Anderson went 2-for-4 and was caught stealing while batting leadoff in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was moved up for the day with the left-handed Marco Gonzales on the bump for Seattle. With both hits coming in three at-bats against Gonzales, Anderson's average against lefties improved to .381 (8-for-21). The stolen base try was his ninth attempt of the season and first time caught, putting him well ahead of the pace he established last year, his first full season in the majors.

Anderson is batting first against the Mariners on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Yoan Moncada is Chicago's typical leadoff hitter, but with lefty Marco Gonzales toeing the rubber for Seattle, Anderson will take a turn atop the order. The speedy shortstop has mashed southpaws in his career, hitting .323 with a .470 slugging percentage over the past three seasons.

Anderson went 1-for-3 and stole a base in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's successfully pilfered all five bases he's attempted to steal through the first 10 games. By comparison, he didn't register his fifth steal in 2017 until June 8, his 51st game. In addition to his increased larceny, Anderson's been a bit more patient at the plate to start the season. He's walked four times in 33 plate appearances (12.1 percent), compared to 13 free passes in all of 2017.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base, and a run scored in Thursday's 9-7 loss to the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson stole his fourth bag (four attempts) of the season after he opened the second inning with a single, then moved to third on a groundout before scoring on Adam Engel's sacrifice fly. It was the second such instance over the first week that Anderson's legs led directly to a run. He vowed to run more in 2018 and he's followed through. What would enhance his base-stealing and run-scoring opportunities is if the hitter with a career OBP of .291 can develop the patience to take more walks. Thursday's two-walk game was just the second of his career.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a home run, three runs scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 14-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has been a completely different player this season after a near season-long struggle in 2017. He lost a close friend prior to the start of last season, which is something that hung with him. But the shortstop has put that tragedy behind him, and it's showing up in the box scores. Anderson's hitting .375 (6-for-16) with three home runs, four RBI, six runs and three stolen bases.

Anderson went 1-for-4 and had a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 comeback win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson promised he'd be swiping more bags in 2018 than he did last season. While his total of 15 steals last year seems respectable, he had just six through the end of August. The 24-year-old shortstop, who hit 17 home runs last season and bopped two on Opening Day this year, should develop more power as he matures. Along with an increased dedication to steals, we could be looking at a 20-20 player in 2018.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with two home runs in Thursday's win over the Royals, adding three runs and three RBI.

EDGE Analysis

It took just one game for Anderson to surpass his home run total from spring training as he turned in the first multi-home run game of his career. He joined teammate Matt Davidson in the power surge Thursday with Davidson chipping in three long balls of his own. Beyond the impressive results Thursday, it's particularly encouraging that Anderson was able to belt those home runs after dealing with some shoulder issues early in the week. Anderson answered any questions about his health on Opening Day and figures to remain in the lineup Saturday when the White Sox face Ian Kennedy and the Royals.

Anderson (shoulder) will hit seventh and play shortstop for Thursday's season opener against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson had been dealing with minor shoulder soreness during the past couple days, but the shortstop doesn't appear to be facing any limitations heading into the beginning of the regular season. In 2017, he slashed .257/.276/.402 with 17 home runs, 56 RBI and 15 stolen bases over 146 appearances.

Anderson (shoulder) has been replaced by Tyler Saladino in the lineup for Monday's exhibition game against the Charlotte Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was originally scratched Sunday with minor shoulder soreness. He was listed in Monday's lineup but has been scratched again, presumably with the same shoulder issue. The reports on Sunday indicated that his availability for Opening Day wasn't likely to be threatened. It's possible he's had a setback, but this could just be the team being careful and delaying his return by one more day.

Anderson (shoulder) is in the lineup for Monday's exhibition game against the Charlotte Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was scratched from Sunday's game with minor shoulder soreness, but the issue appears to be very minor as he's already back in the lineup. He should be good to go by Opening Day, barring any setbacks.
