Rangers release Drew Anderson

The Texas Rangers have released pitcher Drew Anderson, according to the MLB.com transactions page. The Rangers apparently released Anderson on October 29 — last Friday — but John Blake hasn’t tweeted about it, and I don’t think an official announcement has gone out.

Anderson was signed to a minor league deal in January, and spent the first half of the season in the Round Rock rotation. When the Rangers needed reinforcements for the major league pitching staff after dealing Joely Rodriguez, Ian Kennedy and Kyle Gibson at the trade deadline, Anderson was brought up, and had four major league appearances before landing on the COVID-19 injured list as part of the Boston outbreak.
