Shortstop Tim Anderson is not in the starting lineup for a third straight game as the Chicago White Sox begin a four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday at Rogers Centre.
Anderson missed the final two games of the weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays, both of which the Sox lost. Before Sunday’s game, manager Tony La Russa said Anderson’s “legs are still barking.”
The Sox are in a stretch of seven straight games on artificial surfaces, but La Russa said Monday that wasn’t a factor.
“He’s got soreness,” La Russa said.
