The Rangers announced theyve selected right-hander onto the MLB roster. Texas optioned back to Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. To create a 40-man roster spot, the Rangers transferred from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list in what is e sentially a procedural transaction. Anderson caught on with Texas on a minor league contract last month. It marked his second stint in the organization, as he spent a couple weeks in the system in 2021 when the Rangers claimed him off waivers. They waived him themselves before getting him into a major league game, but Anderson could now get a shot to make his team debut. If he does, itll be the 29-year-olds first major league action since 2022. He made one appearance for the Blue Jays that season. Anderson opened last season in Korea and finished the year in Triple-A with the Phillies. He has made four starts for Dennis Rodman Jersey Round Rock over the past few weeks, turning in a 2.53 ERA over 21 1/3 innings. The Florida product has punched out 26.2% of opponents against a tidy 4.8% walk rate to earn his way back to the big leagues. Anderson has pitched in parts of four MLB seasons overall. Most of his experience came with the Giants as a rookie back in 2019. He has seen more limited action divided between San Francisco, Minnesota, San Diego, Baltimore and Toronto since then. Anderson owns a 5.84 ERA over 135 2/3 career innings. His 17.1% strikeout percentage and 9.9% walk rate are each a little worse than the respective league averages. Anderson has a stronger Triple-A track record, totaling a 3.80 ERA in 270 1/3 frames at that level. He still has an option remaining, so the Rangers can move him between Arlington and Round Rock without exposing him to waivers now that hes on the 40-man roster. Texas e sentially had an open 40-man spot given Scherzers status. The 60-day minimum backdates to Opening Day, so hell be eligible for reinstatement in around two weeks time. It doesnt appear as if hell be ready before then. While Scherzer once seemed on track for a mid-May return following his offseason back surgery, his timetable has been delayed by thumb sorene s. Scherzer received a cortisone shot over the weekend to addre s nerve irritation. The future Hall of Famer told reporters today that he has recently undergone imaging on his triceps, elbow and neck ( via Jeff Wilson of Rangers Today). That came back clean and he is set to resume throwing. Hell need to build back for another minor league rehab a signment, though, so hes unlikely to be ready for MLB action before the start of June.
