Kade Anderson promoted by Mariners to start against Cubs

The Seattle Mariners are set to promote pitching prospect Kade Anderson for a start against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Anderson, the third overall pick in last year's MLB Draft, has been dominating in Double-A with a 10-1 record, a 1.06 ERA, and 135 strikeouts in 93 1/3 innings. The Mariners are three games out of the final Wild Card spot in the American League and are looking for Anderson to contribute in their playoff push. His performance against one of the league's best teams will be closely watched as he makes his MLB debut.
