Padres bench coach Muser suspended for one game

Posted on: Thursday, 20 July 2006, 17:25 CDT

NEW YORK (Reuters) - San Diego Padres bench coach Tony Muser has been suspended for one game after getting ejected for arguing a checked swing, Major League Baseball announced Thursday.

Muser will also be fined an undisclosed amount for his "inappropriate actions" during a July 16 game against the Atlanta Braves at San Diego's Petco Park, said baseball's Vice President of On-Field Operations Bob Watson.

After a checked swing by Braves slugger Chipper Jones was ruled a ball, Muster and Padres Manager Bruce Bochy were both ejected by home plate umpire Bruce Dreckman for arguing.

Muser will be forced to sit out Friday's game against the host San Francisco Giants.
