Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham (back) was scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup against the Chicago Cubs with lower-back stiffness. Fantasy managers should consider Pham day-to-day until we know more about his back injury. In his place, Max Schrock will start in left field and hit sixth against Cubs right-hander Keegan Thompson. Schrock has just 11 at-bats for Cincy this season and is still searching for his first home run while going 3-for-11 (.273) with an RBI, no walks and two strikeouts. Pham is slashing .245/.339/.412 on the year with 10 home runs, 30 RBI, 43 runs scored and five stolen bases in 271 plate appearances over 64 games played.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham went deep off of Eric Lauer in Friday's 5-4 loss against the Milwaukee Brewers. He finished the game 1-for-4 with a run and an RBI. Pham is having a solid fantasy season at the dish, slashing .250/.345/.426 with nine home runs, five stolen bases, 38 runs, and 26 RBI across 56 games. His last 15 games have been especially impressive, in which he's hit .310 with a .954 OPS. Fantasy managers can start Pham in most formats and expect him to keep providing some power and speed.

Pham has missed a week of action after a three-game suspension while also being scratched from the lineup due to left calf pain the last two days. The 34-year-old had five hits in his previous 14 at-bats over four games before his suspension with a homer and five RBI, so his fantasy managers are hoping his week absence won't throw his timing off too much. Overall, Pham is slashing .233/.335/.373 with five home runs, 17 RBI, 26 runs scored and three stolen bases in 176 plate appearances in his first season in Cincinnati.

He was originally in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game, but he was a late scratch for the contest and the same process repeated on Wednesday. Aristides Aquino is entering the starting lineup to take Pham's spot for Wednesday's game. Pham should be considered day-to-day for now.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham (calf), who was set to return from a three-game suspension on Tuesday, was scratched from the starting lineup due to left calf discomfort. Nick Senzel, who was originally scheduled for a day off, will now start in center field and bat third against Boston Red Sox right-hander Michael Wacha. Pham has been in the news of late after a pre-game altercation with San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson last week. The 34-year-old has some modest power and speed but is hitting just .233 (35-for-150) this year with five homers and 17 RBI for the Reds. Senzel is hitting just over the Mendoza Line with a homer and five RBI in 24 games, but he's batting .273 (6-for-27) in the last seven days.

Pham has been better in May after an ice-cold start, and he's now batting .233/.335/.373 with five home runs, 17 RBI, 26 runs scored and three stolen bases in 150 at-bats for Cincy. With Senzel out, Albert Almora Jr. is in center field and is batting eighth against Wacha. Almora represents a low-upside DFS play.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham has been issued a three-game suspension that started Friday evening. He will miss the weekend series against the San Francisco Giants, but is expected to return after that. Pham has been suspended for slapping outfielder Joc Pederson over a fantasy football dispute. The fact Pham has been suspended makes sense why he has missed the last two contests. Fantasy managers should expect to have Pham back after the weekend series.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham (personal) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He'll miss his second straight game after an odd altercation with outfielder Joc Pederson on Friday. Pham decided to slap Pederson over a fantasy football dispute.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham was a late scratch ahead of his team's Friday night game against the San Francisco Giants. Pham was involved in a pregame altercation with Giants outfielder Joc Pederson and apparently slapped the latter during Cincinnati's batting practice ahead of the game. The incident reportedly stemmed from a disagreement in the fantasy football league that the two of them are both in. MLB is investigating the incident and Pham agreed not to play on Friday night as a result. There is a real possibility that Pham will face disciplinary action from the league and could be looking at a suspension.

Over 42 games this season, the 34-year-old is slashing .233/.335/.373 with five home runs, 17 RBI, 26 runs, and three stolen bases. However, Pham's .282 xBA and .505 xSLG paint a much better picture of how his season is going, so fantasy managers should hold onto him.

The 34-year-old is slashing .225/.330/.416 with four home runs, seven RBI, 15 runs, and a stolen base over 103 plate appearances in 2022. TJ Friedl is batting leadoff and will draw the start in left field. Friedl has struggled so far this season, slashing .167/.222/.250 over eight games. Fantasy managers can avoid using Friedl as a streamer outside of deep-league formats.

He was removed from Tuesday's game after suffering a hand injury in the outfield collision with center fielder Nick Senzel. The 34-year-old's initial X-rays were negative, and Reds manager David Bell said he could return Friday. He's off to a slow start and has yet to collect a hit in the first 19 plate appearances in 2022. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday to ensure Pham is in the lineup before starting him in deep-league formats.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Triston McKenzie and the Cleveland Guardians.

The 34-year-old went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before exiting. Pham appears to have avoided a significant injury and is considered day-to-day.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham is starting in left field and batting third on Opening Day on Thursday against Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried. Pham really struggled in his two seasons with the San Diego Padres, slashing .226/.335/.370 with 18 home runs, 61 RBI, 87 runs scored and 20 stolen bases in 686 plate appearances over 186 games. A change of scenery could do him well, though, and he should be a regular in the outfield for the rebuilding Reds. Pham didn't cost much on draft day, and he could end up being a nice value pick if he stays healthy due to his power/speed combination in a nice hitter's park.

Free-agent outfielder Tommy Pham agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday, according to multiple sources familiar with the negotiations. The deal includes a mutual option for the 2023 season and is pending a physical. The 34-year-old hit .229 last year with 24 doubles, 15 home runs, 49 RBI, 74 runs scored and 14 stolen bases in his second year with the San Diego Padres. The right-handed hitter will add speed and power to the top of the Reds lineup, slotting into an outfield that consists of Nick Senzel, Tyler Naquin and Jake Fraley. Pham has hit well against lefties in his career and also has a career .366/.449/.505 slash line in 101 at-bats at Great American Ballpark.

Free-agent outfielder Tommy Pham has shown interest in playing first base for this upcoming season. The 33-year-old outfielder mentioned he has interest playing first base for the Tampa Bay Rays, according to Marc Topkin. A team that Pham has played with previously and had plenty of success. Last season, Pham slashed .229/.340/.383 with 15 homers, 49 RBI and 14 stolen bases with the San Diego Padres. It was a down year for the veteran outfielder, but the potential is still there. The fact Pham is willing to offer more versatility should increase his amount of suitors once the lockout ends. Pham should be able to keep himself relevant in fantasy formats, assuming he lands a full-time spot somewhere.

After an inconsistent season in 2021, San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham will enter his age-34 season as a free agent. Pham followed up a disappointing shortened campaign last year with a .229/.340/.383 slash, 15 homers, 14 steals and 123 runs-plus-RBI in 561 plate appearances. Despite his fourth career double-digit power and speed output, Pham encountered tough luck this year in spite of his above average expected stats and plate discipline. After making $8.9 million this year, it's possible the Friars opt for a cheaper and younger option in left field. While Pham's track record will assuredly land him a home, visibility on playing time will be paramount to his fantasy viability. Pencil him in as a platoon OF option going into the offseason.
