• Tyler Anderson: No deal with Halos after all

  Rotowire Feb 4, 2026

  Anderson remains a free agent after he didn't sign a minor-league contract as initially reported Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Anderson was not included on the Angels' list of non-roster players invited to spring training, and Bollinger relays that the veteran southpaw's reported signing was the result of an error on MLB's transactions page. Anderson, 36, went 2-8 across 26 starts for the Angels in 2025 and posted a 4.56 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 104:57 K:BB over 136.1 innings.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Back with Halos on MiLB deal

  Rotowire Feb 4, 2026

  Anderson (oblique) signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Wednesday. After signing a $39 million deal with the Angels in November 2022, Anderson largely disappointed during his three seasons in Anaheim, posting a collective 18-29 record, 4.53 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 8.6 K-BB% over 456.2 innings. Though he'll end up rejoining the Angels, the 36-year-old lefty isn't included among the team's initial list of non-roster invitees for big-league spring training and is seemingly ticketed for the Triple-A Salt Lake rotation. Anderson -- who closed last season on the injured list due to an oblique strain -- is presumably healthy now, but it looks like he'll need to prove he still has something left in the tank at the Triple-A level before the Angels consider adding him back to the 40-man roster.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Throwing again, but iffy to return

  Rotowire Sep 17, 2025

  Anderson reported to the Angels' spring training facility in Arizona last Thursday to begin a throwing program, but he's yet to make much progress in his recovery from a left oblique strain, MLB.com reports. The Angels aren't closing the door on Anderson returning from the 15-day injured list for the final week of the season, but the lefty will need to ramp up quickly to have any chance at contributing over the last few games, even as a reliever. Before being deactivated Aug. 31, Anderson went 2-8 with a 4.56 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 104:57 K:BB in 136.1 innings over 26 starts with the Halos.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Shelved with oblique strain

  Rotowire Aug 31, 2025

  The Angels placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain. The veteran left-hander delivered five scoreless frames Friday in Houston, but that could end up being his final start of the campaign. Anderson will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 14, but oblique injuries often require longer than 15 days of recovery time. If the 35-year-old is unable to return to the mound in 2025, he'll finish the campaign with a 4.56 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 104:57 K:BB across 136.1 innings.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Hurls five scoreless frames Friday

  Rotowire Aug 30, 2025

  Anderson allowed five hits and issued three walks while striking out one batter over five innings in a no-decision against Houston on Friday. Anderson made his first start in seven days, as he got some extra time off during the week while on paternity leave. The additional rest appears to have served him well -- the veteran lefty kept the Astros off the scoreboard during his five frames after pitching to a poor 6.13 ERA across his previous eight outings. Anderson should be good to make his next start on his regular schedule, so he's slated to face the Royals on the road next week.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Activated ahead of start

  Rotowire Aug 28, 2025

  The Angels reinstated Anderson from the paternity list prior to his start Thursday against the Astros. Anderson has given up four earned runs in three of his four starts since the beginning of August and remains in search of his first win since April 18. Although he's due to face an Astros offense that has posted a .655 OPS over their last 10 games, the 35-year-old southpaw should only be viewed as a last resort for fantasy managers in search of streaming options. Jack Kochanowicz was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Limits Cubs in no-desicion

  Rotowire Aug 23, 2025

  Anderson didn't factor into the decision against the Cubs on Friday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings. The left-hander did well to limit the damage, with his only runs coming on a first-inning solo homer from Kyle Tucker and a sacrifice fly in the third. While Anderson didn't pitch deep into the contest, he kept Los Angeles within striking distance and turned in one of his steadier outings of late. The 35-year-old had struggled over his previous six starts, posting a 6.67 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 19:15 K:BB across 29.2 innings during that stretch, so Friday's effort represented a modest step in the right direction.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Shaky command in return

  Rotowire Aug 17, 2025

  Anderson (2-8) allowed four runs on three hits and five walks while striking out one over four innings to take the loss versus the Athletics on Saturday. Anderson essentially got skipped in the rotation when back stiffness forced him to miss his scheduled start Tuesday. He wasn't that sharp in his return to action -- he's now walked five batters in two of five starts since the All-Star break. In that span, he's surrendered 18 runs over 24.2 innings while adding just 16 strikeouts. Anderson is at a 4.77 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 98:52 K:BB through 126.1 innings over 24 starts. The southpaw is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Cubs.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Cleared to start Saturday

  Rotowire Aug 14, 2025

  Anderson (back) is slated to start Saturday's game against the Athletics in Sacramento. Anderson was initially lined up to make his 24th start of the season during Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Dodgers, but he was scratched ahead of the contest due to back stiffness, which has been a recurring issue for the southpaw throughout the season, according to MLB.com. A few extra days of rest was apparently all Anderson needed to at least temporarily move past the back issue, and he's not expected to face any major restrictions when he takes the hill Saturday.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: No-decision vs. Tampa

  Rotowire Aug 6, 2025

  Anderson did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Rays, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out five. Anderson was done in by the home-run ball again Wednesday -- all four of Tampa's runs off the left-hander came via the long ball, including two off the bat of Junior Caminero. Anderson's given up eight homers across 14.2 innings in his last three starts. He remains without a win since April 18 and sports a 4.63 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP and 97:47 K:BB through 23 starts (122.1 innings) this season. He's currently lined up for a tough home matchup with the Dodgers in his next outing.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Allows four runs in defeat

  Rotowire Aug 2, 2025

  Alexander (2-7) took the loss after throwing six innings, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five, during Friday's 6-3 loss to the White Sox. Alexander had a solid outing, allowing just five hits and four runs, but the left-hander once again had an issue keeping the ball in the ballpark. Three of the five hits the 35-year-old allowed were home runs, and he's now allowed at least one home run in five straight starts and 23 total home runs on the season, the second-most in all of MLB behind Zack Littell's 25 homers. Alexander is scheduled to face the Rays at home his next time out.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Yields two homers Saturday

  Rotowire Jul 27, 2025

  Anderson allowed two runs on six hits and struck out one without walking a batter over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday. Anderson exited the game at 88 pitches (62 strikes), as it appears the Angels didn't want him to face the heart of the Mariners' order a third time. This wasn't a poor performance for the southpaw, but he allowed solo home runs to Julio Rodriguez and Randy Arozarena, making this Anderson's sixth start allowing multiple homers this year. It's also the third time he's avoided walking a batter, but he fell short of the five-inning mark for the fourth time in 10 outings since the start of June. Anderson has a mediocre 4.41 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 87:44 K:BB across 112.1 innings through 21 starts overall. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the White Sox, though Anderson is in the last year of his contract and may be moved prior to Thursday's trade deadline.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Concedes four runs in no-decision

  Rotowire Jul 21, 2025

  Anderson did not factor into the decision in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Mets. He allowed four runs on four hits and five walks over six innings with four strikeouts. The Los Angeles southpaw was solid through his first six innings, allowing just two runs on a Brett Baty homer in the fourth. Anderson then unraveled in the seventh, allowing the first two batters to reach before being removed after 87 total pitches -- reliever Reid Detmers subsequently allowed both inherited runners to score. This marks the fifth time in his last seven outings that Anderson has yielded three or more runs, as he now sports a 4.43 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 86:44 K:BB across 107.2 total frames. The 35-year-old will make his next start in the Angels' upcoming home series against Seattle this weekend.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Settles for no-decision

  Rotowire Jul 12, 2025

  Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks, giving up four runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three. The Angels gave Anderson a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, but the veteran southpaw immediately handed it right back in the top of the second. He left the mound after 84 pitches (54 strikes), and Anderson will head into the All-Star break with his rotation spot potentially hanging by a thread -- he hasn't picked up a win since April 18, and over eight starts since the beginning of June, he's stumbled to a 5.75 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB over 40.2 innings.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Inefficient in no-decision

  Rotowire Jun 25, 2025

  Anderson allowed a run on two hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Tuesday. Anderson fell short of completing five innings for the third time in five starts in June. While this was arguably his best start of the month, he was pulled at 82 pitches (51 strikes), which shows there was a bit of inefficiency involved. The southpaw is now at a 4.41 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 70:33 K:BB through 85.2 innings over 16 starts. Anderson is projected to make his next start at Atlanta.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Struggles in defeat

  Rotowire Jun 15, 2025

  Anderson (2-4) took the loss after working five innings, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four during Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles. June has not been kind to Anderson so far, as he failed to pitch into the sixth inning for the third straight start, allowing a season-high six runs in the process. Over those three starts, the 35-year-old has gone a collective 14 innings, allowing 14 runs on 24 hits and five walks. It doesn't get much easier for Anderson moving forward, with his next start scheduled against the Yankees.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Can't complete five innings

  Rotowire Jun 8, 2025

  Anderson (2-3) took the loss Sunday against Seattle, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out six. Anderson yielded three doubles on the day and failed to make it through the fifth inning, getting pulled after throwing 94 pitches. He allowed seven or more hits for the fourth time in his last five starts while owning a 6.57 ERA, a 1.79 WHIP and an 18:10 K:BB over 24.2 innings during that stretch. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to occur next weekend at Baltimore.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Struggles to no-decision

  Rotowire Jun 3, 2025

  Anderson took a no-decision after surrendering five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five in 4.1 innings of work during Monday's 7-6 win over the Red Sox. It has to feel like Anderson missed an opportunity. His team put up six runs before he even took the mound for the first time, but he didn't quite make it through the five requisite innings to qualify for the win and let the Red Sox back in the game in the process. The 35-year-old did keep the ball in the ballpark during Monday's start, just the fourth time in 12 starts that he was able to do so. Anderson's next scheduled start will come against division-rival Seattle at home.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Goes six strong

  Rotowire May 28, 2025

  Anderson (2-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk over six innings against the Yankees. He struck out three. The only earned run the crafty lefty allowed Tuesday came on a Ben Rice homer in the fourth inning. Otherwise, Anderson was sharp, holding the Yankees' sluggers in check, though he didn't get the run support needed to secure his third win of the season. The 35-year-old had struggled in his previous two starts, giving up nine runs over 9.2 innings, but he's still putting together a solid season with a 3.39 ERA and 1.21 WHIP.

• Angels' Tyler Anderson: Struggles vs. A's

  Rotowire May 22, 2025

  Anderson allowed five runs on seven hits and six walks across 4.2 innings in a no-decision Thursday against the A's. He didn't record a strikeout. It was a rough day for Anderson, who issued a season-high six walks, including a pair with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. After pitching to a 2.58 ERA in his first eight outings, Anderson's now allowed nine runs on 14 hits across 9.2 innings in his last two starts. The veteran left-hander's ERA now sits at 3.60 through 10 starts (55 innings) this season with a 1.24 WHIP and 43:23 K:BB. It won't get easier for Anderson in his next outing -- he's currently lined up for a tough home matchup with the Yankees.
