Tommy Pham Crushes Pinch-Hit Grand Slam In Cardinals Return
4 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham dramatically returned to St. Louis Tuesday night by hitting a pinch-hit grand slam in an 8-1 victory over the Texas Rangers. The slam came off Cody Bradford, who had gone into the game early to relieve Max Scherzer. It was his first game back at Busch Stadium as a member of the Cardinals since the 2018 season. Along with starting pitcher Erick Fedde, Pham was part of a three-team deal completed Monday with the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. The 36-year-old is slashing .267/.331/.392 with six home runs, 23 RBI, 34 runs, and six stolen bases over 71 games in 2024. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Pham could struggle to find everyday playing time and be a part of a lefty/righty platoon. The Cardinals have an all-left-handed hitting outfield with Alec Burleson, Lars Nootbaar, and Michael Siani. Pham should still produce enough for fantasy managers to be rostered in leagues with 12-plus teams or more.
