Back in May, Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham slapped Joc Pederson of the San Francisco Giants in what was revealed to be over a fantasy football dispute in the past. The story only grew from there, and it continues to do so with this latest update.

Reds' Tommy Pham: Slugs three-run homer in loss

Pham went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and three total runs scored in a loss to the Cubs on Thursday. Pham had already collected a pair of hits and scored twice before launching a three-run homer to left field in the ninth inning. It was a mere murmur of protest in a game that Chicago won in a rout, but the long ball was certainly a happy occurrence for fantasy managers who roster Pham. The veteran outfielder closed June with a .283/.362/.511 slash line along with six homers, 16 RBI, 20 runs and three stolen bases across 26 games during the month.

Joc Pederson’s Braves teammates said he didn’t take BP vs. Padres last season because he knew Tommy Pham wanted to ‘beat him up’

It really is the story that will not die. Amazingly, there wasn’t another chapter in the Joc Pederson-Tommy Pham saga last weekend, when Pham’s Reds faced the Giants at Oracle Park in a three-game series that was without incident between the two parties. Another wrinkle was revealed on Monday, however, when two of Pederson’s teammates with the Braves last season disclosed some interesting info about the beef.

Reds' Tommy Pham: Scratched with back stiffness

Pham was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Cubs due to lower-back stiffness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Pham was slated to start in left field for Cincinnati, per usual, but he'll end up on the bench due to the back issue. The severity of the injury remains unclear, and the 34-year-old should be considered day-to-day. Max Schrock entered the lineup in Pham's place.
