Pham apparently confronted Pederson at the home of the Cincinnati Reds, Great American Ball Park, about a dispute over a fantasy football league they played in together.
Pham accused Pederson of cheating and slapped Pederson in the face prior to yesterday's game. Pham did not play in last night's game because of the altercation. Pederson spoke last night after the game about the incident.

MLB analyst Jared Carrabis commented on the situation and called out Tommy Pham's actions as "psychotic."
Yo Tommy Pham slapped the FUCK out of Joc. Holy shit. Who the hell holds this much hate in their heart for over a year because of fantasy football? Truly one of the most psychotic acts in sports history. https://t.co/0RRT2ULDnD

One fan thinks that the MLB needs to look into the mental health of Tommy Pham, who has had several confrontations with players over the years.
@JonHeyman Maybe MLB should look into the mental health of Pham

Tommy Pham definitely deserved to be suspended for his actions as it is not a good look for the game of baseball, and it is extremely childish for a grown adult to hold a grudge over fantasy football. For more information and updates, go to the Sportskeeda Baseball page.
