Rotowire
Pham went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Rays.

Red Sox's Tommy Pham: Unavailable Wednesday
Rotowire
Manager Alex Cora said Pham (back) will be out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
The 34-year-old left Tuesday's contest with lower-back spasms and will miss at least one game. Xander Bogaerts also exited the contest with back spasms and won't be available Wednesday, so Boston is likely to make a roster move to add a position player. Pham also sat out Saturday's contest with a back issue, and the Red Sox may be more cautious with the injury this time around.

Red Sox's Tommy Pham: Extends streak with two hits
Rotowire
Pham went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-3 victory over Pittsburgh.
With a single to lead off the game and a second single in the top of the second inning, Pham extended his hitting streak to eight games, during which he has four multi-hit efforts. The outfielder has improved his average 11 points over that span and brought his line to a more respectable .244/.318/.395. Pham has also been a sneaky source of runs during this stretch, so fantasy managers in need of runs should consider scooping him up if he is still available.

Red Sox's Tommy Pham: Possible waiver wire pickups
Rotowire
After going homerless in July, Pham homered for a third straight game Wednesday, all of them coming with his new team and two in his new home at Fenway Park. In all, he hit four balls in excess of 100 mph Wednesday. He's been impacting the ball hard all year, rating in the 92nd percentile for average exit velocity, but the production has been underwhelming considering. Even so, this hot stretch has him back up to 37th among outfielders in Head-to-Head points scoring and 30th in 5x5 Rotisserie. The Red Sox are showing plenty of faith in him, too, having recently elevated him to the leadoff spot.

Red Sox's Tommy Pham: Smacks homer and double
Rotowire
Pham went 2-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.
After leading off the game for the Red Sox with a strikeout, Pham recovered with a mammoth home run over Michael Harris in center field. He later hit a double off of Kenley Jansen in the ninth but did not come around to score. Tuesday's performance must be a welcome sign for skipper Alex Cora, as Pham had hit just .200 in his first six games with Boston. He's been batting primarily out of the leadoff spot.
