Tommy Pham's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham hit his second home run in his new uniform as the Cards went on to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3. The 36-year-old went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's victory. Pham was having a decent season with the White Sox, slashing .266/.330/.380 in 70 games (271 at-bats). The 36-year-old was dealt to St Louis right before the trade deadline. He has, however, been red hot since joining the Cardinals. Pham is slashing .379/.400/.759 over his last eight games. This is a small sample size. However, it is possible that all Pham needed was out of the dreadful White Sox lineup. He is available in 86% of Yahoo! fantasy baseball leagues and has plenty of value in leagues with deep rosters.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham dramatically returned to St. Louis Tuesday night by hitting a pinch-hit grand slam in an 8-1 victory over the Texas Rangers. The slam came off Cody Bradford, who had gone into the game early to relieve Max Scherzer. It was his first game back at Busch Stadium as a member of the Cardinals since the 2018 season. Along with starting pitcher Erick Fedde, Pham was part of a three-team deal completed Monday with the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. The 36-year-old is slashing .267/.331/.392 with six home runs, 23 RBI, 34 runs, and six stolen bases over 71 games in 2024. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Pham could struggle to find everyday playing time and be a part of a lefty/righty platoon. The Cardinals have an all-left-handed hitting outfield with Alec Burleson, Lars Nootbaar, and Michael Siani. Pham should still produce enough for fantasy managers to be rostered in leagues with 12-plus teams or more.

The St. Louis Cardinals acquired veteran outfielder Tommy Pham from the Chicago White Sox on Monday in a three-team deal that also included the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to sources. Pham was originally a 16th-round selection by the Red Birds in 2006 and spent the first four seasons of his big-league career in St. Louis before joining the Tampa Bay Rays in a trade. The 36-year-old was solid for the worst team in baseball in 70 games this year, slashing .266/.330/.380 with five home runs, 19 RBI, six stolen bases and 33 runs scored in an everyday role. Pham will be joining a team in contention for a wild-card spot in the National League, but it remains to be seen if he'll see regular playing time like he did in Chicago. At the very minimum, he should play regularly against lefty pitchers in a much better Cardinals lineup.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Tommy Pham (mouth) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Minnesota Twins and right-hander Bailey Ober, playing right field and batting leadoff for the Pale Hose. Pham had to be scratched from Monday's series opener against the division-rival Twins due to a dental procedure, but the 36-year-old veteran outfielder is back in there now and has an interesting matchup on tap for DFS gamers looking for an outfield sleeper. Pham has only had five career at-bats against Ober, but he's taken him deep once and driven in two runs with a 1.600 OPS. Counting stats aren't really anyone's thing on the White Sox this year, but Pham is riding a current five-game hitting streak in which he's gone 7-for-23 (.304) with two runs scored.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Tommy Pham has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The organization hasn't yet given a reason as to why Pham was pulled from the lineup. Corey Julks will cover center field and bat eighth in his place versus right-hander Chris Paddack. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups ahead of first pitch.UPDATE: Pham is dealing with a dental issue, according to the team. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day and check back to see if he's back in the lineup for Tuesday's contest.
