Tommy Pham, outfielder for the Cincinnati Reds has been given a three-game suspension for slapping San Francisco Giants player Joc Pederson over a fantasy football slight.

Video of the slap would make its way around social media. Apparently, the slap came from Tommy Pham believing that Joc Pederson was cheating in a fantasy football league both participated in.
At the time, the slap seemed random and sparked speculation. That speculation was squashed after Pederson talked about the incident after the Giants’ 5-1 loss to the Reds. He said that he and Pham didn’t even have an argument prior to the slap. Tommy Pham will be back in action in two games as he was dropped from the lineup after the assault.
