The White Sox are on a three-game winning streak thanks, in part, to veteran outfielder Tommy Pham's arrival to the team on Friday. Pham, 36, spent the first part of the season in Triple-A Charlotte with the Knights. Against the Rays, Pham recorded five hits and is now slashing .357/.357/.714 with the White Sox. Despite adding a much-needed spark to the roster, the 11-year veteran was left off the starting lineup card for Monday's contest against the Twins. With the White Sox needing to ride the high from this past weekend, many are wondering why he would be benched coming off a series sweep. "I'm just giving him a break," White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters. "I mean, he didn't have a spring training. He ran hard for three days. Everything he does is 100 percent. From the time he gets in here to the very last pitch of the game, he goes hard. So not having a spring training, I got to protect him, as well. Grifol also said Pham could pinch hit in Monday's game. The White Sox signed Pham to a minor league contract on April 16 to add outfield depth.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
