Anderson 4-for-9 with a home run, two doubles and three runs scored during Tuesday's doubleheader at Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old had a strong start in the season opener with two hits and two runs scored, but he struggled in the following two games and went 0-for-9 with a run scored, a walk and three strikeouts. Anderson is now 6-for-23 with six runs scored and one home run through five games.

Anderson batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Friday's 10-5 loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson, who won the American League batting title in 2019, was back at it to start 2020. He's expected to remain up in the order, although there is a chance manager Rick Renteria eventually moves Luis Robert, a leadoff hitter in the minors, atop the order once the rookie acclimates to MLB pitching.

Anderson hit a pair of home runs in Sunday's intrasquad game and now has three total home runs during intrasquad play, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There are no official statistics for intrasquad play, but Anderson is unofficially the league leader with three home runs in the early going. He is certainly seeing the ball well, which is encouraging after he hit .185 with a .214 OBP and zero home runs in 28 plate appearances during spring training.

Anderson (illness) will start at shortstop and bat second in Monday's Cactus League game against the Padres, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was sidelined over the weekend with a stomach virus, but he'll get the green light to rejoin the spring lineup after reporting to the ballpark healthy Monday. He'll slot behind Yoan Moncada in the lineup, and those two players are expected to regularly occupy the Nos. 1 and 2 spots in some order once Opening Day arrives.

Anderson will miss Friday's game against Cleveland due to a stomach virus, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the illness occurring nearly a month before Opening Day, Anderson can afford to miss a few days and still have plenty of time to get ready for the regular season. He lines up to hit near the top of the batting order for the White Sox as the everyday shortstop this season.

Anderson batted leadoff Sunday, going 1-for-3 with an RBI in a spring win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago's leadoff batter is one job yet to be determined as Cactus League games commence. Anderson and Yoan Moncada, who batted second, are expected to occupy the top two spots in the order. Anderson is not the classic top-of-the-order guy in that he's a free swinger that doesn't draw many walks (2.9 percent in 2019). That spot will give him plenty of plate appearances, which the White Sox will want from the American League's reigning batting champ (.335).

Manager Rick Renteria said he's leaning towards hitting Anderson first or second in the order, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson and Yoan Moncada are tentatively expected to fill the top two spots in Chicago's lineup, in any order, though nothing is set in stone. The 26-year-old is coming off a career year in 2019 during which he hit .335/.357/.508 with 18 home runs and 17 stolen bases in 123 games.

Anderson is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

He is in the midst of a 13-game hitting streak, slashing .390/.393/.525 with two home runs and one steal over that stretch. Danny Mendick is starting at shortstop and hitting second.

Anderson went 4-for-5 with two runs scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's MLB-high batting average swelled to .339 following the four-hit effort, his fifth time this season with that may hits. He now has a 10-point lead over Christian Yelich and Ketel Marte, both of whom are injured and done for the season, and 11 points more than DJ LeMahieu. He's still a free swinger, chasing pitches outside the zone, but has improved his contact rate and enjoys a .402 BABIP.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and walk during a 5-3 victory against the Tigers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox shortstop is now on a nine-game hitting streak and has gone deep twice in the last four contests. During his streak, Anderson is 16-for-46 (.348) with four extra-base hits and five RBI. Overall, he is batting .335 with 18 home runs, 56 RBI, 78 runs and 17 steals in 477 at-bats this year.
