White Sox Star Tim Anderson's Suspension for Touching MLB Umpire Reduced to 2 Games

The Chicago White Sox will reportedly be without their All-Star shortstop for their next two games.

Jesse Rogers of ESPN reported Anderson reached a settlement with Major League Baseball and will be suspended two games for an incident that happened July 29. The original punishment was three games.

Umpire Nick Mahrley ejected Anderson from a July 29 game against the Oakland Athletics, prompting the shortstop to approach him and continue arguing about a strike call. Anderson's helmet made contact with Mahrley's cap, leading to the suspension.
