NEW YORK (AP) — Chase Utley's appeal hearing on his two-game suspension has been scheduled for Monday, according to a person familiar with the process.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because no announcement was authorized.
Utley was suspended two games by Major League Baseball Chief Baseball Officer Joe Torre for his rough slide in Game 2 that broke the right leg of Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada. Utley was on the bench and didn't play in the Dodgers' 13-7 loss Monday night.
Utley will be eligible to play for the rest of the best-of-five NL Division Series against the Mets, who led 2-1 going into Game 4 Tuesday night.
