White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has been suspended one game by Major League Baseball for an obscene gesture he made towards fans in Cleveland on Wednesday.
Anderson has appealed the suspension.
During the first game of Wednesday’s double-header between the Guardians and the White Sox, a Cleveland fan made a comment to Anderson, who proceeded to flash his middle finger at the fan.
“Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for his inappropriate actions towards fans during Chicago’s game on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field in Cleveland,” the release from Major League Baseball read.
