Dodgers' Brett Anderson: Three innings in his first minor league rehab outing Thursday

Anderson (back) allowed a run on five hits over three innings in his first rehab appearance for High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Thursday.

Analysis:

Anderson is expected to ramp up to five innings and then six innings in his next two appearances before being evaluated for inclusion on the 25-man roster. He's yet to pitch in the big leagues this year after having surgery in March to repair a bulging disk in his lower back.
