Brewers' Brett Anderson: Missing from NLDS roster
Brett Anderson wasn't included on Milwaukee's roster for the NLDS, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.It's not exactly a major surprise, as Milwaukee rolled with a six-man rotation for most of the season, and Anderson was the weakest link of that unit. Still, it was a solid season for the veteran left-hander, who had a 4.22 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 58:28 K:BB over 96 innings (24 starts). Anderson is unlikely to join the roster for any further playoff rounds unless the Milwaukee Brewers suffer some pitching injuries.

Brewers' Brett Anderson: Starting on two days' rest
Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Brett Anderson will start Sunday against the Dodgers in what amounts to a bullpen day for Milwaukee, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.Anderson will be returning to the mound on just two days' rest after he threw 61 pitches and covered five innings Thursday in St. Louis. The southpaw will likely be in store for an even lighter workload in the regular-season finale, rendering him an unappealing streaming option for fantasy managers hoping that he might be able to scoop up a win.

Brewers' Brett Anderson: Takes no-decision
Brett Anderson allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two across five innings during Thursday's loss to the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.Making his second start since his return from the injured list with a left shoulder contusion, Anderson did his duty to keep the Milwaukee Brewers in the game, but his offense failed to provide enough run support. It was a decent bounce-back performance for the 33-year-old, who finishes the regular season 4-9 with a 4.26 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 23 outings. His postseason status remains unclear at this point.

Brewers' Brett Anderson: Struggles in return
Brett Anderson (4-9) allowed two earned runs on six hits and one walk through 1.2 innings, taking the loss in Wednesday's 10-2 defeat to the Cardinals. He did not record a strikeout.In his first start since suffering a left shoulder contusion on Sept. 1 against the Giants, it was Anderson's ego that was bruised Wednesday night. Although the left-hander only had two earned runs charged to his name, six Cardinals crossed home under his watch. The big blow came from Tyler O'Neill, who smacked a two-run shot off Anderson in the first. While the 33-year-old has been a serviceable pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers this season, the lack of strikeouts in his game (four or fewer in 21 of 22 starts) render him a tough play in most fantasy formats.

Brewers' Brett Anderson: Expected back Wednesday
Brett Anderson (shoulder) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list Wednesday to start the third game of the Milwaukee Brewers' home series with the Cardinals, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.Milwaukee has yet to confirm that Anderson will take the hill that day to make his first start since Sept. 1, but the southpaw looks to be tracking toward a return after completing a bullpen session earlier in the weekend. Because he hasn't completed a simulated game or minor-league rehab outing, Anderson could be in store for a lighter workload than usual if he rejoins the rotation Wednesday. Before landing on the shelf with a bruised left shoulder, Anderson compiled a 4-8 record, 4.18 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 21 starts.

Brewers' Brett Anderson: Placed on 10-day IL
Brett Anderson was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder contusion Thursday.Anderson left Wednesday's game against the Giants early after he was struck by a line drive on the left shoulder, and the injury will force him to miss at least one turn through the rotation. The southpaw also dealt with hip and calf issues in August, but it's not yet clear how much time he'll be forced to miss due to his shoulder contusion. Alec Bettinger was recalled by the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, but the team hasn't announced who will take Anderson's place in the rotation.
