Chicago White Sox Acquire Tommy Pham from Phillies

The Chicago White Sox have acquired outfielder Tommy Pham from the Philadelphia Phillies as they seek to extend their chances for an American League Central title. This move comes as the team looks to fend off the Cleveland Guardians, with a 3.5-game lead as of Monday.

Pham, who had been playing in Triple-A with the Phillies, is expected to be activated when rosters expand on Tuesday. The White Sox will send cash considerations to the Phillies as part of the deal. Pham, 38, has had a varied season, playing for three different teams in 2026, and brings postseason experience from his time with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

In 44 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Pham recorded a batting average of .250 and an OPS of .772. His addition is aimed at strengthening the White Sox lineup against left-handed pitching as they prepare for the postseason.
