Tim Anderson News
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.

For the second time in three years, Tim Anderson just fell short of a 20/20 season, mainly due to only playing 123 games. In 2019, Anderson had 18 homers and 17 steals, while in 2021, he had 17 homers and 18 steals. Anderson also managed just 49 games in 2020 so has played just 77% of games over the last three seasons, otherwise, he would likely be going earlier than he is in drafts currently (~36 ADP). In OBP leagues, Anderson is significantly less appealing given his career 3.5% BB. His 4.0% BB% in 2021 was in the first percentile. But the lack of walks and good health still hasn't stopped Anderson from being a fantasy asset and his .322 batting average since 2019 is the best in baseball among qualified hitters. Anderson's aggressive approach at the plate hasn't been a hindrance and his 81.9% Z-Swing% in 2021 was a career-high (third among hitters with 550+ plate appearances). He also had a career-high 94 runs in 2021 as the White Sox offense is the best it's been for years so there's no reason to believe he won't continue to be an excellent source of runs. All four of Anderson's IL stints over the last three years have been leg injuries so there is genuine concern about his long-term prospects for staying healthy but if he does, we should see his first 20/20 season since 2018.
