Pittsburgh Pirates Tommy Pham's bat breaks as he singles during the ninth inning of Wednesday’s baseball game against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif. Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Tommy Pham has been suspended one game and fined an undisclosed amount for inappropriate actions toward Los Angeles Angels fans during a game Wednesday night.

Pham's suspension was scheduled to be served in Friday night's game at the Los Angeles Dodgers, but it has been delayed because he elected to appeal the punishment.

Pham reportedly made an obscene gesture to a fan who touched him while tracking down a ball in the left field corner in the fifth inning of a 3-0 win over the Angels.

The 12-year veteran is hitting .184 with six RBIs in 23 games during his first season with the Pirates.
