The White Sox outrighted Anderson to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will remain part of the organization after going unclaimed off waivers when the White Sox designated him for assignment over the weekend. The 32-year-old righty opened the season at Charlotte after failing to win a spot in Chicago's Opening Day bullpen and had turned in a 7.94 ERA and 1.73 WHIP over 5.2 innings at Triple-A.

The White Sox designated Anderson for assignment Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Chicago needed the 40-man roster spot in order to promote Chase Meidroth from Triple-A Charlotte. Anderson pitched in 56 regular-season games out of the bullpen for the White Sox last season, turning in a 4.39 ERA and 9.62 K/9 across 53.1 innings.

The White Sox optioned Anderson to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Heading into spring training, Anderson seemed to be a leading candidate to earn saves for the White Sox this season, but a rough showing in Cactus League play was enough to remove him from consideration for an Opening Day bullpen spot entirely. Over his seven spring appearances, Anderson yielded eight runs (seven earned) on 10 hits and four walks over six innings. The White Sox have yet to name a closer as Opening Day approaches, though manager Will Venable said two weeks ago that Mike Clevinger ranks near the top of the list for the team's options in the ninth inning.

Anderson agreed to a one-year, $900,000 contract with the White Sox on Thursday, avoiding arbitration.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson returned to the majors for the first time in five years last season, finishing 2024 with a 4.39 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 53.1 frames. While his numbers don't exactly jump off the stat sheet, the right-hander's experience could allow him to be one of the White Sox's go-to options in high-leverage situations, as Chicago projects to have a very young and very thin bullpen.

Anderson walked one and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his first save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old righty had five previous career saves, all of them coming with the Halos in 2018-19. Anderson hasn't exactly been sharp of late, posting a 4.15 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB through 8.2 innings in September, but he misses bats with his fastball-slider combo and can be an effective high-leverage arm when he maintains a semblance of control. If the White Sox have any more late leads to protect over the final handful of games this season, Anderson could get the call again.

The White Sox recalled Anderson from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old will join Chicago on Friday as Dominic Leone (elbow) heads to the injured list. Anderson has made three appearances for the White Sox and has spent most of the campaign with Charlotte, where he has a 2.50 ERA and 25:4 K:BB over 18 innings.

The White Sox returned Anderson to Triple-A Charlotte after Tuesday's doubleheader against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson pitched a scoreless inning during the first game of the twin bill, giving up one walk while punching out two batters. He owns a 2.81 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 16 frames in Triple-A, and he could return to the majors later this year if Chicago's bullpen depth is tested further.

The White Sox recalled Anderson from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will serve as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals. The right-hander has allowed two runs over 2.1 innings across two appearances during his brief time with the White Sox this season. He is likely to be sent back down to Charlotte after Tuesday's twin bill.

The White Sox selected Anderson's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson had tossed 4.2 scoreless frames with a 5:0 K:BB at Charlotte. It will be the first stint in the majors for the 31-year-old since 2019, as he had Tommy John surgery and bounced around to a couple different organizations since then.
