Jose Ramirez won’t have to wait for much longer to get back on the field.
The suspension will be served during Cleveland’s weekend series against the Rays, and Ramirez will be out for Saturday and Sunday’s games.
“Not having him for 10 minutes isn’t fun, let alone two ,” Guardians manager Terry Francona said before Saturday’s game with the Rays. “But I’m glad it’s two instead of three. We got the final verdict this morning.”Anderson, meanwhile, who seemed to instigate the melee on Aug. 5, was suspended six games for his role in the fight.
Though the suspension was doled out two days after the brawl, Ramirez continued to play this week until his appeal was heard. The two infielders began throwing punches after Anderson took issue with how Ramirez slid into second base.Ramirez knocked Anderson down after the Chicago shortstop failed to connect on a few blows.Ramirez said he “deeply regret what happened” and called Anderson a “very good baseball player.” “Everyone who knows me, knows well I’m not somebody who’s out there looking for trouble,” Ramirez said.
“I want to thank everybody in my organization, my teammates and all my fans for their support during this process.” According to Ramirez, his efforts to make amends with Anderson fell on deaf ears, as the Guardians star said that he had not received a response from the Chicago shortstop.
