The Rangers placed Anderson on the COVID-19-related injured list Monday, Chris Halicke of SI.com reports.
Anderson was one of three players to land on the list Monday and one of four players to be deactivated within the past four days due to COVID-19-related reasons. At this time, the Rangers aren't disclosing which of the four players, if any, have tested positive for the virus, though Chris Halicke relays that Anderson and Mike Foltynewicz are symptomatic, while infielders Brock Holt and Charlie Culberson have experienced mild symptoms. Assuming Anderson's condition doesn't take a turn for the worse, he should be ready to rejoin the Rangers once he clears all protocols, but he won't be available to serve as a piggyback starter behind Spencer Howard during Texas' series in Cleveland this week. Texas called up Wes Benjamin from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move, and if he goes unused out of the bullpen Monday and Tuesday, he could work behind Howard on Wednesday.
