Chamberlain, who was suspended for two games, says it was not on purpose.

Chamberlain said he is "not at all" concerned about any type of lingering effects from the incident. Youkilis, who was hit in the head by a Scott Proctor pitch earlier this season, told The Boston Globe: "I suppose they don't like me for whatever. I don't know. Maybe they're mad at me.
