The action resulted in Pham being suspended for three games. Pham will miss all three Reds games against the Giants.
There was a disagreement between the two teams regarding whether Pederson used Injured Reserve adequately on Jeff Wilson despite Wilson not actually being on IR. Pederson showed the media the specific text he sent to the media after Pham claimed that Pederson had disrespected the Padres in a group text.
