"White Sox right fielder Jermaine Dye appealed his two-game suspension and fine and will be in the lineup tonight against the Blue Jays.

Major League Baseball suspended Dye on Friday and fined him an undisclosed amount stemming from an ejection Wednesday in Cleveland.

Dye was called out on strikes by home plate umpire Mike DiMuro. Upset with the call, Dye flicked his bat away and, as he walked away from home plate, slammed his helmet to the ground. Television camera caught the helmet bouncing behind Dye and hitting DiMuro.
