How Tommy Pham Convinced White Sox to Add Him to Lineup vs. Guardians
- On Wednesday, the Chicago White Sox activated veteran outfielder Tommy Pham from the 10-day injured list, slotting him into the cleanup spot for an afternoon rubber match against the Cleveland Guardians.
- Pham, sidelined with a left calf strain since September 6, secured his return after informing White Sox general manager Chris Getz of his readiness during an elevator encounter.
- The 38-year-old journeyman holds a career.256 average with 149 home runs and 522 RBIs over 1,251 games; the White Sox acquired him from the Philadelphia Phillies on August 31.
