Overview

• Surgeon David Porter performed a surgical release of the plantar fascia on Thomas’s right foot Tuesday in Indianapolis.
• Thomas remains on the 15-day injured list as the Guardians monitor roster needs, with a potential move to the 60-day IL if a 40-man spot is required.
• He was limited to 39 games this year and hit .160/.246/.272 with four home runs and 11 RBI.
• The foot issues began after his 2024 trade to Cleveland and persisted despite rest and cortisone injections, following an April IL stint for a right wrist bone bruise.
• He is set to reach free agency after the season, making his post-surgery health a key factor for interested teams.
