Anderson, who hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2022, had been fighting for a spot back in the Braves rotation.

The Atlanta Braves traded Ian Anderson for parts. The Los Angeles Angels will add a high-profile starter to their rotation, which is worth a shot for a rebuilding squad.

After giving him a full look during Spring Training, the Braves finally opted to end the Ian Anderson experiment before Opening Day by trading him to the Angels, where he will join Ron Washington and a bevy of his former teammates.
