Pham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Dominic Fletcher will fill in as the White Sox's starting center fielder after Pham had been included in the lineup in each of the last 26 games. Pham has been one of Chicago's most productive hitters since signing with the team in April, but he's fallen into a 0-for-12 funk at the plate over his last three starts.

Rotowire
Pham went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
Pham got the White Sox on the board when he took Toronto reliever Genesis Cabrera deep in the eighth inning.

The veteran outfielder is slashing .316/.356/.474 with three homers, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored and three steals across 101 plate appearances.

Pham has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, slashing .385/.429/.538 over that stretch with a homer, two steals, four runs and seven RBI.
