The Braves would love to get Anderson back to top form, as the right-hander is 4-0 with a 1.25 ERA in the postseason.

It's been some time since the Atlanta Braves starter has been seen in the big league uniform, and he had a rough finish in his return

The Atlanta Braves can't trust Ian Anderson to fill the final rotation slot, so Alex Anthopoulos needs to start investigating the trade market.

While he hoped his postseason track record might sway the Braves to call on him to face the Padres, they weren’t comfortable turning to Anderson to make his return on that stage. They wanted him to be fully recovered and strong before his return. Now, it’s added fuel to his fire this spring.

The Atlanta Braves open the year with only three proven starters available. Ian Anderson’s healthy return would add a different look and stabilize the rotation.

The Atlanta Braves were again proposed to be a potential trade suitor for a pair of starting pitchers the same weekend Ian Anderson struggled in his Spring Training debut.

The Braves have two Spring Training games in the books, and Sunday’s game against the Rays featured one of the more intriguing storylines to follow over the next several weeks in the performance of Ian Anderson.
