Padres’ Pham stabbed in back

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham is recovering after he was stabbed in the back Sunday night, authorities said.

Pham was stabbed shortly after 10: 30 p. m. outside the Pacers Showgirls International gentlemen’s club, police Lt. Shawn Takeuchi told the San Diego UnionTribune.

Pham apparently didn’t know the attackers, who remain at large, he said.

“While it was a very traumatic and eyeopening experience for me, I’m on the road to recovery and I know I’ll be back to my offseason training routine in no time,” Pham said in a statement released by the team.
