Despite the action being deemed safe by the umpire, Anderson did not like what happened. This in gave rise to a heated confrontation between the two players.
The confrontation got physical with the two players pushing towards each other. Second base umpire Malachi Moore tried to arbitrate through the argument but it was of no use.

Will the two players, Tim Anderson and Jose Ramirez face suspension for their action?
MLB is yet to officially speak up about the heated brawl that took place between the two players, however it is very likely that the two players from the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Guardians would face suspension for being involved in the act.
Back in 2016, Rougned Odor had received an eight-game suspension which was later reduced to seven on appeal, for punching José Bautista.
Tim Anderson on the other side is currently busy deleting old tweets before officials come across it and he gets into more trouble.
