ARLINGTON, Texas — The Chicago White Sox closed their four-game series against the Texas Rangers on Sunday without All-Star shortstop Tim Anderson, who began serving a two-game suspension.
Anderson was suspended three games by Major League Baseball and fined an undisclosed amount for making contact with plate umpire Nick Mahrley on July 29 against the Oakland Athletics. Anderson and manager Tony La Russa were ejected after disagreeing with a strike call on the first pitch of a seventh-inning at-bat.
Anderson appealed the suspension, which was reduced to two games. He also will miss the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
