Anderson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Since activating Anderson from the 10-day injured list Sept. 14, the White Sox have been managing his workload carefully coming off a hamstring issue. He'll sit Monday for the fourth time in 13 games, and another off day or two could be in store for Anderson over the final week of the regular season with Chicago essentially locked in as the American League's No. 3 seed in the playoffs.

Anderson isn't starting the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

Anderson started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson, who was recently reinstated from the injured list, played on back-to-back days for the second time since returning from a hamstring injury. The White Sox's original plan was to use him every other day initially, but it appears those plans have been scrapped. Anderson has hit safely in all five games since coming back, going 6-for-22 with a double and five runs scored.

Anderson will not start Saturday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was originally expected to start every other game as he eases his way back from a hamstring injury, but he wound up being added to the lineup Friday because he wanted to test his hamstring on back-to-back days. He's evidently not ready to play in three consecutive games just yet, so he'll sit Saturday as Leury Garcia takes over at shortstop.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was originally scheduled to be out of the starting lineup, a designed plan to limit the shortstop to an every-other-day pattern immediately following a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring injury. Anderson, who played Thursday, reported feeling well enough to go on back-to-back days, so manager Tony La Russa allowed it Friday, per Brian Sandalow of the Chicago Sun-Times. Anderson showed no hindrance when he scored from first base on Luis Robert's double in the fourth inning.

Anderson was added to the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers after previously being listed on the bench.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox looked like they were sticking to their previously discussed plan of starting Anderson every other game in order to ease him back into action after he returned from a hamstring strain Tuesday. However, per James Fegan of The Athletic, manager Tony La Russa said the shortstop is now feeling well enough to play back-to-back days. It's still seems more than likely that Anderson will be given regular days off during the final two weeks of the season to ensure that he's fully healthy for the postseason.

Anderson will head back to the bench as expected Friday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The expectation when Anderson returned from a hamstring strain Tuesday was that he'd play every other day for some time. It's not clear how long the White Sox intend to continue that pattern, but they've stuck to it for four games thus far. Romy Gonzalez will be the shortstop Friday, but Anderson should return to the lineup Saturday if the pattern continues.

Anderson isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Tony La Russa said Tuesday that Anderson will start every other day for the time being, so he'll be on the bench after going 1-for-5 in Tuesday's win. Leury Garcia will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Anderson went 1-for-5 in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's second-inning single didn't lead to any runs, but it was an opportunity to confirm that the shortstop is past the hamstring strain that sidelined him for over two weeks. The 28-year-old is scheduled to play every other day for the time being, but he should have plenty of time to ramp up to an everyday spot in the lineup by the start of the postseason.

Manager Tony La Russa said that Anderson (hamstring), who is starting at shortstop Tuesday against the Angels, will be playing every other day for a while, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was activated from the injured list earlier Tuesday and is set to return to the top of Chicago's order for the series opener against the Halos. La Russa wasn't specific regarding how long he plans to alternate starts and days off for Anderson, but the club will almost certainly want to have him playing close to everyday by the final week of the season. Anderson resumes his campaign hitting .302/.331/.458 with 14 homers, 26 doubles, 53 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 82 runs scored.
