The shortstop played 10 years (2016-25), the first eight of which he spent with the Chicago White Sox. Anderson won the 2019 AL batting title and a 2020 Silver Slugger in addition to receiving back-to-back All-Star selections in 2021 and 2022.
"I still love the game," Anderson said Monday, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. "It just brought too much pain to me, so going back to play is not for me, not where I'm at right now."
The 33-year-old added: "I fought to try to get back for the last two or three years. I trained. I just couldn't get the body to operate where it used to. ... Overall, I'm happy. I'm happy in real life, the real world."
Anderson logged a combined 96 games as a member of the Miami Marlins and Los Angeles Angels in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
The White Sox will honor Anderson with a pregame ceremony Sept. 17, the club announced.
Anderson ends his career with a .276/.307/.407 slash line with 98 homers, 350 RBIs, and 122 stolen bases over 991 regular-season games.
