Pham said he is optimistic he won't require a trip to the injured list after leaving Thursday's loss to the White Sox with right groin discomfort, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Pham was lifted from the game after attempting to beat out a double play in the bottom of the third inning. This groin discomfort stems from a defensive play just before the All-Star break, and he might need an extended period of rest to get it fully healed. There should be more clarity on the situation ahead of Friday's series opener at Boston.
