TOMMY PHAM NEWS

Takes seat Saturday Pham is not starting Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Pham went 0-for-2 and drew a trio of free passes in Friday's contest. He's struggled at the plate this month, hitting .170 with six extra-base hits and four RBI in 17 games since the beginning of August. Wil Myers is playing left field and batting seventh Saturday.

Retreats to bench Pham isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Pham blasted a solo homer in Tuesday's loss to Colorado, but he'll be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Wil Myers, Trent Grisham and Fernando Tatis will start in the outfield from left to right.

Homers in loss Pham went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Rockies.

Impact After getting the day off Monday in Colorado, Pham reentered the lineup with a bang Tuesday. He became the third Padre to homer off German Marquez in the seventh inning when he took the Rockies' starter deep over the wall in left center. The round tripper snapped a homerless streak for the 33-year-old that dated back to Aug. 4. With Fernando Tatis making the move to right field, both Pham and Wil Myers could be jostled in the Padres' bid to keep their star healthy.

Not in Monday's lineup Pham is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Pham and Wil Myers look as though they might be forced to split one spot down the stretch, with Fernando Tatis Jr. becoming the everyday right fielder. Pham started in left field Sunday, but it will be Myers there for Monday's game. Both Pham and Myers bat right-handed, so there's no obvious way to platoon the pair, making it hard to predict exactly how the playing time will be handed out going forward.

Sitting amid slump Pham is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

Impact After coming out of the All-Star break with seven hits in his first two starts, Pham has managed only 10 hits in his subsequent 19 contests, slashing a measly .137/.210/.247 over that span. Pham still appears to have a hold on an everyday role in left field, but he could see his playing time take a hit if the Padres elect to bring back Fernando Tatis (shoulder) as an outfielder once he's ready to return from the injured list later this season. If Tatis ends up filling an everyday role in the outfield, only two spots would be available for Pham, Wil Myers and Trent Grisham in any given game.

Homers, plates two runs Pham went 2-for-5 with a home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.

Impact Pham set the tone for the Padres when he launched a homer off Sean Manaea in the first at-bat of the contest, and by night's end, he'd recorded his second multi-hit game over the last four contests. That said, he still has more work to do to fully claw out of a slump that's seen him go just 4-for-31 over his last eight games.

On base three times Pham went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs, a walk and a strikeout in a 3-0 triumph over the Rockies on Thursday.

Impact Batting first, Pham scored after doubling in the first inning for the only run Joe Musgrove and the Padres would require, singled in the third and walked and scored in the eighth. The hits snap an 0-for-15 stretch with eight strikeouts covering four games, though Pham still sports a respectable .258/.369/.414 slash line with a balanced 11 home runs and 13 steals while recording 56 walks, 12th most in MLB.
