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.

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.
