Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson said Friday he has to better control his emotions after they contributed recently to a fight with Cleveland Guardians slugger José Ramírez.

Anderson was suspended for six games after he fought with Ramírez on Aug. 5, triggering a wild brawl between the AL Central rivals. He had his punishment reduced to five games in a settlement with Major League Baseball that was announced on Thursday.

Anderson started serving the suspension with Friday night's series opener at the Colorado Rockies.
