Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham and San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson were involved in a brief altercation before Friday's series opener at Great American Ball Park.
While the Giants were warming up in the outfield, Pham confronted Pederson in the outfield during pregame warmups.Pham was in the starting lineup on Friday, batting third as the designated hitter.
But, shortly before gametime, he agreed to be scratched pending results of an investigation by Major League Baseball."We're investigating it and learning as much as we can about the incident," Giants manager Gabe Kapler said, prior to the game."We're taking it very seriously. Until we have a clear understanding of what happened, not willing to discuss it."
