Utley's suspension appeal to be heard Monday

The hearing of Chase Utley's appeal of his two-game suspension for his hard slide into Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada last week will be held on Monday, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times.

Monday is a scheduled off-day between Games 2 and 3 of the National League Championship Series, should the Dodgers overcome a 2-1 deficit against the Mets in their NL Division Series and advance to the next round.

In addition, it was reported on Tuesday by ESPN.com that the second baseman rejected an offer from Major League Baseball of a one-game suspension for the slide in Saturday's Game 2, which resulted in a broken leg for Tejada.
