Tim Anderson Sitting Against Tigers On Monday
3 years agoChicago 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.
