Tim Anderson News
Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (neck), who returned to Friday's lineup, went 0-for-4 with a run scored in the 6-0 win against the Detroit Tigers. The 30-year-old missed Wednesday's outing with neck stiffness, but he was back in his customary leadoff spot and shortstop position after Thursday's off day. Anderson remains a decent source of runs for the rest of the way, but this inferior version of the two-time All-Star is barely worth holding otherwise. Barring a miraculous turnaround, Anderson is set to go down arguably as fantasy's biggest hitting bust of 2023, batting .237 with one home run, 24 RBI, 47 runs scored, and 13 stolen bases in 430 at-bats. Anderson's 2024 ADP should certainly be interesting this winter.
Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (neck) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Kansas City Royals. The 30-year-old will sit this game out due to neck stiffness. That being said, fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about Anderson missing much time. He should be considered as day-to-day for the moment. Elvis Andrus will bat leadoff and cover shortstop versus right-hander Jordan Lyles on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Anderson sitting out.
Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson finished Wednesday's 10-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles by going 1-for-6 with a triple, two RBI, a run scored and two strikeouts. Anderson unbelievably still has only one home run in an extremely disappointing 2023 season, but he's gone 10-for-38 (.263) with four doubles, a triple, three RBI, 15 strikeouts, a stolen base and five runs scored in eight games since returning from his suspension. The 30-year-old has been one of the biggest busts of the year in fantasy after making the All-Star team each of the previous two seasons, but fantasy managers can only hope that he'll do some damage in the final month of the regular season. Anderson has struck out 102 times in 435 plate appearances in 2023.

Like most of his teammates, Anderson spent a lot of time on the IL in 2022, racking up just 351 Major League plate appearances. In that time, he hit .301/.339/.395 with six homers and 13 steals - business as normal for the White Sox lead-off man. Since we're past the days of the juiced baseball, Anderson no longer profiles as a 20+ homer guy. What you get from him is a bunch of runs, a high batting average, and a good supply of steals. He is still just 29 and certainly isn't losing his spot at the top of that order this year, and if the White Sox stay healthy they could be a solid offense even with the loss of run-producer extraordinaire Jose Abreu. He swings the bat a ton, which limits the OBP but also limits strikeouts and lets him use his foot speed when putting all those balls in play - it's long worked for Anderson and we shouldn't expect a change now. The depth of shortstop and the injuries last year have pushed Anderson even further down draft boards, which makes him a pretty great value target at the position around pick 90.
