Manager Phil Nevin announced the move after Saturday’s 1-0 victory against the AL Central champion Minnesota Twins. Anderson was scheduled to start the series finale but was experiencing more soreness following a bullpen session on Friday.

“Felt pretty good yesterday and then just didn’t really respond,” Anderson said. “Didn’t bounce back very well today. If I felt better today than yesterday, I was definitely going to start tomorrow. That was my plan but just kind of regressed.”

Anderson, 26, ends the season with a 6-6 record, a 5.43 ERA and 119 strikeouts in 141 innings. He signed a three-year, $39 million with the Angels in the offseason after spending 2022 with the crosstown Dodgers when he went 15-5 with a 2.57 ERA.

Los Angeles has not announced a starter for Sunday’s afternoon game in Minnesota.
