Subject: [USML Announce] Dukes Dukes It Out - Gets KOed

This just in from the DUMP hotline: 
? 
One day prior to Tampa Bay announcing the return of Delmon Young from his suspension, they found an able bodied replacement for the suspended list. 
? 
As reported in?Baseball America: 
? 
More bad news came down in Durham, as the Devil Rays suspended outfielder Elijah Dukes indefinitely and sent him home to Tampa after Dukes got into an altercation with teammate Ryan Knox in front of the elevator at the club?s hotel while they were on the road in Charlotte on Saturday night.

While the organization had little to say publicly about the incident, Dukes said he was told only to leave the team and added that the 6-foot-1, 184-pound Knox started the fight, and he said he would be cleared of any wrongdoing. 

?I don?t know what?s going on right now,? he said. ?I haven?t heard from anybody.?

This is the second time Dukes has been sent home this season, but the first time the Rays have announced a suspension for the 21-year-old outfielder.

More to follow......
