Cleveland Guardians All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez had his MLB suspension for fighting with Chicago's Tim Anderson reduced from three games to two on Saturday.
Ramirez, who knocked Anderson to the ground with a wild, well-placed punch, will serve the suspension this weekend during Cleveland's series in Tampa Bay. Ramirez won't play Saturday or Sunday.
Anderson was suspended six games for fighting with Ramirez near second base and triggering a benches-clearing melee on Aug. 5 between the Guardians and White Sox that went on for several minutes and included several other flareups.
Guardians manager Terry Francona, third base coach Mike Sarbaugh and closer Emmanuel Clase were all suspended one game.
