Alex Rodriguez should be ready for Texas’ opening day despite a minor injury to his neck. The only way Vladimir Guerrero can play the opener for Montreal is if he appeals his suspension.

Guerrero was suspended for three games Friday, and Florida pitcher Brad Penny was suspended for five games for their roles in a bench-clearing brawl this week.

Montreal infielder Jose Macias was suspended two games. All three players were also fined by baseball disciplinarian Bob Watson.

The suspensions for Guerrero and Penny are scheduled to start on opening day unless the players appeal them. Macias’ suspension is scheduled to start April 4.

Watson figures to be busy in the next few days. He’s still deciding a punishment for New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza and Los Angeles reliever Guillermo Mota after their brawl Wednesday.

Rodriguez will miss at least a few days with a small herniated disc in his neck, but the Rangers are confident their $252 million shortstop will be healthy by opening day.
