White Sox call up OF Tommy Pham

The Chicago White Sox called up outfielder Tommy Pham from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

The White Sox also selected the contract of outfielder Rafael Ortega from Charlotte, optioned outfielder Dominic Fletcher to the Triple-A club and designated journeyman outfielder Kevin Pillar and left-hander Bailey Horn for assignment.

The White Sox signed Pham to a minor league deal on April 16. He hit .294 (5-for-17) with a double, an RBI and two stolen bases in four games at Charlotte.

Pham, 36, spent time with the New York Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks last season, playing in 129 games.
