Pham has elected to appeal the suspension, ESPN's Alden Gonzalez reports.
The veteran was infamously suspended for three games in May 2022 when he was a member of the Cincinnati Reds after slapping then-San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson in the face after a disagreement regarding the fantasy football league both were involved in.
Pham signed a one-year, $5-million contract with the Pirates in February. The 37-year-old is slashing .184/.267/.224 with seven runs scored, six RBIs, and three stolen bases in 23 games this season.
