Brett Anderson scheduled to start on Wednesday for Oakland

Oakland A's pitcher Brett Anderson is scheduled to pitch on Wednesday versus the Seattle Mariners.

What It Means:

Anderson is taking the rotation spot of Opening Day starter Kendall Graveman, who was an ERA of nearly 9.00 so far this year. Graveman was optioned to Triple-A, prompting the return of Anderson, who started his career in Oakland.

Anderson posted a 6.34 ERA and 1.70 WHIP with 38 strikeouts in 55 1/3 innings pitched in 2017 with the Chicago Cubs and the Toronto Blue Jays.
