Dodgers' Brett Anderson: Unlikely for Thursday

Anderson (blister) is considered unlikely to start Thursday against the Giants, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

The lefty developed a blister during Saturday's start, his second start back from back surgery, and the blister is reportedly affecting his slider. As a result, the Dodgers will likely have to turn elsewhere for Thursday's start and it seems possible Anderson could wind up back on the DL. Logan Bawcom is Thursday's probable starter for Triple-A Oklahoma City but is not on the 40-man roster.
