Anderson (2-1) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out five in five innings.
Anderson got tagged in the opening frame for a double and a triple (one of the hits dropped after it was lost in the sun) but escaped allowing only one run after punching out a pair. Anderson kept the Orioles at bay over the next three frames, but an error to begin the fifth awarded them two unearned runs before his day was done. It was his first time in his last five starts not reaching six innings but also his first time since April 18 not allowing a home run. Anderson's allowed three runs or fewer in every outing thus far but will have his hands full against the Dodgers on the road over the weekend.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Steady in no-decision
Rotowire
Anderson allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out seven over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Tuesday.
This was a fourth straight quality start for Anderson, and it was also his longest outing of the season. The seven strikeouts were a season high for the southpaw, who has stepped up his game early in 2025 to be a reliable starter for the Angels. He's at a 2.68 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 34:15 K:BB over 40.1 innings across seven starts this season. His velocity has been down this year, with an average fastball at 88.8 mph compared to 89.4 mph in 2024, but he's never overwhelmed batters with sheer velocity in the past. He's lined up for a home start versus the Orioles over the weekend.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Posts another quality start
Rotowire
Anderson did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Mariners, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out five.
While Anderson had to settle for a no-decision, it's the third consecutive quality start for the left-hander, who's yet to allow more than three runs in an outing this season. Anderson's ERA sits at 2.67 on the year with a 1.04 WHIP and 27:14 K:BB across six starts (33.2 innings). He's currently lined up to face the Blue Jays at home in his next start.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Settles in for quality start
Rotowire
Anderson didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Pittsburgh after allowing three runs on six hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out one.
Anderson struggled to keep the ball in the yard, giving up two home runs over the first two innings, but he was still able to settle in and register a quality start in his second straight outing. Despite tallying a season low in strikeouts, the crafty lefty managed to induce 14 whiffs, so he did keep Pittsburgh off balance Thursday. Anderson will take a strong 2.60 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB over 27.2 innings (five starts) into his next projected start, which lines up for next week against Seattle at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park.

Rotowire
Anderson (2-0) picked up the win Friday, scattering three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings in a 2-0 victory over the Giants. He struck out six.
Logan Webb was the more dominant pitcher on the night, fanning 12 Angels in his six frames, but Anderson kept the opposition off balance over his 96 pitches (64 strikes) and didn't allow a runner to get past second base. The veteran lefty will take a stingy 2.08 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 21:12 K:BB through 21.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Pirates.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Concedes three runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Anderson took a no-decision Monday against the Cardinals. He struck out four over five innings while allowing three runs on six hits and two walks.
The Angels southpaw tossed 91 pitches, including 61 strikes, while inducing 10 whiffs during his season debut in St. Louis. However, Anderson struggled to contain the long ball as Lars Nootbaar and Brendan Donovan -- both left-handed batters -- hit solo shots in the first and second innings, respectively. After pitching to a 7.41 ERA and 1.65 WHIP across 17 innings in the spring, Anderson still has some tuning up to do before he makes his next start against the Guardians at home this weekend.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Spring struggles continue
Rotowire
Anderson allowed six runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 3.1 innings in a Cactus League game against the Athletics on Friday.
Anderson served up a solo homer to Shane Langeliers in the first inning, then retired only one of the five batters he faced in the second. The lefty was temporarily pulled, but under spring training rules he was allowed to re-enter the contest. Though Anderson was able to get through two more innings without allowing a run, he loaded the bases without retiring a batter in the fifth frame, and all three runners came around to score after his departure. Anderson hasn't been sharp this spring, as he's posted a 10.64 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB over 11 innings. Nonetheless, his veteran status limits the level of concern about his performance in exhibition play, and Anderson is locked into a spot near the top of the Angels' regular-season rotation.

Anderson (10-15) took the loss Thursday against the White Sox, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and three walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out two.
Anderson blanked Chicago through four innings, but his start went downhill in the fifth frame.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Shaky in loss
Rotowire
Anderson (10-13) took the loss against the Astros on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.
Anderson got knocked around in the opening frame, giving up a bunt single to Jose Altuve to lead things off before eventually seeing him come home after throwing a wild pitch. The lefty would also allow two walks and a double in the inning, but managed to escape without sustaining any further damage. His luck would run out in the fifth, however, after he again surrendered a leadoff single to Jose Altuve, followed by a two-run blast to Yordan Alvarez. Anderson has now lost three of his last four decisions (spanning six starts), allowing four or more runs four times over that stretch. He's also issued multiple walks six consecutive outings and hasn't gotten through six innings in four straight.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Anderson allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and two walks while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against Texas on Saturday.

Anderson also racked up an impressive 17 whiffs en route to seven punchouts. The left-hander has recorded a 3.50 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 132:67 K:BB through 167.1 innings on the season.

Rotowire

Anderson has now given up four or more runs in three of his last four starts in addition to issuing multiple free passes in four straight. He finished the month of August with a 5.97 ERA while going 2-3 and posting a 26:16 K:BB.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Stuck with loss Sunday
Rotowire
Anderson (10-12) allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss versus the Blue Jays on Sunday.
Anderson wasn't poor in this start, but he was inefficient in needing 97 pitches (64 strikes) to cover five frames. Toronto took the lead for good when Anderson allowed an RBI double to Vladimir Guerrero in the fifth inning. This was Anderson's fourth loss in his last six outings, a span that's seen him surrender 21 runs (20 earned) over 34.2 innings. He's now at a 3.41 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 122:62 K:BB through 158.1 innings over 26 starts this season. The southpaw's next start is projected to be at home versus the Mariners.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Collects 10th win
Rotowire
Anderson (10-11) allowed five runs on 12 hits and two walks while striking out two over six-plus innings to earn the win over the Royals on Tuesday.
Anderson's outing was much better than the final line indicates, but he was on the hook for all three of the Royals' runs in the seventh inning. He's now allowed 12 runs over his last 11.2 innings, by far the worst two-start stretch of his season. Still, the southpaw has been a bright spot in the Angels' rotation with a 3.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 119:58 K:BB through 153.1 innings over 25 starts this year. Anderson is projected to make his next start at Toronto.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Tames Yankees for ninth victory
Rotowire
Anderson (9-10) earned the win over the Yankees on Thursday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over six innings.
Anderson surrendered a solo homer to Jazz Chisholm in the second inning but otherwise had little trouble with New York's lineup. The left-handed hurler notched his third quality start over his past eight contests and brought his ERA back down to a sub-3.00 mark at 2.99. One of Anderson's flaws in fantasy over the course of his career has been his low strikeout numbers, but he's seen an uptick in that category of late, as Thursday marked the fourth time over his past six outings that he's recorded at least seven punchouts. In fact, he has racked up a healthy 42 strikeouts across his past 37.2 frames.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Tagged with 10th loss
Rotowire
Anderson (8-10) allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss versus the Mets on Friday.
Anderson is now up to 10 losses in the season, making him the 12th starter this season with double-digit losses. The 2024 All-Star still carries a 3.05 ERA, which is the best of any of those starters with 10 or more losses. Anderson's recent home/away splits have been puzzling though, as he's now given up 19 runs across his last five home starts while allowing only four runs in his five most recent road starts.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Fans 10 in losing effort
Rotowire
Anderson (8-9) took the loss against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out 10.
All three runs charged to Anderson came across in the first inning, when he allowed two of the first three batters to reach before surrendering a three-run homer to Shea Langeliers. The lefty would then allow just three singles and a walk over six scoreless frames to close out his night, but he still ended up taking his ninth loss, as the Angels' offense produced just one run in the contest. Anderson induced 17 whiffs in the loss, racking up 10 strikeouts for the second time in his last four starts. He's also gone at least six innings in three of his last four outings and currently holds a 2.70 ERA in July to go along with a robust 32:2 K:BB.

Angels' Tyler Anderson: Yields four runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Anderson did not factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 win over Seattle, allowing four runs on six hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out four.
The Los Angeles lefty struggled out the gate, surrendering a two-run homer to Julio Rodriguez in the first inning. Anderson later allowed his third and fourth runs on another two-run long ball in the third via a 423-foot blast by Cal Raleigh. Despite the rough outing, the 34-year-old veteran wraps a resurgent first half in which he pitched to a 2.97 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 118 innings.
