Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson was suspended for one game by MLB on Friday. Anderson made an obscene gesture towards fans in Cleveland during his team's loss to the Guardians on Wednesday and will be forced to sit out a game as punishment. The Chicago infielder plans to appeal the punishment and will be able to play for the White Sox in the meantime until he can meet with the league. It is hard to see MLB overturning the suspension considering it was caught on camera, but Anderson ...

He was suspended three games at the time and he is serving the end of the suspension to kick off the 2022 campaign. The 28-year-old missed some time due to injury last year, but was a great ...

For the second time in three years, Tim Anderson just fell short of a 20/20 season, mainly due to only playing 123 games. In 2019, Anderson had 18 homers and 17 steals, while in 2021, he had 17 homers and 18 steals. Anderson also managed just 49 games in 2020 so has played just 77% of games over the last three seasons, otherwise, he would likely be going earlier than he is in drafts currently (~36 ADP). In OBP leagues, Anderson is significantly less appealing given his career 3.5% BB. His 4.0% ...
