Appeal or no appeal, Chase Utley isn't playing.

The Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman reportedly was appealing a two-game suspension for an illegal slide in Game 2 of the NLDS versus the New York Mets that broke the leg of Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada.

But the Dodgers take the field Monday night against the Mets for a pivotal Game 3 of their best-of-five series, and Utley is nowhere to be found in the lineup card. Wilmer Flores replaces Tejada in New York's lineup.

Here are the two teams' starting lineups. First pitch is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET.
