Anderson estimated Thursday that he's about 85 percent recovered from his left hamstring strain, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Assuming Anderson's assessment of his injury aligns with the opinion of Chicago's team doctors, the shortstop could be in store for a minimum-lengthy stay on the 10-day injured list after he was deactivated Wednesday. He'll still have a few hurdles to clear in the recovery process before the White Sox reinstate him from the IL, including running the bases and playing the field with no visible limitations. As long as Anderson remains on the shelf, the White Sox will likely turn to Leury Garcia and Danny Mendick to fill in at shortstop.

Anderson has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain, retroactive to April 5.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been sidelined since leaving Sunday's game against the Angels due to left hamstring tightness. The 27-year-old underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a strain, and he'll miss additional time while he recovers. Leury Garcia should serve as the primary shortstop in his absence, and Danny Mendick was recalled from alternate camp in a corresponding move to serve as infield depth.

The White Sox are listing Anderson as day-to-day after he departed Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Angels with left hamstring tightness.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson went hitless in his lone at-bat before being pulled with the injury in the bottom of the first inning in favor of Leury Garcia. Per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times, manager Tony La Russa said after the game that he doesn't believe that Anderson's hamstring pull is serious, but even if he avoids a trip to the injured list, the shortstop would seem unlikely to be available for Monday's series opener versus the Mariners.

Anderson left Sunday's game against the Angels with a tight hamstring but isn't expected to miss much time, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson exited after hurting himself while trying to beat out a grounder, but he seems to have avoided a serious injury. Leury Garcia replaced him at shortstop and could start there for a game or two, but Anderson isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list.

Anderson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 12-8 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's solo homer was part of a five-run, ninth-inning barrage that sealed the win for the White Sox. He had 10 homers in 49 games last season and should put up the second 20-homer season of his career if he remains healthy.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Monday's spring game against San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
He launched his first Cactus League home run leading off the bottom of the first inning. Anderson then plated a second run with his second-inning double. After a slow start, Anderson is dialing in his swing, as he's gone 3-for-8 with three extra-base hits in the last two games.

Anderson batted leadoff and went 0-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's spring game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is 6-for-29 with a .475 OPS over 10 Cactus League appearances, but those numbers shouldn't scare off fantasy owners. He had subpar spring training in 2020 then posted a career-high .886 OPS. He possess a combination of power and speed that should be useful even if last season's high BABIP (.383) regresses.
