The Mets are calling up veteran outfielder Tommy Pham before their three-game series with the Dodgers begins in Los Angeles on Monday night, per a report from Will Sammon. The 38-year-old signed a minor league deal with the organization in late March.

Pham played in a handful of games with the Low-A St. Lucie Mets over the past few days, a relatively short ramp-up to get him ready to return to major league action. Having spent the majority of the 2023 season with the Mets, Pham has been a slightly-below-league-average

hitter since the team traded him to the Diamondbacks that year. Over the course of the 2024 and 2025 seasons, Pham had a 93 wRC+ in 927 plate appearances with the White Sox, Cardinals, Royals, and Pirates.

There’s no news yet on the corresponding move that will clear a spot for Pham on the active roster, but the Mets have a few candidates. Carson Benge has struggled to the tune of a 33 wRC+ in his first 52 major league plate appearances, Brett Baty hasn’t been much better with a 51 wRC+, and Ronny Mauricio was only called up a few days ago, having spent the majority of this season in Triple-A Syracuse.
