Anderson (oblique) will miss several weeks with a strained right oblique, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

The issue was initially thought to be just soreness, but it turns out that Anderson's oblique actually has a larger problem. This is a tough break for the left-hander, as he finally was getting a chance to pitch again after missing all of last season with an elbow injury. Anderson had been pitching decently during spring training prior to the setback, allowing three runs in four innings while striking out six, but will have to wait longer to show the major league club what he can do. It was unlikely that he would make the 25-man roster out of spring training, but there has been some speculation that he could find his way up to the big club at some point in 2016 considering his past dominance in the minors. That being said, he'll have to prove that he can stay healthy if he wants another shot with Colorado.
