Tyler Anderson's 2023 Season is Over
USA TODAY Sports

The first season in Anaheim for Tyler Anderson is over. On Saturday, the Angels announced that the pitcher who was scheduled to start the series finale in Minnesota on Sunday will instead go on the injured list, effectively ending his 2023 season.

Anderson has been bothered by left knee soreness in recent days, forcing the Halos to already push a start back once this weekend. The hope entering play on Saturday was that the left-hander would be able to take down the start tomorrow morning against the Twins but after a bit of a setback, that plan is no more.

“Felt pretty good yesterday and then just didn’t really respond,” Anderson said. “Didn’t bounce back very well today. If I felt better today than yesterday, I was definitely going to start tomorrow. That was my plan but just kind of regressed.”

Signed to a three year deal last winter, Anderson ends a disappointing first season with the Angels having gone 6-6 with a 5.43 ERA in 27 games (25 starts). Coming off a career year with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2022, the Halos hoped the veteran could build off his NL All-Star season. He's owed $26 million over the next two seasons.
