Reds outfielder Tommy Pham had his three-game suspension for slapping Giants outfielder Joc Pederson lifted on Tuesday night, but was unable to return to the Reds lineup with calf tightness. However, that didn’t prevent him from speaking to the media and giving his latest thoughts on the fantasy football dispute.
Speaking Tuesday in Boston, Pham contested Pederson’s assertion that the way the Giants outfielder had maneuvered the high-stakes fantasy league’s injured reserve spot was legal. Pederson had claimed that he had made a move similar to one that Pham had made in another league, but the Reds player disagreed with that characterization.
