THE SIDELINES : Melee Gets Buechele Suspended
<i> From Times Wire Services</i>
ARLINGTON, Tex. —
Texas Rangers third baseman Steve Buechele was suspended for three days for his part in a melee Aug. 17 with the Chicago White Sox at Arlington Stadium.
Buechele charged the mound, prompting both benches to clear, after he was hit by a pitch from Greg Hibbard. Buechele was ejected from the game and missed four of the next five games with a back injury and a sore left rib cage.
Rangers General Manager Tom Grieve said the American League office informed the team of the suspension Thursday night.
