ATLANTA (Ticker) --- New York Mets batters will not be getting signs from third base coach Cookie Rojas in the National League Championship Series.

The NL today suspended Rojas for five games for pushing umpire Charlie Williams in the eighth inning of Saturday's 4-3 Division Series win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The suspension begins Tuesday in the opener of the best-of-seven series against the Atlanta Braves. Rojas, who also was fined an undisclosed amount, could return for Game Six on October 19 in Atlanta.

Rojas became incensed with a controversial call by Williams, who ruled a potential go-ahead double by Darryl Hamilton just foul down the left-field line. After he was ejected, Rojas gave Williams a two-handed push and needed to be restrained by several Mets players and coaches.

Rojas said that he pushed Williams only after the umpire cursed at him during the heated altercation. Video Replays showed Williams made the right call.

Manager Bobby Valentine replaced Rojas on Saturday but bench and catching coach Bruce Benedict will serve as third base coach in the NLCS.

The 60-year-old Rojas is in his third season with the Mets after four years with the Florida Marlins. He played 15 seasons in the major leagues and appeared in four All-Star games.
