Steals base in loss Pham went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Pham singled in the Padres' lone run of the night on a base hit to right-center and ended up stealing second the very next at-bat. Despite a decent fantasy night, the 33-year-old has had a horrendous start to the 2021 campaign, as he's slashing just .143/.302/.143 with two RBI and three runs scored through the first 13 games.

Swipes bag Sunday Pham went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to Arizona.

Impact The veteran has been playing center field with Trent Grisham (hamstring) on the injured list to start the season, and he was in the lineup for the fourth straight game Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Pham has reached base in all four of those contests and has drawn four walks in his past two. Sunday's stolen base was his first of the campaign, and it stands to reason that he may rack up many more if he keeps getting on base at his current .444 clip.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in center field again Pham will start in center field and lead off for the Padres on Friday.

Impact Pham occupied the same role in San Diego's season-opener Thursday, going 1-for-4 with a HBP. Prior to Opening Day, he last played center field in 2018 as a member of the Rays. Trent Grisham (hamstring) is expected to be the team's regular center fielder this season, so Pham will likely shift over to left field once Grisham is able to return.

Impact This isn't your average set of contacts, but a special pair that helps Pham deal with an eye disorder called keratoconus.
