Welcome to Contact Rate Risers and Fallers! Our premium tools allow us to get out ahead of trends in player performance, including contact rate. Every Wednesday, we'll be looking at some players that have seen an increase in contact rate and some that have seen it decline.

Contact rate shifts often act as a precursor to hot streaks and slumps. He[...]

This article is the second in our series on trade targets for the second half of the season. Part 1 focused on players generally ranked in the top 50. This installment focuses on offensive players ranked outside the top 50. Part three will focus on pitchers. After that, we'll focus on players to target for specific categories rather than positional improvement.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (forearm) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday after sitting out Friday after he was hit by a pitch on Thursday. He's back at shortstop and is hitting eighth against Astros starter Charlie Morton. While Anderson has been a fine fantasy option in season-long leagues, you may want to ignore him on Saturday in DFS while hitting that low in the lineup against a formidable starter.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is sitting on Friday after being hit with a pitch on his forearm on Thursday. There's no word on if the injury is serious, however, he has yet to be placed on the disabled list. He's being replaced by Luery Garcia who is batting eighth. Garcia has hit .280 with three home runs and 17 RBI in 2018, but is not a recommended streamer on Friday.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson left Thursday's contest early after he was hit on his left forearm in the eighth inning. Anderson stayed in and stole a base, but was eventually replaced. Anderson is considered day-to-day at the moment. If he were to miss any time, Leury Garcia would see more at-bats and could be worth keeping an eye on in AL-only leagues.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson will get a day off Thursday. Anderson has just six hits over his last 41 at-bats. Anderson is only hitting .230, but he does have 11 home runs and 14 stolen bases. He is a good source at the shortstop position for both power and speed and should be owned even through his cold streak. Jose Rondon will replace Anderson and bat second today. Rondon can be avoided in all formats.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson will rest Thursday versus the Twins. Anderson is having a nice season with 11 home runs, 25 RBI and 13 stolen bases to go along with a .242 batting average. Jose Rondon will replace Anderson in the lineup and bat seventh. Rondon can be avoided Thursday.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson swiped his 13th base on Wednesday versus the Minnesota Twins. Anderson also went 2-for-4 with a run scored and three RBI. Anderson is now hitting .242 with 11 home runs and 25 RBI. He remains one of the more underrated power and speed shortstops in the game.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson picked up stolen base No. 12 on Tuesday evening versus the Indians. Anderson is starting to heat up again and is tied for the White Sox team lead with 11 home runs. Anderson remains a strong threat to hit 20 home runs and steal 20 bases. He should be owned in all leagues.
