Anderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Anderson will hit the bench for the series finale in what appears to be a routine rest day, Major League Baseball has yet to announce any suspension for the shortstop, who was ejected in the sixth inning of Saturday's 7-4 win after exchanging punches with Cleveland third baseman Jose Ramirez. Expect MLB to rule in the coming days whether any players involved in the brawl will face a suspension, leaving Anderson's availability for the White Sox's upcoming six-game week in flux.

Anderson was ejected from Saturday's game against the Guardians for his actions in a brawl during the seventh inning.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson and Cleveland's Jose Ramirez exchanged blows after the latter slid into second base in the seventh frame, and neither was permitted to continue in the contest. MLB will review the matter, and suspensions could be in the cards.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is finally showing signs of life after a sluggish first half. The 30-year-old shortstop is slashing .338/.394/.415 in 16 games since the All-Star break, with eight multi-hit efforts and two steals during that stretch.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
He hadn't gone yard in over a calendar year, but Anderson ended the drought by driving a Logan Allen fastball deep to left field in the first inning. The shortstop appears to be on the trade block with the deadline approaching, so he's picked the right time to catch fire at the plate -- since the All-Star break, Anderson's slashing .351/.413/.439, a far cry from his .245/.286/.293 line on the season.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson opened the scoring when he stole home in the third inning, which came as part of a double steal that saw Luis Robert swipe second base. Over the last six games, Anderson's bat has come to life a bit -- he has four multi-hit efforts and three RBI in that span. The shortstop is up to 10 thefts on the year, his seventh straight full-length season with double-digit steals. He's added a lackluster .239/.279/.278 slash line with no home runs, 16 RBI, 33 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple, though his recent hitting suggests he may be turning things around in the second half.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI on Tuesday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has multiple hits in three of his last four starts and has maintained a .258 average across his last 62 at-bats. He has still yet to homer and has a particularly poor .041 ISO on the season, though it's encouraging to see him at least reaching base at a more consistent clip of late. Anderson consistently hits second in the order, so he could be a source of runs in the final months of the season.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base Sunday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson tallied his second multi-hit effort in his last four starts, though he's still hitting just .172 across his last 22 games. He's stolen only three bases and scored seven runs in that span, providing little fantasy appeal. Anderson has also still yet to go yard and has an abysmal .036 ISO across 263 plate appearances on the campaign.

Anderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old started the past two days at second base after missing five games with a shoulder injury, and he's back out of the starting nine Sunday. There's been no report that Anderson aggravated the injury, so it may just be an extra maintenance day amid a 2-for-30 slump. Elvis Andrus will receive another start at shortstop while Zach Remillard mans the keystone.

Anderson is starting at second base and hitting second Saturday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was absent from the lineup for five days while battling a shoulder injury. He returned Friday and played second base, and he'll do so again Saturday. Elvis Andrus will bat ninth and play Anderson's typical role at shortstop.

Anderson (shoulder) went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was out of action for a week with a sore shoulder, but he was able to return and play a full game at second base. While the soreness isn't fully gone, it appears he may be able to tough it out now. He's struggled of late, going just 2-for-26 (.077) over his last eight contests. It's unclear if Anderson will log enough time at second base to earn eligibility there in fantasy before returning to his usual position at shortstop.
