Chase Anderson exits Brewers' game with injury

Chase Anderson left Wednesday's game against the Reds due to a left oblique strain.

What It Means:

Fox Sports Wisconsin's Sophia Minnaert was first with the injury news. Anderson was lifted after striking out at the plate in the second inning, and Paolo Espino took over for him on the mound.

Anderson's 2.89 ERA belies a startling 4.32 xFIP. While he has a strong 23.4 percent strikeout rate and 7.4 percent walk rate, he's due for some home run regression; he's giving up just a 7.8 percent homer per fly ball rate and just a 38 percent ground ball rate.
