Ian Anderson to Miss All of 2026 After Shoulder Surgery
Former Atlanta Braves right-hander Ian Anderson (shoulder) tore the labrum in his throwing shoulder on Christmas Eve and underwent season-ending surgery on Jan. 13. Anderson will remain on the free-agent market and will not pitch at all in 2026. He is scheduled to pick up a baseball in late summer or early fall, with the goal of signing with a team for the 2027 campaign. Anderson has fallen a long way since being taken third overall in the 2016 draft by the Braves. He made his return to a big-league mound last year with the Los Angeles Angels for the first time since 2022, but he wasn't good, allowing 13 runs (12 earned) on 17 hits (two homers) while walking seven and striking out eight in only 9 1/3 relief innings. With another serious injury setback, Anderson will merely be hoping to sign a minor-league deal with a team in 2027.
