Padres News: Former Padres Outfielder Tommy Pham Gets Designated For Assignment Tommy Pham finds a new home with the Kansas City Royals.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Leads off in team debut Pham started in right field and went 2-for-5 with a pair of base hits Sunday in the Royals 7-2 loss to the Astros.

Impact Fresh off being claimed off waivers from the Cardinals, Pham was put to work right away by the Royals, who deployed him as their leadoff hitter in his team debut. Pham could eventually be a candidate to move down the lineup, but he should have a decent amount of leash in a near-everyday role in the corner outfield while Hunter Renfroe (hamstring) is on the shelf. Before being claimed by the Royals, Pham had turned in a .254./321/.378 slash line with seven home runs and six stolen bases in 374 plate appearances between the White Sox and Cardinals this season.

DFA'd by St. Louis The Cardinals designated Pham for assignment Friday.

Impact It was reported Thursday that Pham would be placed on waivers and now is is officially off St. Louis' 40-man roster. The veteran outfielder had gone just 3-for-39 over his last 15 games, but with his proficiency against left-handed pitching and playoff pedigree, he should draw interest from contenders.

Placed on waivers The Cardinals placed Pham on waivers Thursday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pham got off to a hot start after being acquired by St. Louis at the trade deadline, but he's just 3-for-39 over his last 15 games and has seen his playing time dwindle. The 36-year-old has a .762 OPS versus left-handed pitching and is a career .313/.333/.513 hitter in 31 postseason games, so there would seem to be a good chance a contender scoops him up on waivers. If Pham clears waivers, he will remain with the Cardinals.

Sitting again Saturday Pham is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

Impact Pham will sit Saturday for a second straight game. He's struggled from the plate in August, slashing .176/.283/.314 with four runs scored, one home run and six RBI across 60 plate appearances. Alec Burleson, Victor Scott and Lars Nootbaar will man the outfield for the Cardinals.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Friday Pham is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Minnesota.

Impact He had started the last two contests versus right-handers but he'll take a seat Friday against righty David Festa. Pham got off to a nice start with the Cardinals but is just 2-for-27 over his last 10 games. Alec Burleson will play left field Friday and Matt Carpenter will be the designated hitter.

Could see more starts vs. RHPs Pham will start in left field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Pham had made three of his last four starts against left-handed starting pitchers, but he'll crack the lineup Wednesday while the Brewers send a righty (Tobias Myers) to the hill. According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, Pham could have a pathway to regular playing time moving forward, as the Cardinals optioned struggling infielder Nolan Gorman to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday. With Gorman out of the picture, Brendan Donovan will likely handle a regular role at second base moving forward, which clears room in the corner outfield for both Pham and Lars Nootbaar.

On bench Tuesday Pham is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Impact Pham has one hit in his last 14 at-bats, a streak that spans four games, and will get the night off Tuesday to clear his head. Since being acquired by the Cardinals near the trade deadline, Pham is slashing .279/.311/.535 across 45 plate appearances.

Out of lineup again Thursday Pham is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Rays, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Pham has now been on the bench for two straight games after starting each of the previous seven contests. Brendan Donovan, Victor Scott and Lars Nootbaar will make up the Cardinals' outfield in Thursday's series finale.

AUGUST 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Getting night off Pham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Pham had produced a 1.060 OPS while starting each of the last seven games, but he'll pick up some rest Wednesday while Brendan Donovan checks in for him in left field. So long as he's wielding a hot bat, Pham should be in store for a regular spot in the St. Louis lineup, especially while fellow outfielder Michael Siani (oblique) is on the shelf.

Goes yard in win Pham went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rays.

Impact Pham went deep in the second inning, and the Cardinals were able to hold the lead the rest of the way. The outfielder's swinging a hot bat since returning to St. Louis, going 11-for-29 (.379) with six extra-base hits and nine RBI over his last eight games. With Michael Siani (oblique) sidelined, Victor Scott is likely to see most of the time in center field, but Pham should be in the lineup regularly since he can cover all three outfield positions. Pham is slashing .277/.336/.417 with seven homers, 28 RBI, 38 runs scored and six stolen bases over 78 contests this season.

Collects three hits in victory Pham went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs and two RBI in Wednesday's 10-1 rout of the Rangers.

Impact Pham returned to St. Louis -- where his professional career began -- via a trade with the White Sox on Monday and swatted a grand slam in his 2024 debut with the club Tuesday. The veteran outfielder continued to produce in his first start since the trade Wednesday, plating a two-run double in the fifth frame as part of a three-hit performance. Pham has hit safely in five straight contests and is batting .474 (9-for-19) with a homer and seven RBI during that span.

Pinch-hit slam in return to Cards Pham went 1-for-2 with a grand slam in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Pinch hitting for Matt Carpenter in the fifth inning against southpaw Cody Bradford, Pham made an immediate impact in his first action as a Cardinal since 2018, ripping a changeup up in the zone over the right-center field fence to break open the game. The 36-year-old outfielder made his big-league debut for St. Louis in 2014 and was repatriated at the trade deadline this year from the White Sox, with whom he'd compiled a .266/.330/.380 slash line with five homers and six steals in 70 games. He's expected to handle a short-side platoon role for the Cards, but with Brendan Donovan batting .128 (5-for-39) over his last 10 games, the door could be open for Pham to hit his way into a bigger role in the outfield.
