Anderson is day-to-day with a sore forearm, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was hit by a pitch in the eighth inning of Thursday's loss to the Astros and was reportedly dealing with some soreness after the game. With that, the White Sox will reevaluate their starting shortstop Friday before making a decision on whether to keep Anderson in the lineup or give him the day off. If Anderson is given the day off, Yolmer Sanchez could slide over to shortstop.

Anderson went 2-for-6 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 12-8 extra-inning win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's batting average and on-base percentage remain mediocre, but he's delivered value in other areas. The stolen base was his team-high 18th and he leads the team with 47 runs scored. Until a couple of weeks ago, we couldn't even describe his average as mediocre -- he was hitting .230 on June 20 -- but Anderson's hit safely in 11 of last 12 games, going 18-for-49 (.367) with 11 runs, two home runs and seven RBI.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs and an RBI in a 10-5 victory for the White Sox over the Rangers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old raised his average up to .251 with this multi-hit effort on an explosive day for the White Sox offense. Anderson continues to be a cross-category asset, with 13 homers and 17 steals to go along with 45 runs and 34 RBI. He doesn't hit for especially high average and his .433 slugging percentage isn't spectacular, but Anderson has nonetheless posted a respectable .745 OPS over his 291 at-bats, and his ability on the basepaths also drastically enhances his fantasy value.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in a 2-1 loss to Minnesota on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was also caught stealing once in this one, making his 17-for-22 in steal attempts on the season. The 25-year-old is slashing .251/.315/.437 with 43 runs scored and 24 extra-base hits. He surpassed last season's total of 15 stolen bases and should have no problem beating his 17 homers as well.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a homer, a steal, two runs and three RBI in Saturday's loss to Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
The homer, a three-run shot off Daniel Mengden in the first inning, was Anderson's 13th of the season, while the steal was his 15th of the year. He's on pace for 28 homers and 32 steals, giving him an outside shot at a 30-30 season if he can keep the pace up. Production in those categories has been enough to make Anderson a fairly valuable shortstop despite a relatively low .239 batting average.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and three runs scored in Friday's win over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson tagged starter Chris Bassitt for a double -- his ninth of the year -- and later slugged a solo homer off Yusmeiro Petit in the eighth inning. Anderson's 12 home runs are tied for sixth among MLB shortstops, but he only has 28 RBI on the season (which ties him for 14th at the position). The 25-year-old's power is a nice feature but it comes with a 25 percent strikeout rate, which helps explain the .235 batting average and .299 on-base percentage.

Anderson is not in the starting lineup against Cleveland on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will receive a breather following four straight hitless outings, going 0-for-11 with seven strikeouts dating back to Sunday's series finale in Boston. In his place, Jose Rondon will start at shortstop and bat second in the order.

Anderson went 0-for-2 with two walks, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson worked a bases-loaded walk against Rick Porcello in the third inning, then alertly came around from second base on a 3-1 putout on which Porcello stumbled after taking the throw from Mitch Moreland. This was Anderson's fourth multi-walk game of the season, three more than the free-swinging shortstop had during his first two seasons in the majors. He has now walked 20 times over 243 plate appearances (8.3 BB%) after accepting just 13 free passes over 606 plate appearances (2.2 BB%) in 2017.

Anderson is not in the lineup against Minnesota on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwent of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will head to the bench for the series finale as Jose Rondon picks up a start at shortstop. Over the past 12 games, Anderson is hitting .295 with a 1.036 OPS and 13 RBI.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-3 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson lashed a two-run triple in the sixth inning to break a tie game. It was the fourth straight game with a hit for Anderson, who has batted .344 (11-for-32) with seven extra-base hits (four home runs), 11 RBI and nine runs scored over the last nine games since his season average bottomed out at .230. There was a report earlier in the week about a thumb injury, but that's had more effect on him as a fielder than as a hitter.
