Grandal wasn't in the lineup the day before the All Star break. Wanted to just leave early. Made it very clear. Paraphrasing, TA said: 'Fuck him. If he doesn't want to be here, I'll pay for his flight.'<br><br>Grandal walked over to TA in the tub and slapped him across the face. <a href="https://t.co/G536pevjaA">https://t.co/G536pevjaA</a>

The news comes after Anderson made headlines for another physical altercation on August 5, this time with Cleveland Guardians third baseman José Ramírez.
