Paul Sullivan: The Chicago White Sox need Elvis Andrus at shortstop — even when Tim Anderson returns

Elvis Andrus always knew Tim Anderson would develop into an All-Star shortstop.

But Andrus never envisioned being Anderson’s teammate — let alone playing so well at short that Anderson’s absence from the Chicago White Sox lineup has been minimized.

Now that Anderson is ramping back from surgery to repair a sagittal band tear on the middle finger of his left hand and possibly returning next week, the question of whether to keep Andrus at short looms large down the stretch.
