Overview

  • Lane Thomas has been placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to April 20 due to a bruised right wrist sustained on April 8 against the Chicago White Sox.
  • Thomas appeared in five games after the injury, recording just two hits in 15 at-bats with five strikeouts before being sidelined.
  • Infielder Will Wilson, batting .324 with six home runs and 18 RBIs in Triple-A, has been promoted to the Guardians' active roster for his MLB debut.
  • Wilson, a 26-year-old former first-round draft pick, has shown consistent offensive production in recent Triple-A games, including homers in three of his last four outings.
  • To accommodate Wilson on the 40-man roster, reliever Trevor Stephan, recovering from Tommy John surgery, was moved to the 60-day injured list.
