Under а deаl with Mаjоr Leаgue Bаsebаll, Chicаgо White Sоx stаr Tim аndersоn hаd his six-gаme sentence lоwered tо five gаmes оn Thursdаy fоr fighting Clevelаnd’s Jоsé Rаmirez аnd triggering а benches-cleаring brаwl.

Anderson, who also issued an apology on Thursday, will begin serving his suspension on Friday, when the White Sox begin a three-game series in Colorado.

Ramrez’s suspension was reduced from three games to two, and he played in both.

After hitting an RBI double between Anderson’s legs, Ramirez dove headfirst into second base, sparking a brawl. He reacted negatively to a forceful tag by getting to his feet quickly.

Malachi Moore, the second base umpire, attempted to mediate as Ramirez pointed at Anderson with his finger.

Anderson then took a boxing stance, removed his glove, and challenged Ramirez.

Both teams’ members began throwing punches, with Ramirez landing a blind shot that knocked Anderson to the ground.

Manager Terry Francona of the Cleveland Indians, closer Emmanuel Clase of the Guardians, and third base coach Mike Sarbaugh of the Cleveland Indians were all punished for one game. Chicago’s manager, Pedro Grifol, received a similar one-game ban.

Michael Kopech, a pitcher for the White Sox, and Gabriel Arias, a rookie for the Guardians, both received fines of an undisclosed amount.
