Jason Kendall

5/5/2006

Kendall has been suspended four games for charging the mound and tackling Angels right-hander John Lackey on Tuesday. The Oakland catcher also was fined. He will begin his suspension Friday unless he appeals it. If he does, he can continue playing until he has a hearing that makes the final determination on his suspension.

Kendall charged the mound and tackled Angels right-hander John Lackey Tuesday, after the two had an exchange about Lackey's pitch location and the Oakland catcher's batting stance. Kendall confronted Lackey after the Angels pitcher told him not to lean over the plate, and the two wrestled near the pitching mound in the A's 10-3 win over Los Angeles.

Kendall told the San Francisco Chronicle over the weekend that he had his left knee cleaned out a few days after the 2005 season ended. The Oakland catcher said the knee is "100 percent better than it was" before the minor procedure. He should be ready to go when training camps open next month. In his first season with Oakland in 2005, Kendall batted .271 with 28 doubles, no homers and 53 RBIs in 150 games. He slugged just .321.
