-year-old has already made one appearance this year at High-A Modesto in rehab and could potentially make his big league debut before September Call-Ups.
