“Very familiar with the bench/IR rules in fantasy football,” the scoreboard read.
The drama began when Pham mysteriously slapped Pederson before a game between the Giants and Cincinnati Reds in May. Pham was removed from the lineup that afternoon and was later handed a three-game suspension.
After the game, Pederson revealed that the issue between the two players stemmed from a fantasy football league. Pham wasn’t happy.
“We were in a fantasy league together,” Pederson told reporters after the game. “I put a player on injured reserve when they were listed as ‘out’ and added another player. And then there was as text message in the group saying that I was cheating because I was stashing players on my bench.”
