The program lists Memphis Redbirds outfielder Tommy Pham at 6-1 and 175 pounds, measurements most likely recorded during his physical exam when he was drafted in the 16th round by the St. Louis Cardinals from Durango High School in 2006.

The 26-year-old has added substantial bulk since then, judging by his chiseled upper body that looks befitting of a defensive back in football. Let’s go with 205. That’s more like it.

“They encouraged me to gain weight and muscle mass to stay healthy and make me more durable,” Pham said in the corridor outside the visitors’ locker room at Cashman Field.

The way Las Vegas product Kris Bryant is tearing up the Double-A Southern League, there’s a good possibility he could make his Major League debut with the parent Chicago Cubs by the end of the season.

Bryant, a 6-5, 215-pound third baseman from Bonanza High School and University of San Diego, was named Southern League Player of the Week on June 2, his second such honor this season. He smashed four home runs during the week and hit over .400 with 12 bombs during the month of May.

Former Cy Young Award winner Frank Viola will join the Las Vegas 51s as pitching coach next week after recovering from open-heart surgery in April, the team announced Friday.

Viola, 54, had been hired as the 51s pitching coach to open the season, but underwent surgery on April 2 after a spring-training physical detected an irregularity in his heartbeat. Tom Signore replaced Viola and will become pitching coach for the Brooklyn Cyclones in the New York-Penn League when play starts June 13.

Viola, who spent three years as N.Y. Mets Class A pitching coach, will be working with a depleted staff in Las Vegas. The Mets called up Jacob deGrom, Rafael Montero and Vic Black in May. Veteran Diasuke Matsuzaka was called up in April. Noah Syndergaard, who leads the team in wins and strikeouts, was placed on the disabled list with a strained muscle in his right forearm.
