Chase Anderson Designated for Assignment by Texas Rangers

Anderson Struggles in Texas

Chase Anderson, the veteran right-hander, has been designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers. The move comes after a disappointing start to the season for Anderson, who has posted a 7.36 ERA in six starts.

Anderson was signed by the Rangers to a one-year, $2.5 million contract in the offseason. He was expected to be a key part of the Rangers' rotation, but he has struggled to find his footing in Texas.

Anderson's Career

Anderson has a career record of 82-82 with a 4.23 ERA. He has pitched for the Milwaukee Brewers, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Toronto Blue Jays.

Anderson was an All-Star in 2017 with the Brewers. He has also pitched in the postseason with the Brewers and Diamondbacks.

What's Next for Anderson?

It is unclear what the future holds for Anderson. He could be claimed by another team, or he could sign a minor league contract and try to work his way back to the majors.

The Rangers have a number of other options in their rotation, including Jon Gray, Martín Pérez, and Dane Dunning. It is likely that Anderson will not be a part of the Rangers' long-term plans.

Other Notable DFA Moves

The Rangers have also designated outfielder Willie Calhoun for assignment. Calhoun was a highly-touted prospect, but he has struggled to live up to expectations in the majors.

The Rangers' DFA moves are a sign that they are not satisfied with the current state of their team. They are likely to make more moves in the coming weeks and months in an effort to improve their chances of winning.
