Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has been suspended six games by Major League Baseball for his part in Saturday night's brawl with the Cleveland Guardians and third baseman Jose Ramirez, according to sources. Anderson is starting on Monday against the New York Yankees while appealing his suspension, so he won't have to sit out just yet after taking a day off on Sunday in the series finale against Cleveland. The 30-year-old instigated the fight with Ramirez on Saturday that led to him being dropped by a right hook from Ramirez. Fantasy managers need to plan for an eventual absence for Anderson this week. It's been a tough season for Anderson all around, as he has just one home run and 19 RBI while hitting .244 (86-for-353) with 11 steals and 38 runs scored.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson had the day off on Sunday, but he's likely facing a multi-game suspension from the league for his fight with Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez on Saturday night. MLB didn't announce any discipline for the players on Sunday, but the teams expect to hear from the league on Monday and they are bracing for the players to miss an extended period. Ramirez and Anderson threw punches on Saturday at second base in the sixth inning, with Anderson getting knocked to the ground by a right hook from Ramirez that landed on Anderson's jaw. In addition to Anderson having an extremely disappointing 2023 season, fantasy managers now need to prepare for him missing extended time due to suspension.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Cleveland Guardians after his brawl with Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez on Saturday evening. After Ramirez slid into second base in the seventh inning on Saturday, J-Ram and Anderson got into a boxing match that ended with Anderson on the dirt after taking a right hook to the jaw from Ramirez. Anderson went 1-for-3 with a double and a strikeout before being ejected from the contest. This is just the latest in an extremely disappointing season for the 30-year-old, who is hitting .244 (86-for-353) with one home run, 19 RBI, 11 steals and 38 runs scored in 353 at-bats. Expect an upcoming suspension for Anderson. Elvis Andrus is at the 6 and batting leadoff on Sunday against Guardians right-hander Xzavion Curry.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians. At long last, Anderson's 96-game homerless odyssey encompassing 419 plate appearances reaches a merciful end. The 30-year-old had improbably not gone deep since July 15, 2022 before finally running into one off a Logan Allen fastball in the first inning of Saturday's outing. Anderson would add on a few more singles for good measure. The two-time All-Star's bat is finally awakening from the doldrums it sat in for the majority of the year as one of fantasy's biggest 2023 busts. Anderson is slashing .351/.413/.439 with one homer, six RBI, and one stolen base through 57 at-bats post-All-Star break. His bat finally triggers on as the trade deadline approaches for the selling White Sox, who have already dealt away Lucas Giolito and Lance Lynn.

The Miami Marlins are looking at Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson as they look to upgrade their offense in order to keep up in the ultra-competitive National League East. Anderson has finally gotten hot in the second half, but he still ranks last in OPS among all qualified hitters in 2023. However, his approach at the plate has been much better after the All-Star break and he's using the whole field again, which is when he's at his best. The Marlins rank 25th in OPS at shortstop, and Anderson is a more proven commodity than anyone the Fish currently have at the position. A change of scenery could do the 30-year-old well. He's currently slashing .245/.285/.285 with a .571 OPS, no home runs, 18 RBI, 10 stolen bases and 36 runs scored in 319 at-bats.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is back at the 6 and is hitting second on Monday in the series opener against the Los Angeles Angels and left-hander Reid Detmers.

Nothing has really gone right for Anderson in 2023 to this point, as he's hitting an uncharacteristic .241 (52-for-216) with nine doubles, 11 RBI, eight stolen bases and 21 runs scored. The 30-year-old two-time All-Star is still searching for his first home run of the season, so he's been an absolute fantasy bust this year. Anderson has only two knocks in his last 30 at-bats over nine games.

Anderson recently missed five games earlier this week with a shoulder injury, and when he returned on Friday and Saturday, the White Sox had him playing second base. It looks like the 30-year-old is just getting a day of rest on Sunday, so fantasy managers should expect him back in the lineup on Monday for the series opener on the road against the Los Angeles Angels. Anderson continues to disappoint in 2023. He has yet to homer and has two hits in his last 30 at-bats over his last nine games to drop his season average to .241. Elvis Andrus is manning the 6 on Sunday and is hitting eighth against Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford.

Updating a previous report, Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) was originally expected to miss his fifth straight game on Friday. However, it appears Anderson is a late addition to the lineup here. The 30-year-old has been dealing with a banged up shoulder, but appears to be feeling good enough to play against the Boston Red Sox on Friday. He'll cover second base and bat second versus right-hander Brayan Bello. Fantasy managers should make sure to adjust their lineups with Anderson returning on Friday.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) is still absent from the starting lineup on Friday against the visiting Boston Red Sox. Anderson last started a game on June 17 before exiting early with a right-shoulder injury. He hasn't started since then, although he made a pinch-hitting appearance on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should continue to consider him day-to-day, but if his absence extends much longer, the White Sox may have to put him on the injured list.

Andrus had a big game on Tuesday in the win over Texas, going 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored. Meanwhile, Anderson's disappointing 2023 campaign continues.

Anderson left Saturday's contest early with shoulder soreness but it looks the White Sox are just hoping a day off will cure what ails him.

Elvis Andrus is starting at shortstop and batting ninth against Bryce Miller and the M's.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) exited during the fourth inning of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners with shoulder soreness. He went 0-for-1 with a walk before leaving. According to White Sox manager Pedro Grifol, Anderson could return Sunday. "Tim, his shoulder got a little sore, I think he did it pregame out there stretching, throwing, and he toughed it out for three innings," said Grifol. "It's cold out here. He toughed it out, and the evaluations were good. He's day to day, and we'll see how he wakes up tomorrow." Anderson is considered day-to-day. Zach Remillard replaced Anderson on Saturday and went 3-for-3 with two RBI in Saturday's win. Remillard would see an uptick in at-bats if Anderson were to miss any additional time.

It looks to be a normal day of rest for Anderson in the series finale against the Fish. The 29-year-old shortstop is still searching for his first home run of the 2023 season. He's gone 8-for-30 (.267) with two doubles, an RBI and a stolen base in seven games so far in the month of June. The two-time All-Star just hasn't been able to get it going yet at the plate, and overall he's hitting a disappointing .263 (50-for-190) with 10 RBI, 21 runs scored, seven stolen bases and a .300 on-base percentage. With Anderson resting on Sunday, Elvis Andrus is starting at the 6 and batting eighth in the order against Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is in the starting lineup for the rubber game of the series against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. The 29-year-old shortstop has struggled in this series against the Halos. Anderson is batting .261 on the season but is 1-for-8 in the last two games against the Angels. He will hope to bounce back in Wednesday's game, as a series win against the Angels could boost his team's morale. Anderson remains a must-start, but to this point in the season through 38 games, he has yet to homer and has a weak .297 on-base percentage for his standards.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 29-year-old infielder. Anderson was banged up to begin the season, but appears to be getting back into a groove. Elvis Andrus will cover shortstop while Lenyn Sosa plays second base against right-hander Jordan Lyles on Tuesday. The expectation is that Anderson will return to the lineup after his rest day here.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is not in the starting lineup versus right-hander Pablo Lopez and the Minnesota Twins on Thursday.

He's a must-start for fantasy managers anytime he's on the field. Elvis Andrus is starting at short and hitting seventh, while Lenyn Sosa is at second base and batting eighth against Lopez on Thursday.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson returned from the injured list on Tuesday to go 0-for-4 at the plate with a walk and a strikeout out of the leadoff spot in the team's 3-2 extra-inning win over the visiting Minnesota Twins. Anderson had been out since April 10 due to a knee injury, but he's now back as one of the most dynamic shortstops in the game. The 29-year-old has only played in 12 games in 2023 because of his knee injury, and he's gone 14-for-51 (.275) with five doubles, four RBI, five stolen bases and nine runs scored in 54 plate appearances.

The Chicago White Sox will activate shortstop Tim Anderson (knee) and infielder Hanser Alberto (quadriceps) from the injured list on Tuesday, with outfielder Billy Hamilton also getting called up from Triple-A Charlotte. Infielder Lenyn Sosa will be optioned to Charlotte after hitting .151/.167/.245 in 16 games. Anderson's return will move Elvis Andrus back to second base. Obviously, fantasy managers will want to get Anderson back in their starting lineups immediately, as he is one of the best all-around shortstops in the game. Hamilton is a career .239/.292/.326 hitter with 324 stolen bases, but he had gone just 9-for-48 (.188) with three steals in 11 games on the farm. Hamilton will be a bench option for the Sox with plus speed for those desperate in AL-only leagues.
