Mets' Tommy Pham: Mashes homer No. 10
Rotowire
Pham went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 11-6 loss to the Nationals.
He took Patrick Corbin deep in the fourth inning, the first of four Mets homers on the night, but New York was already in an 8-1 hole at that point. The homer was also Pham's first in July as he's had trouble staying healthy since the All-Star break, but the 35-year-old outfielder still figures to draw plenty of interest at the trade deadline given his solid .270/.350/.474 slash line with 10 homers, 11 steals, 29 runs and 36 RBI through 263 plate appearances on the season.

Mets' Tommy Pham: More groin discomfort
Rotowire
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.
