Jose Ramirez’s suspension has been reduced from three to two games following a heated brawl with White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson. Ramirez, the Guardians’ third baseman, will serve his suspension during the upcoming weekend series against the Rays, missing Saturday and Sunday’s games. Guardians manager Terry Francona expressed relief that the suspension was reduced, stating, “Not having him for 10 minutes isn’t fun, let alone two games.”
On the other hand, Anderson, who appeared to initiate the brawl, received a six-game suspension for his involvement. Despite the brawl occurring on August 5, Ramirez was allowed to continue playing until his appeal was heard. The altercation occurred after Anderson took issue with Ramirez’s slide into second base. Ramirez landed a well-placed right hook after Anderson failed to connect on his punches.
In the aftermath, Ramirez expressed regret for his actions and extended an apology to Anderson, calling him a “very good baseball player.” He emphasized that he is not someone who looks for trouble and aims to be a positive example for his team. Ramirez has made efforts to make amends with Anderson but has received no response thus far.
Ramirez’s return to the field is expected after this weekend, and he expressed gratitude towards his organization, teammates, and fans for their support during this process.
