Pham is appealing the suspension, which was scheduled to be served in Friday’s series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Thus, he is in Pittsburgh’s lineup Friday, batting sixth and playing left field.

The incident in question occurred during the fifth inning of Wednesday’s game. Pham ran down a double by Travis d’Arnaud into the left-field corner and was touched on the back by a fan who was reaching for the ball with his glove.
Pham immediately turned to look at who touched him and glared at the fan before throwing the ball back to the infield. Following the play, as the 12-year veteran went back to his position, he gestured at the fan with, as MLB put it, an inappropriate action.
