As the Colorado Rockies prepare to welcome back ace Jon Gray in the coming weeks, they will be without another starting pitcher once again. Tyler Anderson, who the team activated off the disabled list on June 22, landed back on the 10-day DL on Monday after he sustained inflammation in his given knee.

Anderson previously spent three weeks on the disabled list in June with knee inflammation in the same knee. He returned to the mound on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but things went poorly. After he hurled two shutout innings, Anderson surrendered two-run home runs to Kiké Hernandez and Cody Bellinger that would lead to his departure. 

The team later revealed he exited with a hamstring cramp, but that report later became left knee inflammation. Given the southpaw already missed three and a half weeks with the same injury, fantasy owners and Rockies fans likely should expect Anderson to miss a month-plus of action.

We've seen Anderson struggle across cross 13 games, 12 starts, this season. In those 63 1/3 innings pitched, he posted a 6.11 ERA, 5.41 FIP and 2.13 HR/9. Now with him sidelined, the team can return to a five-man rotation with Gray's return coming this weekend.
