The Angels\u2019 40-man roster is full after these moves.<\/p>\n<p>The 31-year-old Anderson has thrown 31 1\/3 big league innings since the start of 2025, all coming with the Angels. Unfortunately, he\u2019s been downright dreadful in that time, posting an ERA near 9.00 and allowing ten home runs, or 2.87 per nine innings. Opposing hitters have batted .361 on balls in play off Anderson in that span, but while that\u2019s far above league average, it\u2019s only marginally higher than Anderson\u2019s career .346 BABIP in over 180 innings pitched. Simply put, he\u2019s allowing far too many runs for the bad luck to make a meaningful difference.<\/p>\n<p>More to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Angels announced several roster moves today, mostly on the pitching side.
