Tommy Pham In Three-Hole In Debut With Arizona
1 year agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tommy Pham will serve as the designated hitter and bat third in the order in his D-backs debut on Thursday against left-hander Scott Alexander and the San Francisco Giants. The Snakes landed Pham from the New York Mets on Tuesday in a deadline deal, and he'll give Arizona a bit more pop in either the outfield or at DH the rest of the way as they look to get into the postseason. The move to the desert should be a slight fantasy boost for the 35-year-old veteran, as long as he continues to swing the bat like he did for the Mets to this point in the year. Through 79 games in 2023, Pham is hitting .268/.348/.472 with an .820 OPS, 10 home runs, 15 doubles, a triple, 36 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 29 runs scored in 264 trips to the plate. His power/speed combination still plays in most fantasy leagues.
