ANAHEIM — Tim Anderson is battling through a crazy-bad slump at the plate, and manager Pedro Grifol waits patiently for him to break out, confident it will happen at any moment, enough so that he kept Anderson in the second spot in his lineup for the White Sox’ series finale against the Angels Thursday afternoon.
Grifol dropped Anderson from his customary leadoff spot on June 17 in Seattle, bumping Andrew Benintendi from second to first, where Benintendi is batting .319/.375/.394 in 23 games.
