Anderson (10-15) took the loss Thursday against the White Sox, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and three walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out two.
Anderson blanked Chicago through four innings, but his start went downhill in the fifth frame. Five of the six batters Anderson faced reached safely ,and he was knocked out of the contest after allowing a two-RBI single to Andrew Vaughn and a two-RBI double to Lenyn Sosa back-to-back. With three games left on the Angels' schedule, Anderson's 2024 season has ended. He'll finish the campaign with a 3.81 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP and a 142:73 K:BB across 179.1 innings while losing his last four decisions.

Rotowire
Anderson (10-14) took the loss Friday, coughing up six runs (three earned) on eight hits over 2.2 innings as the Angels were downed 9-7 by the Astros. He struck out four.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Shaky in loss
Rotowire
Anderson (10-13) took the loss against the Astros on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.
Anderson got knocked around in the opening frame, giving up a bunt single to Jose Altuve to lead things off before eventually seeing him come home after throwing a wild pitch. The lefty would also allow two walks and a double in the inning, but managed to escape without sustaining any further damage. His luck would run out in the fifth, however, after he again surrendered a leadoff single to Jose Altuve, followed by a two-run blast to Yordan Alvarez. Anderson has now lost three of his last four decisions (spanning six starts), allowing four or more runs four times over that stretch. He's also issued multiple walks six consecutive outings and hasn't gotten through six innings in four straight.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Anderson allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and two walks while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against Texas on Saturday.
Anderson wasn't very efficient in the outing, needing 92 pitches to get through five frames and throwing just 58 of those offerings for strikes. However, he managed to carry a no-hitter into the fifth inning and allowed just four baserunners overall (on two walks, a double and a fielding error). Anderson also racked up an impressive 17 whiffs en route to seven punchouts. The left-hander has recorded a 3.50 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 132:67 K:BB through 167.1 innings on the season.

Rotowire
Anderson did not factor into the decision in a win over Seattle on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks over four innings while striking out three.

The veteran southpaw would not return for the fifth inning after needing 83 pitches to get through four, marking his shortest outing of the season. Anderson has now given up four or more runs in three of his last four starts in addition to issuing multiple free passes in four straight. He finished the month of August with a 5.97 ERA while going 2-3 and posting a 26:16 K:BB.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Stuck with loss Sunday
Rotowire
Anderson (10-12) allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss versus the Blue Jays on Sunday.
Anderson wasn't poor in this start, but he was inefficient in needing 97 pitches (64 strikes) to cover five frames. Toronto took the lead for good when Anderson allowed an RBI double to Vladimir Guerrero in the fifth inning. This was Anderson's fourth loss in his last six outings, a span that's seen him surrender 21 runs (20 earned) over 34.2 innings. He's now at a 3.41 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 122:62 K:BB through 158.1 innings over 26 starts this season. The southpaw's next start is projected to be at home versus the Mariners.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Collects 10th win
Rotowire
Anderson (10-11) allowed five runs on 12 hits and two walks while striking out two over six-plus innings to earn the win over the Royals on Tuesday.
Anderson's outing was much better than the final line indicates, but he was on the hook for all three of the Royals' runs in the seventh inning. He's now allowed 12 runs over his last 11.2 innings, by far the worst two-start stretch of his season. Still, the southpaw has been a bright spot in the Angels' rotation with a 3.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 119:58 K:BB through 153.1 innings over 25 starts this year. Anderson is projected to make his next start at Toronto.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Tames Yankees for ninth victory
Rotowire
Anderson (9-10) earned the win over the Yankees on Thursday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over six innings.
Anderson surrendered a solo homer to Jazz Chisholm in the second inning but otherwise had little trouble with New York's lineup. The left-handed hurler notched his third quality start over his past eight contests and brought his ERA back down to a sub-3.00 mark at 2.99. One of Anderson's flaws in fantasy over the course of his career has been his low strikeout numbers, but he's seen an uptick in that category of late, as Thursday marked the fourth time over his past six outings that he's recorded at least seven punchouts. In fact, he has racked up a healthy 42 strikeouts across his past 37.2 frames.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Tagged with 10th loss
Rotowire
Anderson (8-10) allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss versus the Mets on Friday.
Anderson is now up to 10 losses in the season, making him the 12th starter this season with double-digit losses. The 2024 All-Star still carries a 3.05 ERA, which is the best of any of those starters with 10 or more losses. Anderson's recent home/away splits have been puzzling though, as he's now given up 19 runs across his last five home starts while allowing only four runs in his five most recent road starts.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Fans 10 in losing effort
Rotowire
Anderson (8-9) took the loss against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out 10.
All three runs charged to Anderson came across in the first inning, when he allowed two of the first three batters to reach before surrendering a three-run homer to Shea Langeliers. The lefty would then allow just three singles and a walk over six scoreless frames to close out his night, but he still ended up taking his ninth loss, as the Angels' offense produced just one run in the contest. Anderson induced 17 whiffs in the loss, racking up 10 strikeouts for the second time in his last four starts. He's also gone at least six innings in three of his last four outings and currently holds a 2.70 ERA in July to go along with a robust 32:2 K:BB.

Anderson did not factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 win over Seattle, allowing four runs on six hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out four.
The Los Angeles lefty struggled out the gate, surrendering a two-run homer to Julio Rodriguez in the first inning. Anderson later allowed his third and fourth runs on another two-run long ball in the third via a 423-foot blast by Cal Raleigh. Despite the rough outing, the 34-year-old veteran wraps a resurgent first half in which he pitched to a 2.97 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 118 innings.

Rotowire

He now owns a 2.81 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 77:47 K:BB over 112 innings this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Mariners next week.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Wild in win
Rotowire
Anderson (6-6) allowed one run on five hits and five walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Giants on Friday.
Anderson once again put on a master class in run prevention -- he's allowed multiple walks in five of his last six starts, but he hasn't given up more than one run in any of those outings. He's now at a 3.9 BB/9 this season, which means he's flirting with danger more often than not despite his excellent 2.58 ERA and passable 1.19 WHIP. He's also managed a 6.0 K/9 across 87.1 innings, which is the lowest strikeout rate of his career. Anderson is lined up to make his next start at home versus the Brewers, a tough test despite his recent success.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Yields four runs in loss
Rotowire
Anderson (5-6) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three over six innings to take the loss versus the Astros on Saturday.
Anderson gave up two runs in each of the third and fifth innings. He threw 60 of 90 pitches for strikes, but this was the first time in five starts he allowed more than one run. It was just the second time he's been on the hook for four runs this year. The southpaw is at a 2.63 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 53:33 K:BB over 82 innings through 13 starts in 2024. Anderson's surface stats look close to his career year from 2022, but his 4.70 FIP and .218 BABIP suggest he's been very fortunate in 2024. Given his high walk rate, Anderson is a risky pitcher to roster in fantasy over the rest of the season.

Rotowire
Anderson (5-5) got stuck with the loss against the Yankees on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and six walks over five innings. He struck out four.
Anderson allowed three batters to reach base in each of the first two frames but somehow managed to pitch his way around it and avoid sustaining any damage. However, the lefty would finally cough up a run in the fourth after leaving a sinker up in the zone, which Alex Verdugo proceeded to crush over the wall in right field. Anderson issued a season-high six free passes on the night and has now walked multiple batters in three consecutive starts. Even with those walks, it was also the third straight outing in which he allowed only one run.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Evens record Friday
Rotowire
Anderson (4-4) yielded a run on two hits and two walks over seven innings Friday, striking out four and earning a win over the Rangers.
The only blemish on Anderson's line was a solo shot by Jonah Heim in the second inning. The southpaw has won back-to-back starts after going 0-4 over his previous five outings. Despite what that losing streak may suggest, he registered a 4.08 ERA during that span, and Friday's start lowered his season ERA to 2.72 through 56.1 frames. Anderson's next start is currently projected to come in Houston next week.

Anderson surrendered one run in the top of the first on a Salvador Perez double before going 1-2-3 through each of the next three frames. The lefty would allow another run in both the sixth and seventh innings, but he was still able to secure his third win of the season thanks to being provided with ample run support. Anderson has now gone at least six innings in three consecutive starts and is yet to allow more than three earned runs in an outing. Saturday also marked his first win since April 8 against the Marlins, as he had lost each of his previous four decisions coming in.

Anderson secured his fourth quality start of the campaign Tuesday and logged at least six K's for a second consecutive outing.
