Prince Fielder got into an altercation with Manny Parra in the dugout after Parra was removed from his start on Monday. Cameras caught Fielder shoving Parra to the dugout floor. Parra had just departed after giving up six runs in six innings in the contest. Fielder then shoved Parra twice before teammates pulled him away. Fielder remained in the game afterwards.It was reminiscent of Aug. 2 last season, when manager Ned Yost got into a heated dispute with catcher Johnny Estrada in the dugout tunnel during a loss to the Mets and players intervened. That came during a run of 10 losses in 14 games, a fade that dropped Milwaukee out of first place. Analysis: Fielder is unlikely to be suspended by the team in a pennant race, so consider him a must-start in leagues. He had been hot and resurgent as a Fantasy superstar again after a slow start.
