Tim Anderson has been suspended for six games for his role in Saturday’s bench-clearing brawl, MLB announced on Monday. José Ramírez, who instigated the exchange that led Anderson to make the unfortunate decision to turn the infield into a boxing ring, received just three games. Emmanuel Clasé received one game for his overenthusiastic entrance from the bullpen during the ensuing fracas, while managers Pedro Grifol and Terry Francona and Cleveland third base coach Mike Saurbaugh also received a game, which they’ve already served. As is typical, both infielders are deferring their suspensions pending a union appeal to the league, where suspensions are anticipated to be reduced by a single game.
