Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (knee), outfielders Andrew Benintendi (elbow) and Luis Robert Jr. (hamstring) and infielder Hanser Alberto (quadriceps) could all return to the team by Tuesday. Anderson is the biggest name on this list. He has been out just under three weeks with a knee sprain, but he began a minor-league rehab assignment and is expected back early next week. Anderson's return as the regular shortstop will push Elvis Andrus back to second base and Lenyn Sosa to the bench. Benintendi is missing his second straight game on Sunday after getting hit by a pitch in the elbow on Friday. X-rays came back negative, though, and the 28-year-old is considered day-to-day. The White Sox have an off day on Monday.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (knee) will commence a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte over the weekend. Anderson sustained a left knee sprain, which caused him to miss two weeks of play. He will play a few games in Charlotte to ensure that he is prepared to return to the White Sox lineup before their home series against the Minnesota Twins starting on Tuesday. On the season, the 29-year-old is hitting .298/.327/.404 with five stolen bases and a 102 OPS+. He only played in 11 games over that span and has been replaced by Elvis Andrus at shortstop. Once Anderson returns, with the assumption that his bat stays hot, the White Sox are hoping to rejuvenate their morbid offense.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (knee) ran the bases Monday and Tuesday and is on track to begin a rehab assignment soon. The two-time All-Star has been on the injured list since early April after he sprained his knee during a play on defense. Before Anderson was sidelined, he was slashing .298/.327/.404 with nine runs, four RBI, five steals, and no homers. Fantasy managers will still have to wait a couple of weeks for his return, as he'll look to get 10 to 14 at-bats in the minors, according to manager Pedro Grifol. But when Anderson's back, he'll once again be a top batting average contributor with a ton of run and stolen base potential.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (knee) was able to take batting practice ahead of Saturday's contest against the Tampa Bay Rays. Anderson has been sidelined since early April due to a left knee sprain. The organization said Anderson is set to miss two-to-four weeks from the injury. It appears that he is progressing well in his recovery, but is still a few weeks away from a return. Fantasy managers should expect Anderson to return in early or mid-May.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (knee), who was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a sprained left knee, will miss two to four weeks, according to the team. In a corresponding move, infielder Lenyn Sosa was called up from the minors, and he could see regular playing time at second base, with Elvis Andrus likely to move over to the 6 with Anderson out. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Anderson can return on the short end of a two- to four-week timetable. The 29-year-old is one of the best shortstops in the game and has hit .298 (14-for-47) with five doubles, four RBI and five stolen bases in 11 games this year. Sosa is worth a look in deep-mixed and AL-only leagues in the short term.

The Chicago White Sox are placing shortstop Tim Anderson (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a sprained left knee. They recalled infielder Lenyn Sosa from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Anderson left Monday's game early against the Minnesota Twins with left knee soreness, but it turned out to be more than just soreness. He's one of the best shortstops in the game, so fantasy managers will need to keep him stashed in all formats. The 29-year-old was off to a good start, too, hitting .298 (14-for-47) with five doubles, four RBI, nine runs scored and five stolen bases in his first 11 games. Sosa has hit very well in the minors and will be worth a look as a deep-league pickup if he secures everyday playing time at the 6 in Chicago while Anderson is on the shelf.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (knee) exited Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins early with left knee soreness. Anderson appeared to hurt his knee in a rundown when he attempted to tag out Matt Walner as he ran toward third base. He is currently undergoing further evaluation and the team should provide an update on his status after the game is over. Elvis Andrus is taking over at shortstop the rest of the way.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson and third baseman Yoan Moncada (rib) are expected to return to the team's Cactus League lineup on Friday after playing for Team USA and Team Cuba, respectively, in the World Baseball Classic. Moncada collided with his teammate in the outfield in the semifinal game against Team USA on Sunday, but he avoided a concussion and will be fine for Opening Day on March 30. Chicago's left side of the infield will need to stay healthy all year so that the team can avoid another disappointing showing in 2023. Anderson is the much more consistent fantasy option and is one of the best all-around hitters in baseball at a premium position.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (groin) was hitting .356/.393/.503 at the end of May last year while swinging and missing less than ever despite remaining aggressive at the plate. But a groin injury interrupted his hot streak, and he was never able to get back on track. He was unable to re-establish his same leg load and the separation that made his swing so consistent before his injury. Anderson finished with an average over .300 for the fourth straight year, but he hit .249/.287/.290 after the injury. A finger injury ended his season for good in early August. To get back to where he was early in 2022, the 29-year-old worked on his hitting mechanics at Driveline this offseason. "I feel like it got me back to, really, my foundations," Anderson said. When healthy, Anderson is one of the best sources of a high average despite his low walk totals. There's some injury risk, but RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 10 fantasy SS.

The Chicago White Sox are planning to pick up shortstop Tim Anderson's $12.5 million team option for the 2023 season, as expected. Anderson had a frustrating season in 2022 due to injuries, as he played in only 79 games. However, he was still one of the best shortstops in the league when he was on the field, making his second straight All-Star team while slashing .301/.339/.395 with six home runs, 25 RBI, 50 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in 351 plate appearances. As long as the 29-year-old doesn't completely bomb next season, the White Sox will also likely exercise his $14 million team option for 2024. Anderson should head into spring training next year fully healthy, and he'll be one of the most appealing shortstop options in fantasy drafts.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (hand) has been shut down for the rest of the regular season with the team being eliminated from playoff contention, according to interim manager Miguel Cairo. Anderson had surgery in August to fix a sagittal-band tear in his left hand and he will end up missing the rest of a disappointing season for the Pale Hose in 2022. There's no reason for the team to bring the star shortstop back now that they won't make the postseason. Veteran Elvis Andrus will continue to serve as the team's primary shortstop the rest of the way. Anderson will finish his 2022 campaign with a .301/.339/.395 slash line, six home runs, 25 RBI, 50 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in 351 plate appearances over 79 games played.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (hand) followed up with a hand specialist and has been cleared to ramp up his baseball activities immediately. If he can avoid any setbacks after having left hand surgery on Aug. 6, Anderson could potentially return to the White Sox's starting lineup at some point next week. There's very little time for the 29-year-old to contribute the rest of the way for fantasy managers, but he should remain stashed everywhere. The two-time All-Star was hitting .301/.339/.395 with six home runs, 25 RBI, 50 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in 351 plate appearances over 79 games before his injury. The White Sox signed veteran Elvis Andrus to be their everyday shortstop with Anderson on the shelf.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (finger) is seeing a hand specialist on Tuesday. Anderson, who underwent surgery to repair a tear in the sagittal band of his left middle finger on August 11, has yet to begin playing catch or swinging a bat. The hope would be that the specialist on Tuesday would clear Anderson for both activities. There is still no timetable for his return but perhaps he can rejoin the surging White Sox in late September.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (hand) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The organization announced that Anderson will undergo surgery to repair the torn ligament in his left hand. The expectation is that Anderson is going to be sidelined for the next six weeks. A tough blow to the White Sox with Anderson hitting over .300 on the season with six homers and 12 stolen bases. Leury Garcia started at shortstop during their first game of a doubleheader on Tuesday. Possibly, he continues seeing more starts while Anderson is sidelined. However, it's unlikely any replacement is going to have the kind of value that Anderson offers the team.

According to a tweet from Bally Sports and Stadium's Russell Dorsey on Tuesday, Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (hand) reportedly "will be out 4-6 weeks with a torn ligament in his hand." Dorsey also noted in his tweet that "surgery is a possibility" for the shortstop. The shortstop is enjoying another strong season at the plate, hitting .301 with a .339 on-base percentage, six home runs, and 13 stolen bases in 351 plate appearances so far.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson's three-game suspension for making contact with an umpire last week has been reduced to two games, and he's expected to begin serving the suspension on Sunday against the Texas Rangers. He'll also miss Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals. Make sure to remove Anderson from your fantasy lineups on Sunday and Tuesday. In Anderson's absence from the lineup on Sunday, Leury Garcia will handle the 6 and bat eighth against Rangers right-hander Spencer Howard. Fantasy managers in DFS formats should be able to find better options than Garcia, who is batting just .209/.233/.272 with three long balls, 18 RBI, 31 runs scored and one stolen base in 254 at-bats in 2022.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has been suspended three games for making contact with an umpire during Friday night's game against the Oakland Athletics. The incident occurred after Anderson took exception to a strike call by home plate umpire Nick Mahrley in the seventh inning, after which Anderson was thrown out of the game but continued arguing, seemingly bumping into Mahrley. Anderson has appealed the suspension, so he will stay in the White Sox lineup until a decision is made. Keep an eye on Anderson and if his suspension is upheld, make sure you have a backup plan ready.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson will start on the bench for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians. Anderson is getting a normal day of rest, and fantasy managers should get him back for Game 2 of the double dip later in the day. He went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a strikeout to kick off the second half of the season on Friday, and Anderson is now hitting a cool .313/.353/.417 with six home runs, 24 RBI, 45 runs scored and 12 stolen bases in 278 at-bats this year as one of the better fantasy shortstops out there. Leury Garcia is starting at the 6 and hitting eighth against Guardians right-hander Triston McKenzie. Garcia, who is hitting just .205 with two home runs on the year in 229 at-bats, is a low-upside DFS target.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (groin) is scheduled to start a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, according to manager Tony La Russa. Anderson has been out since he suffered a right groin strain on May 30, but there's a chance he's back by next weekend if everything goes well on his rehab assignment. The 28-year-old should remain stashed in all fantasy formats and remains a must-star whenever he's playing. In 163 at-bats before his injury, Anderson was hitting a stellar .356/.393/.503 with an .896 OPS, five home runs, 19 RBI, 24 runs scored and eight stolen bases. Danny Mendick will continue to man the 6 in Chicago until Anderson returns from the injured list.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (groin) has started to run during his rehab work as he continues to recover from a strained groin, which he suffered on May 30. Beat writer Daryl Van Schouwen said that Anderson "ran at least one sprint of about 120 feet in the outfield just now, not at top speed but maybe 75-80 percent" prior to Sunday's contest against Tampa Bay. Van Schouwen also noted that while the sprint was encouraging, Anderson's lateral movement will be the key to his recovery. There is still no exact timetable for the star shortstop's return but he could be back later on in June, barring any setbacks.
