Cardinals' Tommy Pham back out of lineup on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham is not in the lineup for Saturday's home game against the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

Pham spent a few days out of the lineup before starting on Friday night. He went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs, but the team is going to take it easy with him for the foreseeable future. As he sits, Matt Carpenter will leadoff as Dexter Fowler enters in the field and Harrison Bader takes over in center field.

Our models project Pham for 19 dingers, 64 RBI and a .260 average the remainder of the 2018 season.
