Launches home run Sunday Pham went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

Impact Pham kicked off the scoring in the second inning with a solo blast to right centerfield, his second long ball of the season. The 35-year-old does not hold down an every day role and has seen 75 percent of his plate appearances come against lefties so far this year. He's now tallied a hit in four of his last five starts and is slashing .281/.361/.500.

Homers, drives in three Pham went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, three total RBI and a steal in Sunday's 5-1 victory over Miami.

Impact The 34-year-old started in center field and batted leadoff in Sunday's series finale, and he powered the Mets offense on a day when both teams combined for just nine hits. Pham may not be an everyday presence in the lineup given New York's outfield talent, but he should still see regular playing time, especially if he can build on his hot start.

Gets start in left field Friday Pham is starting in left field and batting eighth for the Mets in Friday's game versus the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact With the Marlins throwing lefty Jesus Luzardo, Pham will handle left, Mark Canha will be the designated hitter and Tomas Nido will catch. Daniel Vogelbach and Omar Narvaez are sitting out.

Poor showing this spring Pham has gone 4-for-30 (.133) with only one extra-base hit, a double, and zero stolen-base attempts through 11 Grapefruit League games.

Impact The 35-year-old signed with the Mets in the offseason to be the fourth outfielder on a team with older, somewhat injury-prone starters like Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte, but Pham's numbers have been trending down ever since 2019, and his spring performance is a little ominous in that context. He still posted a .686 OPS last season for the Reds and Red Sox however, and he should be able to supply some power and speed this year when he gets a chance to play.

Joins Mets as fourth outfielder Pham agreed Wednesday with the Mets on a one-year, $6 million contract, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact He can also earn another $2 million in incentives. Pham split the 2022 season with the Reds and Red Sox, finishing with a .236/.312/.374 slash line along with 17 homers and eight steals over 144 games. The 34-year-old outfielder hasn't posted an OPS above .800 since his 2019 campaign with the Rays, but he still possesses some quality power and speed while being a reliable option against left-handed pitching. He'll likely be the fourth outfielder with the Mets but should get his fair share of starts against southpaws in 2023.

With his age and waning defensive value, Pham figures to sign a short-term contract this offseason and may not be guaranteed an everyday role with his next team.

Three RBI in win Pham went 1-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, two walks and a hit-by-pitch in Tuesday's 13-9 win over the Orioles.

Impact Pham was all over the basepaths Tuesday, reaching four times in six plate appearances while most notably ripping a two RBI single in the bottom of the third frame. The 34-year-old reached base at least one in six out of his last eight games, batting .290 with a home run, seven RBI and six runs over that stretch. On the season, Pham is now batting .244 with 17 homers, 63 RBI, 89 runs and eight stolen bases over 532 at-bats in 138 games with the Reds and Red Sox.

Gets rare day off Pham is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Pham will head to the bench for the first time since Aug. 24, ending a stretch of 28 consecutive starts. Though his steady playing time and regular spot near the top of the Boston lineup can't be taken for granted while several teams around the league frequently rest their regulars down the stretch, Pham hasn't been capitalizing on his opportunities. During that 28-game stretch, he's batting a modest .246 with pedestrian counting stats (three home runs, one stolen base, 18 runs and eight RBI).

The veteran outfielder has gone 43-for-165 (.261) with 20 RBI and 14 extra-base hits since being acquired by Boston.
