St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham will not return to Saturday's game due to groin tightness. Pham's day ended abruptly after only a single at bat in which he walked.

Charlie Blackmon Continues Road Show

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon blasted his 11th home run of the season on Friday at Citi Field, and it continued quite a trend for him.

Ryan Zimmerman Out Of Lineup On Saturday

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman has been scratched from the lineup against the Phillies due to back stiffness.
