Sources: Anderson ban is for epithet, not bat flip

White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson's one-game suspension following a benches-clearing incident was for his use of the N-word during the on-field confrontation, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Baseball has handed out suspensions related the Royals-White Sox incident on Wednesday. Kansas City pitcher Brad Keller gets five games, or one start, for throwing at Tim Anderson. Chicago manager Rick Renteria also gets a game, and admittedly he was pretty heated during the scrum. But Anderson got a game, too, for "his conduct after the benches cleared." That conduct must have been verbal because there was nothing visual to merit Anderson's ejection, much less a suspension and the fine that goes with it. With no more concrete evidence that what we have -- ie, what was said that umpire Joe West found so disruptive -- I'm going to chalk this one up in the what-the-heck column.

Palka was pinch-hitting for Yoan Moncada, who was hit in the head while stealing a base in the fifth. Moncada remained in the game initially and there has been no announcement made regarding why he was removed.

Best part of the Royals-White Sox incident was when heated Royals coach Dale Sveum had to be held back by ChiSox manager Rick Renteria. It was a battle royale of deposed Cubs managers. Renteria and Sveum both ended up on the ejection list, along with Tim Anderson and Brad Keller.

The White Sox say Lucas Giolito was removed from today's game because of left hamstring tightness. He is listed as day-to-day.

White Sox starter Lucas Giolito was cruising early against the Royals but he grabbed at his right hamstring while delivering a pitch to Alex Gordon. After throwing a couple of warmup pitches, Giolito was pulled from the game. He'd struck out five without allowing a hit over 2 2/3 innings. Ryan Burr is on for Chicago.
