NEW YORK (Reuters) - Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley remained eligible to play in Monday's NLDS against the New York Mets 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 high, late collision at second base during Saturday's second game of the best-of-five, which is knotted at 1-1.
