Major League Baseball issued Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham a three-game suspension Saturday for slapping Joc Pederson in the face over what the Giants player said was a disagreement about fantasy football. Pham, who was scratched from the lineup right before Friday night’s game started, will miss the remainder of the three-game series after MLB announced the suspension, which includes the night of the altercation. Pederson told reporters after the game the incident happened during batting practice when Pham approached him about a fantasy football league issue that they had over a year ago.
