Someone has truly said, What goes around comes back around. Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox has been punished for his last season’s actions in the ballpark. Major League Baseball has suspended the White Sox shortstop for the first two games of the 2022 season.

On the opening day of the 2022 season, the Chicago White Sox will be without their superstar shortstop against Detroit Tigers. Apart from the two games suspension, Anderson has also been fined $10,000. 

Notably, back in September 2021, during an altercation in the ballpark, Anderson made contact with an umpire. However, after an appeal to MLB, Anderson will not have to face full punishment. But still, missing the first two games might prove a bit costly for the White Sox.

Chicago White Sox SS Tim Anderson reduced his punishment after an appeal to MLB

After his appeal to MLB, the Chicago White Sox shortstop has been able to reduce his punishment. Now, instead of three matches, Anderson will miss only two league games. However, he will still have to pay the fine of $10.000.

When this incident occurred in the last season, Anderson had blamed umpire Tim Timmons for initiating the contact. As per Sports Illustrated, the White Sox SS didn’t bump into the umpire purposely. And coincidentally, the White Sox are playing against the Detroit Tigers on their opening day, against the same team when the incident took place.
