Pham went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Pham was the only source of offense for Chicago when he took Tyler Alexander deep for his second home run of the season. Since joining the White Sox on April 26, Pham has regularly hit second in the order and has at least one knock in seven of his 10 games.

Pham went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, a solo homer and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-5 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Pham opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning before extending Chicago's lead to 3-1 in the third with a home run off Bailey Ober, his first since joining the White Sox this year. The 36-year-old Pham has hit the ground running, going 9-for-24 while recording multiple hits in four of his first six contests. He slashed .256/.328/.446 with 16 homers, 68 RBI and 22 steals in 129 games between the Mets and Diamondbacks last season.

Pham is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Pham will get a breather after he started all three games in center field against the Rays over the weekend after the White Sox selected his contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday. He batted out of the No. 2 spot in each of those contests, going 5-for-14 with three runs. Rafael Ortega will get the nod in center field Monday, but Pham should hold down a near-everyday role for a White Sox squad lacking in competent bats.

Pham went 2-for-5 with a run scored Friday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Pham made his debut with the White Sox on Friday and hit second with righty Zach Eflin on the mound. Chicago has used a rotation in its outfield to begin the season, though Pham should play nearly every day in center field while providing well-rounded production at the dish.

The White Sox selected Pham's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Signed to a minor-league contract April 15, Pham has been knocking some rust off at Charlotte, where he went 5-for-17 with one double, two stolen bases and a 3:1 K:BB. The 36-year-old should receive regular playing time in the outfield for the White Sox, with most of it likely to come between center and right field. Pham had a .774 OPS with 16 homers and 22 steals in 2023 and makes for a viable fantasy option in most formats.

Pham agreed to a minor-league contract with Chicago on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rumors were swirling over the weekend that both sides were close to a deal, and Pham should now get a chance to provide a boost for a White Sox team that has been scuffling to start the 2024 season. Per Rosenthal, Chicago has until April 25 to add Pham to the big-league roster, otherwise he can request his release. It's unclear whether the club will keep the 36-year-old in the minor leagues for a brief stint to get acclimated before promoting him.

Pham and the White Sox are closing in on a contract agreement, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pham has remained unsigned as the 2024 campaign has gotten underway, but he appears to have found a suitor. The outfielder appeared in 129 games with the Mets and Diamondbacks during the 2023 regular season, batting .256 with 16 homers, 68 RBI, 55 runs scored and 22 stolen bases over 426 at-bats. If he does ultimately end up in Chicago, Pham will provide the team with some much-needed help in the outfield with Eloy Jimenez (thigh) and Luis Robert (hip) on the shelf.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports Sunday that Pham and the Padres are negotiating a one-year deal.
EDGE Analysis
The 36-year-old split last season between the Diamondbacks and Mets, and he had a solid campaign with a .256/.328/.446 slash line in 129 contests. Jurickson Profar is currently penciled in as San Diego's starting left fielder, though Pham would likely take over that job if a deal is reached.
