Anderson is expected to start the Rockies' second game of the season Tuesday against the Brewers, Nick Groke and Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post report.
The myriad of injuries plaguing the Rockies this spring certainly helped his cause, but the 2011 first-round draft pick also held his own during five Cactus League starts, ultimately finishing the spring with a 3.68 ERA and an impressive 13:2 K:BB. Anderson will slot into the rotation right behind Opening Day starter Jon Gray as the left-hander looks to build upon his solid rookie campaign in which he posted a 3.54 ERA in 19 starts and a 3.00 ERA at Coors Field.
