White Sox's Tim Anderson: Effective from leadoff spot
Rotowire
Anderson went 2-for-4 with a double, one RBI and one run scored Friday against the Tigers.
Anderson tallied a single and a double to reach base multiple times for the fourth time in his last seven games. In that span, he's maintained a .419 on-base percentage with six runs and three doubles. Anderson is still performing poorly overall this season with a .623 OPS, but he is locked in as the White Sox's leadoff hitter and should provide reliable contributions in runs scored and stolen bases.

Rotowire
Anderson went 4-for-5 with one RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 12-3 victory over Detroit.

However, the veteran is still hitting just .264 across 34 games to start the year, well below the baseline over .300 he established each of the past four years. Even worse, Anderson hasn't hit a home run this season and has a lower SLG (.300) than OBP (.304).

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Likely needs handful of rehab games
Rotowire
White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Tuesday that Anderson (knee) will likely need 10-to-15 at-bats during his eventual minor-league rehab stint, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Anderson is still with the White Sox in Toronto, so any rehab assignment wouldn't begin until Wednesday at the earliest. The shortstop should be able to accumulate those necessary at-bats in 3-to-5 games, so he'll likely be in store for a short rehab assignment, whenever it begins. Anderson looks to be tracking toward a return to the White Sox lineup in the early part of May.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Trending toward late April return
Rotowire
Anderson (knee) is tracking toward a return closer to the early side of his projected 2-4 week recovery timeline, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Anderson will be away from the White Sox for a couple days to tend to a personal matter, but his progress from a sprained left knee appears to be coming along well. April 27 is the beginning of a homestand for the White Sox and would be just after the two-week mark of Anderson's absence, so perhaps that's a date for the shortstop to shoot for.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Receiving treatment on knee
Rotowire
Anderson is currently receiving treatment on his knee, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Anderson was removed from Monday's victory over the Twins with left knee soreness in the sixth inning. The injury occurred when he made contact with a baserunner while attempting to bring in a poor throw on a rundown play. The shortstop is day-to-day for now, but there's a decent chance he'll sit Tuesday's game against Minnesota as a precaution at the very least.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Leaves early with knee soreness
Rotowire
Anderson was removed from Monday's game against the Twins due to left knee soreness in the sixth inning after suffering the injury while playing the field in the bottom of the fourth, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout prior to his departure.
Anderson suffered the injury in question when he was clipped by a baserunner while he attempted to corral an errant throw during a rundown play. Though he was able to get up on his own, walk off the injury and stay in the game for the final out of the inning and the entire fifth inning, Anderson remained on the bench when the White Sox returned to the field for the bottom of the sixth. Expect the White Sox to provide an update on Anderson's condition later Monday once he's further evaluated, but for now, he can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Tuesday's contest.
