Eligibility
Tommy Pham went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the White Sox's 8-2 defeat to the Rays.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the team's struggles, Pham managed to contribute by driving in both runs for Chicago with his second homer of the season. His performance this season has been decent, maintaining a .282 batting average through 10 games, which is respectable but not eye-popping. Fantasy managers should note his limited walk rate and higher strikeout rate, which could impact his OBP and overall scoring opportunities. While the home run adds a nice touch, his lack of stolen bases and moderate run production so far make him a fringe fantasy option in most leagues.
Tommy Pham went 2-for-4 in the White Sox's 10-5 loss to the Twins, delivering a home run, a double, two runs scored, and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact
This performance marks a significant uptick in Pham's production, considering it was his first home run and first RBIs of the season. His batting average has climbed impressively to .375 through six games, signaling a potentially valuable fantasy asset if he maintains this pace. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his zero walks and low on-base metrics suggest a reliance on maintaining a high BABIP to sustain his batting average.
Tommy Pham is not in the lineup for the Chicago White Sox against the Minnesota Twins Monday.
Fantasy Impact

Fantasy Impact
The deal includes an extra $1.5M in incentives and has a clause that requires him to be added to the active roster by April 25. If he is not added he can request his release and he would receive $500K if traded. Fantasy managers can expect Pham to have a quick ramp up period with the White Sox having to make a decision by April 25.
