The 2023 season for the Kansas City Royals was one in the same as it has been in the past few seasons. The Royals finished 56-106 and last place in the American League Central division for the second straight season.
The Royals have been one of the game’s most active teams this winter but don’t appear done with their offseason just yet.
The Royals acquired right-hander Nick Anderson from the Braves, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports (X links). The Braves will receive cash considerations in return.
Earlier today, the Braves announced a plethora of roster moves surrounding some of their injured relievers. Jesse Chavez is back with the major-league club after his rehab assignment last week with the Stripers.
A busy day on the news front for the Atlanta Braves The Atlanta Braves announced a series of roster moves on Thursday, which sent right-hander Nick Anderson to the 60-day injured list to make room for a waiver claim.
About a month ago, the Braves outrighted Lucas Luetge to Triple-A Gwinnett after the club designated the veteran for assignment. Now, he’ll return to Atlanta.
The Braves pitching staff has been plagued by the injury bug all season, and just when it started to feel like everyone was on their way back, their bullpen suffers a massive blow.
The Braves have claimed outfielder Dalton Guthrie off waivers from the Giants, per announcements from both clubs. Guthrie has been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett.
After missing most of the past two seasons due to injury, off-season free agent signee Nick Anderson has been a steady contributor as a right-handed, high-leverage reliever.
The Braves were relatively quiet this offseason, but the moves they did make have turned into gold early in the season. Sean Murphy was the one blockbuster acquisition, as he came over from Oakland in a trade.
One of Alex Anthopoulos’ greatest strengths is finding diamonds in the rough. The Braves have several candidates for the 2023 campaign, like Sam Hilliard and Kevin Pillar, but Nick Anderson is quietly having a productive season in relief.
An expected move as Wright needs a little more time before making his debut. As expected, the Braves have placed right-handed starter Kyle Wright on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.
With the news that Kyle Wright will begin the season on the injured list, the rest of the Atlanta Braves’ Opening Day pitching staff is coming into view.
One of the players I was most excited to see in Spring Training was Nick Anderson. Once a highly touted reliever for the Tampa Bay Rays, he’s been limited to just six innings since 2021 after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
This continues my series where I predict the 2023 stats of each Braves player, moving onto someone I believe fans will become very fond with this year, Nick Anderson.
Atlanta Braves news and notes from Wednesday The Braves made their first cuts of spring training, headlined by Chadwick Tromp to triple-A and Blake Burkhalter to minor league camp.
“Stable” reinforcements are on the way The Rays are known for finding bullpen talent. Pitchers like Jason Adam, Andrew Kittredge, the 2019 Nick Anderson, were at best unheralded, and in some cases close to forgotten.
The Rays have placed right-hander Nick Anderson on outright waivers, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. The hard-throwing reliever no longer occupies a spot on Tampa Bay’s 40-man roster, and other clubs have an opportunity to add him if they’re willing to devote him a roster spot.
Tampa Bay Ray veteran reliever Nick Anderson’s 2022 season is officially over, as per Marc Topkin of Tampa Bay Times. One of the leaders of Tampa Bay’s famed relief corps will call 2022 a lost season, having dealt with a torn elbow ligament in March 2021 and, more recently, plantar fasciitis on his right foot.
The Tampa Bay Rays activated right-hander Nick Anderson from the 60-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Durham. Anderson, 32, has been sidelined all season after undergoing surgery on his right elbow in October.
Considering how much the reigning AL champion Rays lean on their bullpen, the loss of Anderson for at least a few months is an especially troubling development.
One of the smaller impact trades of Wednesday’s deadline included the Miami Marlins sending pitchers Nick Anderson and Trevor Richards to the Tampa Bay Rays.
