MILWAUKEE (AP) — Major League Baseball officials say they are still investigating an incident between Milwaukee slugger Prince Fielder (FSY) and Dodgers reliever Guillermo Mota (FSY) during — and after — Tuesday night's game in Los Angeles.
MLB discipline chief Bob Watson said Thursday that a decision on disciplinary action could be reached by Friday morning.
Mota hit Fielder in the ninth inning of a 17-4 Dodgers victory, presumably as payback for Milwaukee's Chris Smith grazing Manny Ramirez (FSY) with a pitch two innings earlier.
Afterward, Fielder charged across a hallway toward the Dodgers' clubhouse but was restrained by teammates and security.
