White Sox SS Tim Anderson Has Suspension Reduced to Two Games

The Chicago shortstop initially was suspended three games for making contact with an umpire.

White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has had a three-game suspension reduced to two games on appeal, the team announced Sunday.

Anderson was suspended by MLB for contact with umpire Nick Mahrley during a game against the Athletics on July 29. Anderson will begin serving the suspension Sunday, as the White Sox complete a four-game series against the Rangers in Arlington, Texas. Chicago has an off day Monday and begins a four-game series against the Royals with a doubleheader in Kansas City on Tuesday.

Anderson is hitting .301/.339/.395 with six home runs and 25 RBIs in 79 games this season, but he’s 0-for-13 in the first three games of the current series at Texas.
