Alek Thomas To Play In Games This Week
6 months agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks plan on outfielder Alek Thomas (hamstring) playing in minor-league rehab games this week as he continues to work back from a hamstring strain. Thomas is on track to serve as the designated hitter in an Arizona Complex League game on Thursday if he feels good leading up to that day. "He's running the bases and doing most of the things that we're looking for," manager Torey Lovullo said. "Some of the moves on the bases and some of the moves in the outfield are still coming." Thomas was put on the 10-day injured list on April 1 and went on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on May 3, but he was shut down after three games with more hamstring pain. The 24-year-old has yet to really make a mark offensively in the big leagues, so he can probably be left to the waiver wire in most mixed leagues, even after he returns.
