On bench Sunday Anderson is not in Sunday's lineup against the Padres.

Impact Elvis Andrus gets the nod at shortstop with Zach Remillard getting a start at the keystone. The White Sox have a $12.5 million club option on Anderson for next season, but considering he was below replacement level (-0.6 fWAR) in 123 games this year, he will likely hit the open market.

On bench Wednesday Anderson is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Anderson is in the midst of a slump, having gone 1-for-12 in his last three games. The shortstop did not play Sunday after going 0-for-8 in the prior two games. Elvis Andrus will shift to shortstop while Zach Remillard receives a start at second base.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of Sunday's lineup Anderson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Boston.

Impact Anderson is 0-for-8 with four strikeouts over the past two games and will head to the bench Sunday after making five consecutive starts. Elvis Andrus will shift to shortstop while Zach Remillard receives a start at second base.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Collects four hits Anderson went 4-for-5 with a run scored Monday against the Nationals.

Impact Anderson is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak, with his last two performances being multi-hit efforts. Despite a down year, he is closing the season well as he's maintained a .333 average with eight runs scored and a stolen bases across 16 games in September. However, as has been the case, he's shown very little ability to hit for power as he has only two extra-base hits -- both doubles -- in that same 16-game span.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Anderson is not in the White Sox's lineup Sunday versus the Twins.

Impact Anderson was omitted from the lineup for the second time in the week. Though, 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.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Idle for nightcap Anderson isn't in the White Sox's lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.comreports.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in lineup Anderson is starting at shortstop and batting in the leadoff spot Friday against the Tigers.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with stiff neck Anderson was scratched from the lineup Wednesday versus the Royals due to neck stiffness, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hitting for extra bases Anderson went 1-for-6 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Orioles.

Impact 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.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strong performance in return Anderson went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Mariners.

Impact 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.

Impact Anderson will start at shortstop and bat leadoff versus the Cubs and right-hander Javier Assad after being scratched Tuesday due to neck stiffness. He also missed some time last week because of a forearm bruise, and the appeal on his pending six-game suspension is scheduled to be heard Thursday, so he'll soon be in for another extended absence.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suspension decision coming Thursday Anderson's (neck) appeal for his six-game suspension is scheduled to be heard Thursday, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.
