MINNEAPOLIS — White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has a sore proper wrist and was a late scratch from the group’s sport in opposition to the Twins Saturday afternoon.
Jose Rondon will take Anderson’s place within the lineup, batting sixth. Rondon pinch-hit for Tim Anderson within the eighth inning final evening and stayed within the sport. On Anderson’s first at-bat in opposition to right-hander Jose Berrios, he was struck as he fouled off an 0-1 pitch as he turned away on a swing.
“He was just sore,” supervisor Rick Renterai mentioned. “He tried to hit [Saturday morning] and said his said his wrist was too sore from the blow. So we decided to scratch him. He’ll get treated up and we’ll try to get him in the lineup as soon as possible, hopefully ease it enough so he’s available to pinch hit or something. Do everything to get him on the field as soon as possible.”
Anderson additionally has a small laceration, Renteria mentioned.
