Sitting out Sunday Anderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Though Anderson will hit the bench for the series finale, Major League Baseball has yet to announce any suspension for the shortstop, who was ejected in the sixth inning of Saturday's 7-4 win after exchanging punches with Cleveland third baseman Jose Ramirez. Expect MLB to announce in the coming days whether any players involved in the brawl will face a suspension, leaving Anderson's availability for the White Sox's upcoming six-game week in flux.

Nabs 11th steal Anderson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Texas.

Impact Anderson is finally showing signs of life after a sluggish first half. The 30-year-old shortstop is slashing .338/.394/.415 in 16 games since the All-Star break, with eight multi-hit efforts and two steals during that stretch.

Finally finds power stroke Anderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Guardians.

Impact He hadn't gone yard in over a calendar year, but Anderson ended the drought by driving a Logan Allen fastball deep to left field in the first inning. The shortstop appears to be on the trade block with the deadline approaching, so he's picked the right time to catch fire at the plate -- since the All-Star break, Anderson's slashing .351/.413/.439, a far cry from his .245/.286/.293 line on the season.

Steals home in loss Anderson went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

Impact Anderson opened the scoring when he stole home in the third inning, which came as part of a double steal that saw Luis Robert swipe second base. Over the last six games, Anderson's bat has come to life a bit -- he has four multi-hit efforts and three RBI in that span. The shortstop is up to 10 thefts on the year, his seventh straight full-length season with double-digit steals. He's added a lackluster .239/.279/.278 slash line with no home runs, 16 RBI, 33 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple though his recent hitting suggests he may be turning things around in the second half.

JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Showing slight improvement Anderson went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI on Tuesday against the Mets.

Impact Anderson has multiple hits in three of his last four starts and has maintained a .258 average across his last 62 at-bats. He has still yet to homer and has a particularly poor .041 ISO on the season, though it's encouraging to see him at least reaching base at a more consistent clip in the short term. Anderson consistently hits second in the order, so he could be a source of runs in the final months of the season.

What we learned in MLB this week: Bryce Harper's power is missing

The Yankees' bullpen has kept them in the playoff hunt, the White Sox must be sellers, and Andrew Abbott is saving the Reds' rotation.

What we learned in MLB this week: Bryce Harper's power is missing

Still hitting poorly Anderson went 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base Sunday against the Athletics.

Impact Anderson tallied his second multi-hit effort in his last four starts, though he's still hitting just .172 across his last 22 games. He's stolen only three bases and scored seven runs in that span, providing little fantasy appeal. Anderson has also still yet to go yard and has an abysmal .036 ISO across 263 plate appearances on the campaign.

Not starting Sunday Anderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact The 30-year-old started the past two days at second base after missing five games with a shoulder injury, and he's back out of the starting nine Sunday. There's been no reports that Anderson aggravated the injury, so it may just be an extra maintenance day amid a 2-for-30 slump. Elvis Andrus will receive another start at shortstop while Zach Remillard mans the keystone.

Remains at second base Anderson is starting at second base and hitting second Saturday against the Red Sox.

Impact Anderson was absent from the lineup for five days while battling a shoulder injury. He returned Friday and played second base, and he'll do so again Saturday. Elvis Andrus will bat ninth and play Anderson's typical role at shortstop.

JUNE 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Knocks in lone run in return Anderson (shoulder) went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Anderson was out of action for a week with a sore shoulder, but he was able to return and play a full game at second base. While the soreness isn't fully gone, it appears he may be able to tough it out now. He's struggled of late, going just 2-for-26 (.077) over his last eight contests. It's unclear if Anderson will log enough time at second base to earn eligibility there in fantasy before returning to his usual position at shortstop.

JUNE 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting at second Friday Anderson (shoulder) was added to the White Sox's lineup for Friday's game against Boston.

Impact Anderson was initially held out of Friday's lineup in favor of Zach Remillard, but Anderson officially will start for the first time since Saturday. His shoulder is still limiting his ability to throw -- hence his start at second base -- but he should still be healthy enough to resume starting everyday. The 30-year-old infielder is slashing .249/.290/.292 through 221 plate appearances this year.

JUNE 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Friday Anderson (shoulder) is not in Friday's lineup against the Red Sox.

Impact He originally injured his right shoulder a week ago and most recently appeared off the bench Tuesday against the Rangers. Elvis Andrus will start at shortstop while Zach Remillard will start at the keystone.

JUNE 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Wednesday Anderson (shoulder) is absent from the lineup again Wednesday versus the Rangers.

Impact Anderson came off the bench for a pinch-hitting appearance Tuesday, but he'll miss a fourth straight start as he recovers from a bout of right shoulder soreness. Elvis Andrus is playing shortstop for the White Sox and Zach Remillard will handle second base.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Held out again Tuesday Anderson (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact It's the third straight start Anderson has missed due to right shoulder soreness. He's considered day-to-day and it's possible he'll be ready to play Wednesday, but with an off day Thursday, it might make sense for the White Sox to go ahead and hold him out until Friday. Elvis Andrus will again handle shortstop Tuesday while Zach Remillard takes over at second base.
