Chase Anderson joined the Brewers prior to the 2016 season as a part of the return in the Jean Segura trade with Arizona. He had been a fine back-end starter during his first two seasons in the big leagues, and was more of the same for Milwaukee in 2016 - he threw 151.2 innings with a 4.39 ERA, right around league average. Despite that, the 29 year old entered 2017 fighting for a spot in the starting rotation along with several other pitchers. Anderson did make the Opening Day rotation, but only after an injury forced Matt Garza to the disabled list a few days before the regular season began.
