Tim Anderson

Tim Anderson will have his $12.5 million option exercised by the Chicago White Sox.

Fantasy Impact

Anderson spent most of the 2022 season hampered by injuries for White Sox club that finished as a major disappointment. The second baseman was a dynamic catalyst at the top of the lineup when healthy and will look to return to his previous mostly healthy production at the plate. Anderson finished 2022 hitting .301 with six home runs, 13 stolen bases, and 25 runs batted in and will surely be a popular bounce-back candidate ahead of drafts.

Tim Anderson has started to swing a bit and take some ground balls.

Fantasy Impact

The White Sox are still unsure when Anderson will be able to return. He wants to feel at full health when he makes his return. Anderson has been sidelined since the first week of August.

Tim Anderson is scheduled to see a hand specialist Tuesday. The White Sox will determine when or if he can return this season after the visit.

Fantasy Impact

Anderson has been out of action since August 9th with a injury to his left middle finger. The 29-year-old is slashing .301/.339/.395 with six home runs, 25 runs batted in, and 13 stolen bases this season. The White Sox have been lucky to get solid play from Elvis Andrus which will allow them to make sure they do not rush Anderson back.

Tim Anderson will be out 4-6 weeks with a torn ligament in his hand, and surgery is reportedly still a possibility as well.

Fantasy Impact

This injury is a huge blow for Anderson's fantasy owners, as he likely won't return until late September, making him a non-factor for the majority, if not all of the rest of the fantasy season. The shortstop has hit .301 with six homers and 25 RBIs in 79 games this season, as he has struggled to stay on the field.

Tim Anderson has had his suspension reduced to two games and he will begin serving it on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Anderson was originally suspended for three games after making contact with an umpire, so he got it reduced by one game. He'll miss the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader next week against the Royals, but should be good to go for the nightcap. He's in a significant slump at the moment, so having a few days off probably isn't the worst thing.
