Anderson jammed his thumb a few days ago, but has played through the injury, Phil Thompson of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury hasn't been a factor at the plate, where Anderson has five hits, including three home runs, over the last two games. In the field, however, he was tagged with three errors (two on the same play) Saturday. "It's feeling better," said Anderson, whose right hand was wrapped. "It's getting better every day so I can't complain."

Anderson went 2-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored Saturday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson got a hold of his ninth and 10th home runs of the season, one off left-hander Francisco Liriano and the other off righty Louis Coleman. He now has three home runs over his past two games. While his batting average and on-base percentage leave something to be desired, Anderson has turned in strong power and speed production as he now has 10 home runs and 11 stolen bases on the season.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
It's his first homer in 13 games, giving Anderson eight on the season to go along with his .240/.301/.415 slash line. The 24-year-old has had a tough May, hitting only .167 (11-for-66) with 20 strikeouts coming into Friday, but this performance might be a sign he's about to break out of it.

Anderson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will head to the bench for just the second time all season after starting five straight games and going just 3-for-18 (.167) over that stretch. Jose Rondon will start at shortstop and hit eighth in his stead.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson, who opened the year with 11 attempted steals (10 successful) over the first 30 games, had gone 12 games without an attempt before stealing his 11th on Sunday. With 11 steals over 43 games, Anderson is well on his way to surpass the career-high 15 he set in 2017.

Anderson will not be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh, Andy Masur of WGN Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will receive a rare day off for the first time this season as the White Sox are in the early stages of a 16-day stretch without a scheduled off day. In his place, Yolmer Sanchez will start at shortstop and Matt Davidson will man third base. Over 38 games this season, Anderson is hitting .239 with a .729 OPS, to go along with seven home runs, 11 RBI and 10 stolen bases.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The homer was Anderson's seventh in 34 games, putting him on pace reach 20-plus homers. Unfortunately, it was just the second homer occurring with men on base, pushing his RBI total to 11. Anderson's spot on Chicago's unproductive the lower third of the order doesn't lend itself to many RBI opportunities.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a double, two solo homers and an additional run scored in Saturday's loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been in a bit of a rough patch lately, with just one hit in his last 18 at-bats heading into Saturday, but his big performance will hopefully get him going again. He's now hitting .261/.307/.462 with six homers and 10 stolen bases through 31 games this season.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson led off the contest with his fourth home run of the season and first in 21 games. The shortstop is hitting .278 with a .327 on-base percentage through 25 games, big improvements on his 2017 season when he was at .198 and .227 after 25 games.

Anderson batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a double in Friday's 7-4 extra-inning win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Yoan Moncada is the primary leadoff bat for the White Sox, but he's replaced atop the order the last three times when facing a left-handed starter, as was the case Friday against Kansas City's Danny Duffy. This was the third time Anderson's batted leadoff this season. He was the team's primary leadoff hitter to start the 2017 season, but his free-swinging ways eventually led to a drop to the seven-hole, where he's been most often deployed this season. He's been a more patient hitter in 2018, striking out less frequently while taking an occasional walk along the way. He has seven free passes through 23 games after walking 13 times over 146 games in 2017.
