MLB handed out suspensions in regards to the Saturday rumble between the White Sox and Guardians.
A combined eight members of the Cleveland Guardians and the Chicago White Sox have received discipline for their roles in the benches-clearing on-field incident that occurred in the bottom of the sixth inning of Saturday night’s game at Cleveland’s Progressive Field. Michael Hill, Major League Baseball’s senior vice president for on-field operations, made the announcement Monday:
• White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has received a six-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for fighting.

• Guardians third baseman José Ramírez has received a three-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for fighting.
• Guardians pitcher Emmanuel Clase has received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine.
• White Sox manager Pedro Grifol and Guardians manager Terry Francona have each received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine.
• Guardians third base coach Mike Sarbaugh has received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine.
• In addition, White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech and Guardians outfielder Gabriel Arias have each received an undisclosed fine.
So MLB appears to have recognized Anderson as the instigator, and may have added games on for his pushing a runner off a base on Friday. Both combatants appealed their suspensions. The others will serve their one game penalties immediately (Sarbaugh on Tuesday, so the coaching staff is not depleted.)
