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.

Anderson isn't in the White Sox's lineup Sunday against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is slashing just .188/.278/.219 since the beginning of August, so he'll get a day off for Sunday's series finale. Elvis Andrus will shift to shortstop in Anderson's absence, allowing Zach Remillard to start at second base and bat ninth.

Anderson (forearm) will bat leadoff and start at shortstop in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
After he was hit by a pitch in the left forearm in Monday's 5-1 win, Anderson ended up sitting out Tuesday's 7-1 loss. The shortstop didn't sustain any broken bones and was fortunate to escape with a bruise to the forearm, but the day off was apparently all he needed to overcome the issue. Anderson will slot back in atop the lineup for the series finale, but he could still have some more time off coming soon. After throwing punches at Cleveland's Jose Ramirez this past Saturday, Anderson was handed a six-game suspension Monday and is currently appealing the ban. It's unclear when his appeal will be heard.

Anderson was removed from Monday's game against the Yankees due to a bruised left forearm. He's considered day-to-day after X-rays came back negative.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was hit by a pitch in the third inning and managed to remain in the game for his next at-bat, but he was ultimately pulled in the eighth. The White Sox figure to re-evaluate the shortstop Tuesday to determine his availability going forward. Anderson is also facing a suspension for his role in a fight with Cleveland's Jose Ramirez on Saturday, which is currently under appeal.

Anderson will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Yankees while he appeals the six-game suspension he received for his role in an on-field brawl with the Guardians on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was one of three players suspended by Major League Baseball for his involvement in the brawl, with Cleveland players Jose Ramirez (three games) and Emmanuel Clase (one game) also drawing bans. Anderson and Ramirez both exchanged punches in the brawl, but Anderson's stiffer punishment is likely a result of the league office determining that he instigated the benches-clearing melee. Anderson is without a clear timeline to have his appeal heard, and he could elect to drop the appeal at any point and begin serving the suspension. Until the matter is resolved one way or the other, Anderson looks like he'll continue to serve as Chicago's everyday shortstop.

Anderson was suspended six games Monday for his role in Saturday's brawl between the White Sox and Guardians, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson ended up on the wrong side of his tussle with Cleveland's Jose Ramirez, but having essentially started the melee, he wound up with a suspension twice as long as his counterpart. Anderson is appealing the suspension, so it remains to be seen exactly how much time he will miss. He will be eligible to continue playing until a final decision is announced.
