Anderson went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 5-1 victory against the Blue Jays on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With the three-hit afternoon, Anderson improved to 8-for-25 (.320) with two homers and six RBI in the last seven games. He's only walked six times this season, but Anderson still supports a healthy .331/.362/.535 slash line. Anderson also has eight home runs, 24 RBI and 25 runs in 142 at-bats this year.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday night against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson belted his seventh home run of the season in the fifth inning, cutting the deficit to two runs. The 25-year-old has been cooling off at the plate of late, but he's still slashing .328/.357/.522 with 21 RBI and 12 stolen bases over 35 contests in 2019.

Anderson went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's explosive April has given way to a cooling-off period to start May. The shortstop is batting .179 (5-for-28) since the calendar flipped. His 138 wRC+ is a good place to be in early May while his 5.4 barrel percentage and 87.6 mph average exit velocity are up compared to last season. However, an unsustainable .380 BABIP suggests further cooling for Anderson, who has shown some maturation but still has improvements to make in terms of plate discipline.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson went 4-for-6 with a home run, a double, two RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base Friday night against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson cut the deficit to four runs in the sixth with a double to left, and he walked it off in the bottom of the ninth with a solo homer to left. The 25-year-old has been clicking at the dish of late and now owns a seven-game hitting streak heading into Saturday's matchup.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson returned to action after missing one game due to a suspension, but the break didn't slow his roll to start 2019. The fourth-year shortstop, who ranks 11th with a 1.085 OPS, has a major-league leading nine steals.

Anderson and the White Sox won't play Saturday against the Tigers after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Detroit, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The two teams will make up the game as part of a doubleheader Aug. 6. Anderson was reinstated from his one-game suspension prior to the postponement and will be eligible to rejoin the lineup for Sunday's series finale.

Anderson has been reinstated from his one-game suspension and will start at shortstop and bat second Saturday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Rather than appealing, Anderson chose to immediately serve the suspension he was handed for the language he directed at Royals pitcher Brad Keller when the right-hander intentionally threw at him in Wednesday's game against Kansas City. With the brief ban behind him, Anderson will settle back into a full-time role in the middle infield and will look to continue his hot start to the season. The 25-year-old is slashing .422/.439/.656 with four home runs and a 7-for-7 success rate on stolen-base attempts through 16 games.

Anderson will serve his one-game suspension Friday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was forced to miss a game after directing a racial slur towards Royals pitcher Brad Keller in a brawl which followed Keller hitting Anderson with a pitch Wednesday. Leury Garcia starts at shortstop in his absence.
