With the regular season winding down on Sunday and the Colorado Rockies chasing the postseason and their first-ever National League West title, Anderson was scratched from Monday night’s start against the Philadelphia Phillies because of shoulder soreness. Jon Gray stepped in and delivered a solid performance then, on Tuesday night, a bullpen game led by Chad Bettis pushed the Rockies to the win and past the St. Louis Cardinals for the second Wild Card slot.
Will he be back this season? That’s the question on many minds with just five regular-season games left, including Wednesday night’s tilt against the Phillies.
