DALLAS -- Former Rangers pitcher Kenny Rogers will have to take an anger management course as a result of assaulting a television sports photographer last year.

Rogers appeared in a Tarrant County courtroom on Friday afternoon, where a deal was worked out to reduce the charge against him.

Rogers is charged with class-A misdemeanor assault with bodily injury.

If Rogers completes the anger management course by his next court date, July 28, the charge will be reduced to a class-C misdemeanor with a $500 fine.
