Anderson is not in the White Sox's lineup Sunday versus the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was omitted from the lineup for the second time in the week. However, when he was on the bench Sept 12, it was the second game of a doubleheader. Elvis Andrus will start at short and bat leadoff in the 30-year-old's place.

Anderson (neck) is starting at shortstop and batting in the leadoff spot Friday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Neck stiffness caused Anderson to be a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup, but the issue seems to have subsided after an extra day of rest. The 30-year-old shortstop is 4-for-18 with three runs scored since the start of September.

Anderson was scratched from the lineup Wednesday versus the Royals due to neck stiffness, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elvis Andrus will replace him at both shortstop and leadoff as the White Sox wrap up their three-game series against Kansas City. Anderson also battled some neck discomfort in mid-August but it only cost him two games and can maybe utilize Thursday's scheduled team off day to avoid another multi-game absence.

Anderson went 1-for-6 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has started eight games since returning from suspension, and he has struck out a 39.5 percent clip in that span. Though he hasn't homered, he has balanced his lack of contact with five extra-base hits and has also scored five runs. It remains a disappointing campaign for Anderson, though as the White Sox's leadoff hitter, he could be a source of stolen bases and runs scored across the final month of the season.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson returned from a five-game suspension and immediately slotted back into the leadoff spot. His power production remains disappointing, though he's maintained a .287 batting average with 10 runs scored, nine RBI and two stolen bases across 27 contests since the All-Star break.

Anderson (suspension) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Wednesday against the Mariners after being reinstated from the restricted list, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson initially received a six-game suspension for his involvement in an Aug. 5 brawl with the Guardians, but the ban was later reduced to five games last Thursday following an appeal. After sitting out each of the last five games, Anderson is back in action and should resume duties as Chicago's everyday shortstop. Elvis Andrus had been serving as the White Sox's primary option at shortstop while Anderson was out but should now compete with Lenyn Sosa for playing time at second base.

Anderson's suspension was reduced to five games Thursday, and he will begin serving the ban Friday in Colorado, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the suspension for participating in the Aug. 5 brawl with the Guardians going into effect Friday, the shortstop will miss the series in Colorado and the first two games in Seattle early next week. He will return from the suspension Aug. 23, the rubber match of the series against the Mariners. Anderson's suspension was reduced from six games after he settled with the league before an appeal hearing was needed.

Anderson's (neck) appeal for his six-game suspension is scheduled to be heard Thursday, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Unless Anderson drops his appeal or agrees to a settlement Wednesday, he'll be eligible to play in the White Sox's series finale with the Cubs, but he appears set to miss time when the South Siders open their three-game series in Colorado on Friday. Anderson has already missed Chicago's last two games, with his first absence being for rest purposes and the second one being the result of a stiff neck. For whatever length of time Anderson misses due to the injury or suspension, Elvis Andrus is expected to step in as Chicago's primary shortstop.

Anderson was scratched from the White Sox's lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to neck stiffness, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson had previously missed two games last week due to a bruised forearm, and he will now sit out Tuesday's contest as a result of another injury. Elvis Andrus will take over at shortstop, allowing Zach Remillard to enter the lineup at second base. Anderson should be considered day-to-day going forward.
