Anderson, a .296/.350/.478 hitter between Double- and Triple-A this season, has primarily played second as a minor leaguer, but the Tigers got him some work at third this year and he’s started at the hot corner in both of his AFL games to date. He could be a factor at the position for Detroit sometime next year, assuming that the team doesn’t add a long-term solution in the offseason.

Anderson, 23, was playing in his third game for the Mud Hens after hitting .306/.358/.499 with 14 homers in 90 games at Double-A Erie. It’s unlikely that he’ll make his major league debut this season, but his ability to make ample contact with decent power should turn him into at least a part-time player in the majors in 2026 or ’27.

Meyer gave up a solo homer to Fernando Tatis Jr. to lead off the bottom of the first inning. A walk, hit, and an error brought two more runs in to score for San Diego in the second. Two hits, a walk, and a sacrifice fly plated two more runs for the Padres in the third. Two errors in the fourth would knock Meyer from the game at 74 pitches. He did not record a strikeout. The 26-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 4.53 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 63/19 K/BB ratio across 59 2/3 innings. He’ll take on the Rockies in Miami on Monday.

He allowed an RBI single to Yandy Diaz in the third inning, then the Rays got to him for three more in the fifth on run-scoring knocks from Jose Caballero, Chandler Simpson and Josh Lowe. Meyer generated 10 whiffs on 82 pitches on the evening, posting a terrific CSW of 35 percent. Now 3-4 on the season, he’ll tote a 4.65 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and a 59/16 K/BB ratio (50 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Cubs.

Meyer surrendered a solo homer to Brent Rooker in the first inning. JJ Bleday then added a solo shot in the second. And Luis Urias would go deep for a two-run blast in the fourth.

Unreal. Meyer authored the most dominant performance of his career on Monday evening at loanDepot park, falling two punchouts shy of Ricky Nolasco’s single-game franchise record. He consistently pounded the strike zone, throwing a whopping 69 of 92 pitches for strikes, and reached double-digit strikeouts by the fourth inning of this one. He generated an eye-popping 24 swinging strikes, including 16 on his signature slider alone, and finished with a sublime 49 percent CSW. The 26-year-old former top prospect appears to be putting together a full-scale breakthrough campaign and should be rostered in all fantasy formats. He’ll carry a sparkling 2.10 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 41/7 K/BB ratio across 30 innings (five starts) into a favorable road tilt on Sunday against the Mariners.

Meyer was excellent until faltering a bit the third time around the Diamondbacks’ lineup. He’d forced 10 swings-and-misses with strikeouts over the first three innings and looked unstoppable. His slider command was perfect as it darted just below the strike zone time and time again to leave his opponents spinning. He may have leaned on that pitch a bit too much though, throwing it more than twice as much as any other pitch in his arsenal. Arizona jumped ahead after Meyer threw Corbin Carroll two straight sliders in the bottom of the zone. The first he fouled off before lacing a single on the next one. Pavin Smith homered in the next inning when similarly Meyer threw him consecutive changeups with the second getting too much of the plate. Nevertheless, it was a solid start overall for Meyer who continues to grow as a pitcher. He’s lined up for a juicy two-start week against the Reds and Mariners next week.
