Ian Anderson, the winning pitcher in Game 3 of the 2021 World Series, rejoined the Atlanta Braves on Monday, a day after he was claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels.

Atlanta also signed veteran outfielder Eddie Rosario, optioned outfielder Jarred Kelenic to Triple-A Gwinnett and designated right-hander Zach Thompson for assignment.

A 26-year-old right-hander, Anderson went 0-1 with an 11.57 ERA in seven appearances this season for the Angels, who acquired him in a trade with Atlanta in March. The appearances were his first in the majors since 2022; he had Tommy John surgery the following year.
