Pham exited Tuesday's game against the Cubs early with a left side contusion.
Pham, who'd smacked his 23rd home run in the second inning off Cubs starter Jake Arrieta, was hit by a pitch on his left side during his at-bat in the sixth inning. He was able to remain in the game for the following inning before being pinch-hit for by Stephen Piscotty in the eighth. He's seemingly avoided a serious injury, but it would be a major hit to the Cardinals' already-slim playoff hopes if the breakout left fielder is forced to miss any time at all. He should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
