Tyler Anderson Pitches Eight Strong Innings
Tyler Anderson almost tossed a shutout for the first time in his career on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals. However, reliever Phil Bickford came out instead in the ninth inning. Anderson's excellent command is one of the main factors for his success. He has only allowed five walks in 43 2/3 innings. He has notched five wins in eight games (six starts) with the support of the best offensive team in the league. He should be added in most formats if he hasn't been already.

Tyler Anderson Snags Ninth Victory
Tyler Anderson was impressive in Thursday's victory versus the New York Yankees. The left-hander tossed six frames and allowed three hits, one run, one walk and struck out seven to improve to 9-10 on the season. The only blemish from the veteran on the evening was a solo home run to the red-hot Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the bottom of the second inning. The veteran continues to slide under the radar with a 2.99 ERA on the season to go along with a respectable 1.15 WHIP and 12 quality starts. Anderson still isn't a must-start in all matchups, but he can be depended on more times than not, Next up for Anderson will be a date at home against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Tyler Anderson Strikes Out 10 In Quality Start
Tyler Anderson allowed a three-run home run to Shea Langeliers in the first inning of Saturday's contest with the Oakland Athletics, but those would end up being the only runs the A's would need to secure a 3-1 victory over the Halos. The southpaw settled in after the first inning, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out 10 batters, posting his 11th quality start on the season. The 34-year-old is having a great season so far, posting a 2.96 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 21 starts, collecting eight wins along the way. His FIP is 4.34 and SIERA is 4.77, but those have been higher than his ERA all season and he's been able to stave off regression to this point. His next start will come at home on Friday against the Mets.

Angels Likely To Hang Onto Taylor Ward, Tyler Anderson, Griffin Canning
Carlos Estevez and Luis Garcia, but unless they receive overwhelming offers this summer, they will likely hang onto outfielder Taylor Ward and starting pitchers Tyler Anderson and Griffin Canning. Anderson's stock is on the rise after allowing only three hits in eight shutout innings in his last start on Saturday at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs. All three players remain under team control through at least the 2025 season. Ward banged up his knee crashing into the outfield wall in Sunday's loss to the Cubbies and was held out of Monday's lineup against the Texas Rangers, but he expects to return on Tuesday. The 30-year-old is hitting just .238 (76-for-320) on the season but does have 14 home runs, 44 RBI and a .740 OPS and will get more protection when Mike Trout (knee) returns, hopefully at the end of July.

Tyler Anderson Shuts Down Cubs At Wrigley, Racks Up 10 Strikeouts
Tyler Anderson was dominant on Saturday afternoon in the Angles 7-0 win over the Chicago Cubs. Anderson notched 10 strikeouts in eight innings and allowed just three hits as he improved his record to 8-8. His 2.81 ERA ranks sixth in the majors among qualified starters. Anderson's 2024 has been stellar and makes him a solid trade target for any contender looking to add a left-handed arm to their rotation. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry about any potential trade affecting Anderson's fantasy value or production, rather they should keep a closer eye on his wOBA (.302) and xwOBA (.342) as a sign of potential negative regression coming. Anderson will look to stave off that negative regression a little longer in his next scheduled start on Thursday when the Angels host the Seattle Mariners.
