NEW YORK (Reuters) - Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley remained eligible to play in Monday's National League Divisional Series clash against the New York Mets on Monday as the appeal of his two-game suspension has not been heard, but he was not in the starting lineup.

Utley was suspended for what was deemed an illegal slide into Mets' shortstop Ruben Tejada, who suffered a broken right leg from a collision at second base during Saturday's second game of the best-of-five, which is tied at 1-1.
