Anderson made just two appearances with the Rangers after signing a minor-league contract with the team on Apr. 18. In those two games, Anderson gave up 6 hits and 2 runs while striking out three batters in three and a third innings.

The 29-year-old journeyman was called up to the Rangers’ roster from Triple-A Round Rock on May 15, after making four starts with the Express.

The Rangers’ bullpen is still in flux after rookie reliever Cole Winn had a poor performance against the Phillies last week, highlighting the teams’ lack of pitching options when playing from behind. Besides Winn, Grant Anderson, Jonathan Hernández and Yerry Rodriguez are the team’s remaining options when it comes to those situations, and it’s yet to be seen whether or not the team will make any additional moves ahead of the Jul. 30 trade deadline.
