Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson appeals his 3-game suspension for making contact with an umpire during Monday’s benches-clearing incident in Detroit

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson received a three-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for making contact with umpire Tim Timmons during Monday’s benches-clearing incident with the Detroit Tigers, Major League Baseball senior vice president of on-field operations Michael Hill announced Wednesday.

Moments later, Abreu attempted to advance to second on a wild pitch. The Tigers took issue with his slide, and the benches cleared. The incident leading to the suspension was not visible on the broadcast.
