Meanwhile, possible disciplinary action against Chiles, who promoted Steve Howe against the league’s directives, reportedly was among the items on the agenda as American and National League club owners met separately in Toronto.

Ueberroth, who met with the owners Wednesday, has an unwritten policy that players who have undergone substance abuse rehabilitation should spend 60-90 days in the minors to assure that they have their problem under control.
