Chicago White Sox Call Up Outfielder Tommy Pham
The Chicago White Sox have announced that they are calling up outfielder Tommy Pham from Triple-A Charlotte. To make room on the roster, the team has designated journeyman outfielder Kevin Pillar for assignment.
Pham, 36, has played for seven different teams in his career, including the St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Rays, San Diego Padres, Cincinnati Reds, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, and Arizona Diamondbacks. He has a career batting average of .259 with 130 homers and 431 RBIs.
Pillar, 35, has played for nine different teams in his career, including the Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, Boston Red Sox, Colorado Rockies, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, and Chicago White Sox. He has a career batting average of .257 with 107 home runs and 427 RBIs.
This move comes as the White Sox look to improve their outfield depth. Pham is expected to provide a boost to the team’s offense, while Pillar has struggled at the plate this season.
The White Sox are currently in fourth place in the American League Central Division with a record of 17-17. They will face the Kansas City Royals in a three-game series this weekend.
