Mets Designate Tommy Pham for Assignment After Rockies Sweep

New York is searching for offense during a prolonged scoring drought.

Overview

  • The Mets moved to DFA outfielder Tommy Pham after Sunday’s doubleheader sweep by the Rockies at Citi Field, according to multiple reports.
  • Pham, 38, went 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts across nine games after being called up earlier in April.
  • New York’s bats have sagged, with the team scoring one run or fewer in 10 of its first 28 games this season.
  • A corresponding roster move was not announced, though multiple outlets reported the club is signing outfielder Austin Slater.
  • Pham is a 13-year veteran who has played for 10 MLB teams, including a productive 2023 stretch with the Mets before a trade to Arizona.
