White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson receives 1-game suspension for ‘inappropriate actions toward fans’

MINNEAPOLIS — Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for “his inappropriate actions toward fans” during Game 1 of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field, Major League Baseball announced Friday.

Anderson is appealing and was in the lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.

Cameras caught Anderson making a middle-finger gesture after something was said from the crowd before the bottom of the eighth inning. Anderson declined to discuss the topic before Thursday’s game in Cleveland.

He addressed a tough day in the field Wednesday, which included three errors in the 11-1 Game 1 loss, saying: “It’s something that you can learn and grow from, and it’s a sign that you’ve got to keep working.”

Anderson missed the first two games of the season after his appeal of a three-game suspension handed down in the final week of 2021 was reduced by one game.
