Astros suspend Chacon indefinitely

06/25/2008 -
Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Astros have suspended pitcher
Shawn Chacon indefinitely, general manager Ed Wade announced on Wednesday.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Chacon -- who recently lost his spot in
Houston's starting rotation -- exploded in the Astros clubhouse before
Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers and players had to step in to calm
the situation.
Chacon, who is 2-3 with a 5.04 earned run average in 15 starts this season,
was dropped from the rotation on Sunday after allowing six runs against
Baltimore on June 19. The 30-year-old right-hander was 0-3 with a 9.35 ERA in
June.
According to the Chronicle, Chacon called the decision to move him to the
bullpen "horse (expletive)" and was not used in relief before his suspension.
Chacon signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Astros in the offseason.
The eight-year pro holds a 45-61 record and a 4.99 ERA in 269 games (134
starts) with the Rockies, Yankees, Pirates and Astros.
