More groin discomfort Pham said he is optimistic about the right groin discomfort that caused his early departure from Thursday's loss to the White Sox, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pham was lifted from the game after attempting to leg out a double play in the bottom of the third inning. This groin discomfort stems from a play in the field just before the All-Star break and he might need an extended period of rest to get it fully healed, though the Mets aren't saying yet whether the veteran outfielder will require a 10-day IL stint. The situation figures to be reevaluated ahead of Friday's series opener at Boston.

Jeff McNeil shifted to the outfield to begin the top of the fourth, with Luis Guillorme entering the game at second base. Pham's exit is ominous news for the Mets, who just lost Starling Marte (migraines) to the 10-day injured list prior to Thursday's series finale versus Chicago.

Collects steal Wednesday Pham went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Pham has hit well of late, going 14-for-31 (.452) with two steals, two home runs and five RBI over his last eight contests. His theft Wednesday gave him 10 on the year -- the fifth time in the last seven seasons he's logged double-digit steals. The veteran outfielder also has a strong .286/.355/.510 slash line with nine homers, 34 RBI, 24 runs scored, 14 doubles and a triple over 65 contests this season. He's a virtual lock to be in the lineup as the Mets' preferred left fielder over the last month.

Swats ninth homer Pham went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's loss to the Giants.

Swats seventh homer Pham went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Getting the start as the designated hitter and batting fifth, Pham tied the game at 7-7 by taking Chris Stratton the other way in the fifth inning, but the Mets' bullpen faltered in the ninth. With Daniel Vogelbach getting another chance to re-establish himself, Pham will likely fall back into a short-side platoon role at DH while also seeing occasional action in the outfield despite a strong run in June that has seen the 35-year-old slash .311/.319/.689 through 47 plate appearances with four of his seven homers and 13 of his 27 RBI on the season.

Pham remained in the contest and took over in left field, and he did his best Alonso impression with a two-run homer in the fifth inning. The veteran outfielder has gone deep three times in his past seven at-bats after hitting just three homers over his initial 38 games this season.

Pham is now 9-for-25 (.360) with five extra-base hits in his last nine games after following an 0-for-15 skid.

He's added a meager .225/.311/.393 slash line with three home runs, 14 RBI and seven runs scored through 103 plate appearances.
