Pham isn't in Kansas City's lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta. The Royals clinched a playoff berth Friday, so the team will sit many of their usual starters Saturday -- including Pham. His absence will put Salvador Perez into the DH role while Freddy Fermin catches for Seth Lugo.

Pham is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants. It'll be Pham's first off day in September, snapping a streak of 17 consecutive starts. During that span, the outfielder has split time between DH (four games), left field (six games) and right field (seven games). MJ Melendez, Kyle Isbel and Adam Frazier fill the outfield from left to right Saturday while Yuli Gurriel slots in at DH.

Pham went 3-for-4 with a walk in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Yankees. Pham's bat has been hot in September -- he's gone 13-for-41 (.317) over 10 contests this month. He has five multi-hit efforts in that span, and his ability to get on base at a high rate has helped him take over as the Royals' leadoff hitter. Between three teams this season, the veteran outfielder has a .261/.325/.392 slash line with nine home runs, seven stolen bases, 36 RBI and 45 runs scored over 418 plate appearances.
