Anderson signed with Texas as a non-roster invitee Tuesday.

Anderson appeared in just one game for the White Sox in 2020, bringing him to a total of nine relief appearances and one start over the course of his four-year career. He's shown very little at the highest level in his 22.1 innings, struggling to a 9.67 ERA and 1.97 WHIP, and his 4.73 career ERA in 159.2 Triple-A innings hardly suggests he's on the verge of a breakout.

Anderson was sent to the team's alternate training site Aug. 11 but will now will become a free agent. He appeared in just one game for Chicago, allowing six runs on four hits and two walks against Cleveland on Aug. 8.

Anderson cleared waivers and was outrighted to the White Sox's alternate training site Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The 26-year-old was designated for assignment by the team over the weekend, but he'll remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. Anderson was on the 40-man roster for one day and allowed six runs over 1.1 innings during his debut with the team.

The White Sox designated Anderson for assignment Sunday.

He'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster and cede his spot on the active roster to Jose Ruiz, who was recalled from the White Sox's alternate training site. Anderson was roughed up out of the bullpen in his team debut Saturday against the Indians, giving up six runs on four hits and two walks over 1.1 innings.

Anderson's contract was purchased by the White Sox on Saturday.

Anderson was in camp with the White Sox as a non-roster invitee, but he'll join the 40-man roster after Brady Lail was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. The right-hander made two major-league appearances with the Phillies last season, allowing five runs while posting a 6:6 K:BB over six innings. He should play a low-leverage role in Chicago's bullpen.

The White Sox announced Monday that Anderson will be included as part of the team's 60-man roster pool.

Anderson, who attended spring training as a non-roster invitee, was one of 44 players named to the club's summer camp, which begins Friday. The right-hander is expected to serve as a long reliever for the White Sox after posting a 5.77 ERA and 40:27 K:BB across 48.1 innings over 11 starts with the Phillies' Triple-A affiliate in Lehigh Valley in 2019.

Anderson signed with Chicago as a non-roster invitee Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson spent parts of three seasons in the majors with the Phillies, recording a career 7.71 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 19 strikeouts across 21 innings. Despite the change of scenery, the right-hander will likely begin his 2020 campaign in the minors before he's ready to return to a major-league bullpen.

Anderson was released by Philadelphia on Monday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.

Anderson was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Sunday, and he was later released by the club. He appeared in two games this season in the majors, surrendering five runs while striking out six and walking six over six innings of work.

The Phillies designated Anderson for assignment Sunday.

Anderson's removal from the 40-man roster frees up a spot for one of the three players whose contracts the Phillies selected from the minors as part of their September callups. The right-hander wasn't in the mix for a promotion himself after submitting a 5.77 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 48.1 innings with Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season.

Anderson was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Anderson was recalled from Lehigh Valley prior to Thursday's game and will return there after not appearing in the series finale. The 25-year-old has appeared in two games and has allowed five runs over six innings across his three major-league stints this season.

Anderson will assume Cole Irvin's spot on the active roster after the lefty was optioned to the minors following a disastrous start Wednesday. Though Irvin's departure creates a temporary opening in the rotation, Anderson will merely serve as a long-relief option while the Phillies ponder a replacement for Irvin the next time a fifth starter is required.

Anderson was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Anderson is likely unavailable for a few days after tossing four innings out of the bullpen in Tuesday's loss, so the Phillies opted to swap him out for a fresh bullpen arm (Enyel De Los Santos). In two appearances for the big club, Anderson compiled a 7.50 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 6:6 K:BB through six innings.

Anderson was called up by the Phillies on Saturday.

Anderson is involved in his third transaction of the week after spending a day on the big-league roster Monday. He'll likely fill a low-leverage role in the Phillies' bullpen.

Anderson was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Anderson's stay on the big-league roster lasts just a single day. He didn't do anything wrong in his lone appearance, striking out two and walking two in two scoreless innings, but the Phillies need fresh arms in the bullpen after back-to-back extra-innings contests. Jerad Eickhoff was recalled in a corresponding move.

Anderson was promoted from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Anderson will take the place of David Robertson (elbow), who was sent to the injured list in a corresponding move. The right-hander has primarily worked as a starter throughout his career and should offer length out of the Phillies' bullpen during his time with the big club.

Anderson was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Anderson has a poor 7.80 ERA in 15 career major-league innings, though he looked quite good in camp, allowing just a single run in 12.2 innings while recording a 12:2 K:BB. If he carries that strong performance into the minor-league season, he could push for starts later in the year.

Anderson is adding a cutter to his repertoire this spring, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

If Anderson's spring stats are anything to go by, early returns have certainly been encouraging, as the 24-year-old has allowed just one run on six hits in 12.2 innings. He already threw three secondaries (a slider, a curveball and a changeup) at least 10 percent of the time in 15 big-league innings, but he may need another pitch to get over the hump. Anderson is on the 40-man roster and could get chances to start should injuries strike the Phillies' rotation this season.

Anderson was called up by the Phillies on Tuesday.

The Phillies are carrying 15 relievers on their expanded September roster, so opportunities for Anderson are likely to be limited. He hasn't shown any reason to believe he'll be much of a fantasy asset if he does get an unexpected opportunity, as he's allowed 10 earned runs in 8.1 career innings.

Anderson was sent back down to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following Wednesday's game.

Anderson made his second appearance at the big-league level this season during Tuesday's 16-inning game against the Dodgers, in which he recorded a spotless inning of relief. He will return to the Triple-A level, where he's logged a 4.02 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 65 innings in 2018. The Phillies will make a subsequent move prior to Thursday's series opener in Cincinnati -- a roster spot is needed for Ranger Suarez, who will be called up for his major-league debut.

Anderson was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Anderson has appeared once for the Phillies this season as a starter, but appears to be up as a reliever this time around. Ranger Suarez is expected to start Thursday when the Phillies need a spot starter against the Reds. Anderson will take the long-relief role vacated by Yacksel Rios, who was optioned to Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.
