Tim Anderson News
Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has been suspended for three regular season games by the MLB. The decision has been made in response to Anderson making contact with an umpire in Monday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Anderson has elected to appeal the suspension, so he is still eligible to play while his appeal is being processed. He's in the starting lineup and leading off in Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The suspension has no bearing on the post-season so if the appeal takes more than a few days and Anderson loses it, he will serve some or all of the suspension next season.
Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is absent from the starting lineup for Monday's game against Matt Manning and the Detroit Tigers. Leury Garcia is getting the start at shortstop for the game while Luis Robert is bumping up to the leadoff spot. Anderson has been seeing a few days off per week since returning from the injured list in mid-September. He missed about two weeks due to a hamstring injury to kick off the month. The team wants to manage his workload while looking ahead to the postseason. Anderson's power numbers have been down a bit this year, but he's been great otherwise. Over 118 games, he's slashing .302/.331/.460 with 16 home runs, 18 stolen bases, 58 RBI and 91 runs.
Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson isn't starting on Saturday against the Texas Rangers and right-hander Spencer Howard. Anderson is batting .300 with a .329 on-base percentage, 14 home runs, and 17 stolen bases in 498 plate appearances this season. Leury Garcia is hitting seventh and starting in place of Anderson at shortstop on Saturday. The 30-year-old is hitting .262 with a .333 on-base percentage, five home runs, and six stolen bases in 415 plate appearances this season.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson proved that his AL-leading .335 batting average from 2019 was no fluke. He followed with a .322 average backed by a .293 xBA that ranked in the top 10% for a second straight year. Unfortunately, Anderson didn't run as frequently in 2020, stealing five bases in seven attempts. His sprint speed remains top-notch so it was simply a matter of the Sox running less while relying on their numerous power bats to manufacture runs via the long ball. Only six teams attempts fewer stolen bases. Whether new (old) skipper Tony La Russa and his old school mentality will lead to more running remains to be seen. In his last several seasons managing St. Louis, his tendency to steal 2nd base hovered around 6% which was barely above Rich Renteria's 5% mark. Anderson is sure to deliver a high average and run totals but it's unlikely he will return 20 steals over a full season. With several other shortstops able to provide higher power totals, Anderson doesn't quite rank in the top eight at the position. He is a terrific fallback option, however, for those who don't prioritize shortstop early. His early ADP of 41 overall is overly optimistic, so it's advisable to wait a bit longer.
