EDGE Analysis

The White Sox placed Anderson on the paternity list Wednesday, despite the fact he had been away from the team since Monday, and while he could wait until this weekend to return, it sounds like Anderson is intent on getting back for the home opener. Jose Rondon is starting at shortstop and hitting seventh Wednesday.
