Anderson was placed on the injured list by the White Sox on Tuesday with a sprained left knee, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury -- which occurred during Monday's win over the Twins -- is expected to keep Anderson on the shelf for 2-4 weeks. Elvis Andrus should slide over to handle shortstop while Anderson is out, with Romy Gonzalez, Hanser Alberto and Lenyn Sosa getting starts at second base.

Anderson is currently receiving treatment on his knee, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was removed from Monday's victory over the Twins with left knee soreness in the sixth inning. The injury occurred when he made contact with a baserunner while attempting to bring in a poor throw on a rundown play. The shortstop is day-to-day for now, but there's a decent chance he'll sit Tuesday's game against Minnesota as a precaution at the very least.

Anderson was removed from Monday's game against the Twins due to left knee soreness in the sixth inning after suffering the injury while playing the field in the bottom of the fourth, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout prior to his departure.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson sustained the knee injury when he was clipped by a baserunner while he attempted to corral an errant throw during a rundown play. Though he was able to get up on his own, walk off the injury and stay in the game for the final out of the fourth and the entire fifth inning, Anderson remained on the bench when the White Sox returned to the field for the bottom of the sixth. Expect the White Sox to provide an update on Anderson's condition later Monday once he's further evaluated, but for now, he can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Tuesday's contest.

Anderson went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two stolen bases and four runs scored Friday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson snapped out of a short cold stretch, as he tallied his fourth multi-hit game of the season and first since April 1. He also remained aggressive on the basepaths, and his pair of stolen bases Friday brought his total on the campaign to four. Overall, Anderson has also chipped in seven runs scored and four extra-base hits (all doubles) across 36 plate appearances.

Anderson was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Giants for arguing with the home plate umpire.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson felt like he got quick-pitched by Logan Webb as he attempted to call time on what was ultimately a strikeout in the bottom of the third inning. He finished the day 0-for-2. Elvis Andrus slid over to shortstop in the top of the fourth, with Hanser Alberto entering the game at second base.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base Saturday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has collected two hits in all three games this season, and he has also scored a run in each contest as well. Perhaps the biggest takeaway from the first series of the campaign is Anderson's aggressiveness on the bases, as his stolen base in the fourth frame of Saturday's game was already his second of the campaign.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The star shortstop scored on Eloy Jimenez's first-inning double after walking and swiping second base. Anderson has collected four hits while reaching base in six of his 10 plate appearances through two games. He's off to a strong start in his quest for a fifth consecutive season with a batting average over .300.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored Thursday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson assumed his typical role as the White Sox's leadoff hitter, and he had a positive start to his season. His double came with two outs in the third inning where he was ultimately stranded, though he scored the go-ahead run in the ninth inning after earning a one-out walk. Anderson's 2022 season was derailed by groin and finger injuries, though he entered the new campaign fully healthy after also playing in the World Baseball Classic.

Anderson visited Driveline immediately before spring training to work on his swing, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson got off to a scorching start in 2022 but faltered to only a .259 average and .257 wOBA across the second half of the season. That dip in production was at least in part due to a groin injury that prevented him being comfortable at the plate, though Anderson is confident he regained his form this offseason. Encouragingly, Anderson has hit well with Team USA at the World Baseball Classic, maintaining a .364 average with two extra-base hits and a stolen base.

The White Sox exercised Anderson's (hand) $12.5 million team option for 2023 on Sunday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even though Anderson was limited to just 79 games in 2022 due to a pair of trips to the injured list, the two-time All-Star is still viewed as a core piece for the White Sox. The team's decision to keep him aboard for 2023 thus comes as no surprise, and barring a dramatic downturn in performance, Anderson will most likely stick around with Chicago through the 2024 season, when he can be brought back on a cost-effective $14 million team option. Since the start of the 2019 campaign, Anderson's .309 batting average ranks third in the majors among players with at least 1,000 plate appearances.
