Chase Anderson Brought to Major League Camp

 

   `

The Reds re-assigned veteran Chase Anderson to the major league camp, inidicating he has a chance to earn an opening day roster spot for his 10th big league season.

The Reds need to fill two starting rotation slots to augment a trio of young pitchers, Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo and Graham Ashcraft, starting their second year. The club signed Anderson, 35, to a minor league contract on February 18

The Reds signed him on August 27 last season and posted two wins last September to finish.  He pitched two scoreless innings on Monday night against Colorado, allowing two hits and striking out five.

"Chase was like we saw at the end of last season," an impressed David Bell said. "The first time we've seen him this year, really looked like he was in mid-season form.  He had a really good change up, his velocity was really good.  That's a tough combination when he's throwing 93,94 with that change up it is tough for major league hitters to square up."
