Tommy Pham in Cardinals' lineup Thursday to start second half

St. Louis Cardinals center fielder Tommy Pham is starting in Thursday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs.

What It Means:

Pham will replace Harrison Bader (knee) in center field and bat eighth versus Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks. He managed to end a six-game hitless streak as a pinch-hitter in the final game before the All-Star break after Bader was forced to make an early exit with a knee injury.
