Apr 23, 2025; Anaheim, California, USA; Pittsburgh Pirates left fielder Tommy Pham (28) hits an RBI single during the ninth inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images Major League Baseball suspended Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Tommy Pham for one game and fined him an undisclosed amount Friday for what the league called "inappropriate actions towards fans."
Pham's transgression occurred Wednesday when the Pirates were playing at the Los Angeles Angels. Cameras caught him making a vulgar hand gesture toward Angels fans in the left field seats.
Pham is appealing the suspension and will be available Friday when the Pirates open a three-game series at the Los Angeles Dodgers.
In 23 games in his first season with the Pirates, the veteran outfielder is batting .184 with three doubles and six RBIs. He's made 19 starts in left field for Pittsburgh.
Pham is a career .256 hitter currently playing for his 10th major league club and his eighth in the past four years. His next hit will be the 1,000th of his career.
