ANAHEIM — Left hander Brett Anderson isn’t expected to miss his next start, despite being forced out of his last one by a mild oblique strain.
Anderson left in the sixth inning of Saturday’s loss to the Houston Astros, but the extra day of rest provided by Monday’s offday proved beneficial, manager Bob Melvin said.
“He came in a little bit sore (Sunday),” Melvin said. “I thought he would, but I think we’re on schedule for his start.”
Anderson’s turn in the rotation would come Friday against Texas in the opener of a four-game series that includes a day-night doubleheader Saturday to make up for an April 13 rainout.
