Anderson struck out seven batters over five perfect innings in a start with Double-A Arkansas on Friday.
Presumably due to rest, Anderson hadn't taken the mound in three weeks before Friday, but he picked up right where he left off and showed no signs of rust. The Mariners plans for Anderson over the rest of 2026 aren't clear, but with the lefty sporting a 1.27 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and eye-popping 115:10 K:BB in 77.2 innings on the season, it's evident Double-A batters are no match for him.
