Real Salt Lake once again will be without its captain.

The MLS Disciplinary Committee announced Thursday that RSL midfielder Kyle Beckerman had been issued an undisclosed fine and suspended one game for "violent conduct" in the 16th minute of RSL's 1-0 loss at Seattle last weekend. The 35-year-old defensive midfielder will miss Saturday night's home match against the Philadelphia Union at Rio Tinto Stadium.

Beckerman's suspension stems from his tackle on Seattle's Clint Dempsey in the first half.
