The Rangers selected Anderson's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday. Anderson signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Aug. 5, and although he has since allowed nine earned runs in just 11.2 innings, he'll join the big-league squad to provide Texas with a multi-inning relief option. Dane Dunning was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Anderson signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Anderson was let go by the Red Sox on Thursday and opted for free agency rather than accept an assignment to the minors. The 36-year-old right-hander has worked primarily as a reliever in 2024, accruing a 4.85 ERA and collecting three saves over 52 frames. He figures to report to Triple-A Round Rock and serve as organizational depth with his new club.

The Red Sox released Anderson on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Anderson was not claimed off waivers after being scrubbed from the Red Sox' 40-man roster, and he has opted to test out free agency rather than accept an outright assignment. The veteran swingman holds a 4.85 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 35:19 K:BB over 52 innings in 2024.

The Red Sox designated Anderson for assignment Sunday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports. The veteran right-hander was tagged for nine runs (three earned) in his last two appearances and has now lost his place on the MLB roster. Anderson tallied three saves for Boston this season, but all were of the three-inning variety as he pitched almost exclusively in lower-leverage spots. He totaled a 4.85 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 35:19 K:BB over 52 innings.

Anderson earned a save against Oakland on Thursday, allowing two hits and striking out five batters over three scoreless innings. After Tanner Houck tossed six scoreless frames, Anderson completed the shutout with three scoreless innings of his own. He struck out five in the impressive outing and threw 28 of 39 pitches for strikes. The save was the third of the season for the righty reliever, all of which have been three frames in length. From a fantasy perspective, there's no reason for managers chasing saves to take a look at Anderson given his middle-relief role and consequent unpredictability of save opportunities.
