Anderson was a key member of the Brewers’ bullpen this year with a 3.36 ERA in 59 innings across 52 appearances this season. It remains to be seen what his timeline is for a return.

Anderson, 29, takes the place of the injured Abner Uribe (forearm) in the Brewers’ bullpen. He has already made 44 appearances with the big league club this season, registering a 3.70 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 41/18 K/BB ratio over 48 2/3 innings. He’ll return to a middle relief role.

Anderson heads to the minors to make room for lefty starter Kyle Harrison on Milwaukee’s roster. The 29-year-old has been a mainstay in the club’s relief mix for the last couple years and holds a strong 3.70 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 41/18 K/BB ratio across 48 2/3 innings this season. He still has options left, which is why he’s the odd-man out.

Anderson was pulled from Thursday’s game after he was struck on the forearm by a line drive off the bat of Bryce Eldridge in the seventh inning. Fortunately, he was able to avoid any serious injury and merely suffered a bruised forearm. He’s considered day-to-day.

The afternoon went from bad to worse for the Brewers as Anderson was drilled in the arm by an 89.6 mph line drive off the bat of Bryce Eldridge. He’ll presumably head for imaging to rule out any potential fractures. Look for the Brewers to provide an update on his status as soon as more information becomes available.
