Right-hander Ian Anderson, who was key to the Atlanta Braves' postseason runs in 2020 and '21, will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the season, ESPN and MLB.com reported Tuesday.

The No. 3 overall pick of the 2016 draft, Anderson was 3-2 with a 1.95 ERA as a rookie and went 2-0 with an 0.96 ERA in four postseason starts.

In 2021, he was 9-5 with a 3.58 ERA in the regular season and 2-0 with a 1.59 ERA in the playoffs as Atlanta won the World Series.
