Major League Baseball fined and suspended Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton for one game for inciting a benches-clearing incident against the Cleveland Indians last week, according to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Eaton caused tempers to flare when he shoved Andres Gimenez following a play at second base.

The 32-year-old plans to appeal the decision, Van Schouwen adds.

Indians first baseman Jake Bauers and second baseman Cesar Hernandez were also fined.
