TORONTO – Tim Anderson wasn’t his usual self – a right groin strain will do that to you – but the White Sox’ All-Star shortstop was in his usual upbeat mood in the visitors clubhouse and on the field at Rogers Centre before the Sox played the Blue Jays Wednesday.

“I’m just being the biggest cheerleader there is, you know, just cheering them on and bringing my energy to the dugout and staying positive,” Anderson said.
