Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:07:09 GMT

BOSTON — Tommy Pham is out of the lineup for the third straight game, but he’s available off the bench Sunday night against the Boston Red Sox. The Mets do not plan on placing him on the injured list because MRIs are not showing any sort of damage that would lead them to believe this injury will require the outfielder to take 10 or more days off.However, they did just play two games with a short bench. The injury occurred the day before the All-Star break in San Diego, which was two weeks ago.“He’s getting there,” manager Buck Showalter said Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park before the series finale against the Red Sox. “He’s a lot more available than what he had been.”Pham did not travel to Boston with the team Thursday night, instead staying back in New York to have the groin evaluated again. He underwent imaging after returning from San Diego during the break and was cleared to play against the Los Angeles Dodgers last weekend. He pla...
