A court hearing for an alcohol-related probation violation for former Oakland A’s all-star pitcher and “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Matt Keough was rescheduled Friday for Jan. 14.

“He’s committed to getting treatment,” said Joseph McGinley, one of Keough’s attorneys. Keough’s wife, former Playboy Playmate Jeana Keough, sat in the back row of the courtroom talking with an attorney before the hearing was rescheduled. She declined to comment to reporters.

Keough was in a courtroom holding cell with disheveled hair and wearing an orange jail jumpsuit. Jail records show he is ineligible for bail.

Keough was arrested at a Newport Beach hotel bar earlier this week for violating the terms of his probation for a 2005 conviction for driving under the influence.

Newport Beach police officers found Keough, 52, drinking at the Fashion Island Marriott hotel Tuesday evening after concerned hotel staff called authorities, Newport Beach police Sgt. Evan Sailor said.

Keough had just finished a seven-week stint at Newport Beach jail as a trustee for another alcohol-related probation violation, Sailor said. During his stay, Keough performed routine maintenance tasks such as washing patrol cars, Sailor said. Keough finished his term as a trustee Dec. 12, Sailor said.

Keough said publicly in 2006 he voluntarily checked himself into treatment at the Betty Ford Clinic for about a month and later attended an outpatient treatment program at Sober Living by the Sea in Newport Beach for about five months. He continued to attend daily Sober Living meetings in Newport Beach after he finished the program.
