Overview

  • The IL assignment, retroactive to July 5, marks Thomas’s third stint on the injured list this season due to recurring right-foot plantar fasciitis.
  • Infielder Will Wilson was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to take Thomas’s roster spot and bolster Cleveland’s infield depth.
  • He has missed a combined 39 games after bruising his wrist in April and battling plantar fasciitis in late May and early June.
  • The veteran is batting .160 with four home runs and 11 RBIs in 142 plate appearances while struggling to maintain his usual offensive production.
  • With Cleveland on a nine-game losing streak, the Guardians will rely on depth options in right field as they enter the second half of the season.
