Injuries limited Anderson to just eight starts for the Colorado Rockies in 2014, in which he posted a 1-3 record alongside a 2.91 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 2.23 SO/BB ratio. Per MLBTR, the Rockies paid Anderson a $1.5MM buyout rather than picking up his $12MM club option.

In his career, the 26-year-old southpaw owns a 27-32 record with a 3.73 ERA, 1.285 WHIP and a 2.90 SO/BB ratio.

Anderson, along with recently acquired Brandon McCarthy, will join a stacked Dodgers’ rotation that already includes reigning Cy-Young award winner Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, and Hyun-Jin Ryu.
