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.
