In 27 starts, the 36-year-old had 104 strikeouts with a 4.56 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not the best option, but the veteran starter wouldn\u2019t be the worst option to get the Braves through the beginning of the year while they\u2019re down a lot of key starters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tyler Anderson is a two-time All-Star and has made 31 and 26 starts in each of the last two years. The Braves need a starter who can eat up innings until Spencer Strider, Spencer Schwellenbach, and Hurston Waldrep return.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More MLB on Heavy: Mets Trade Prediction Lands Astros\u2019 $60 Million Slugger for Mark Vientos<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Tyler Anderson\u2019s MLB Journey<\/h2>\n<p>Tyler Anderson began his career in 2016 with the Colorado Rockies and is a 10-year veteran with 1259 total innings pitched. Perhaps his best season came in 2022 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Anderson made 28 starts and posted an ERA of 2.57 with just 34 walks. He would be a good cheap starter option for the Atlanta Braves.<\/p>\n<p>He has five seasons of 140+ innings pitched and two All-Star appearances. His future plans are a little unclear, which could keep him back from signing with anyone, but Atlanta needs a veteran option (and another lefty) to insert in the starting rotation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5068650\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GettyImages-1432376807-e1719254728862.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" alt=\"Braves Urged to Sign 2X All-Star Starter Amid Pitching Injuries\" width=\"782\" height=\"440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5068650\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5068650\">GettyEx-Dodgers pitcher Tyler Anderson<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Braves Starting Rotation in Banged Up<\/h2>\n<p>Opening Day hasn\u2019t even passed in MLB, and the Braves\u2019 injuries are already piling up at a high rate.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer Strider is the latest of a group that includes Schwellenbach, Waldrep, and Joey Wentz.
