I think Ian Anderson is throwing today for Atlanta's Rookie Ball team

Not today. I read he's debuting for their GCL team tomorrow. (If by Rookie Ball team you mean Danville, they're not playing today and he's not there.)

Dane Dunning promoted to Auburn.

Interesting. Giolito is pitching for Low-A Hagerstown tonight. Thought he'd been optioned to AAA Syracuse.

Closer to DC maybe? Or to help him get his confidence back?

Nevermind. He's been knocked around a bit.

Jim Bowden -
"Houston Astros are expected to call-up top prospect Alex Bregman as early as this weekend according to sources familiar with their planning. Makes sense after seeing him in the Futures Game. He not only appears ready but his bat is further along than AJ Reed and Tyler White two other rookies they've already given chances to. Bregman will probably play third with Luis Valbuena moving to first base."
