Anderson nears return; Gray not quite ready

DENVER -- Rockies lefty Tyler Anderson could be activated for his next start, after one injury rehab appearance, while righty Jon Gray has made two rehab appearances, but will need another, Rockies manager Bud Black said Tuesday.

Anderson (3-5, 5.85 ERA), who is on the 10-day disabled list with left knee inflammation, last pitched in the Majors on May 30. His one rehab appearance for Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday -- five innings, one run, six strikeouts -- could be enough, depending on how he responds to between-starts work. He would be in line to start Friday's opener of a three-game road series with the Dodgers.
