Tommy Pham - Leads off in team debut Pham started in right field and went 2-for-5 with a pair of base hits Sunday in the Royals 7-2 loss to the Astros.
Impact Fresh off being claimed off waivers from the Cardinals, Pham was put to work right away by the Royals, who deployed him as their leadoff hitter in his team debut. Pham could eventually be a candidate to move down the lineup, but he should have a decent amount of leash in a near-everyday role in the corner outfield while Hunter Renfroe (hamstring) is on the shelf. Before being claimed by the Royals, Pham had turned in a .254./321/.378 slash line with seven home runs and six stolen bases in 374 plate appearances between the White Sox and Cardinals this season.

Impact Frazier will take a seat for the fourth game in a row and looks to have moved into a part-time role. He had been serving as the Royals' primary option in right field after Hunter Renfroe (hamstring) landed on the injured list, but waiver pickup Tommy Pham now looks poised to handle those duties.
