Dodgers' Alek Thomas: Designated for assignment
The Dodgers designated Thomas for assignment Saturday.
Thomas spent some time with the big-league club in late August but was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sept. 1. He'd been hitting well since his return to OKC, going 4-for-15 with three homers, four RBI and a stolen base over three games, but Los Angeles DFA'd him to make room on the 40-man roster for Bobby Miller (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day injured list.

Dodgers' Alek Thomas: Demoted to Triple-A
The Dodgers optioned Thomas to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Thomas has been starting regularly in center field against right-handed pitching since getting called up by the Dodgers on Aug. 22, but he won't stay in the majors after going 4-for-19 with a double and three RBI in his first seven games for Los Angeles. Enrique Hernandez and Tommy Edman figure to split time in center field going forward for the Dodgers.

Dodgers' Alek Thomas: Will see regular reps versus righties
Thomas will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.
After Thomas was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday in response to Andy Pages (hand) landing on the injured list, manager Dave Roberts told Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic that the left-handed-hitting Thomas would play regularly in center field versus right-handed pitching. True to Roberts' word, Thomas finds himself in the lineup for a second straight matchup versus a righty, after he went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win in his Los Angeles debut.

Dodgers' Alek Thomas: En route to majors
The Dodgers recalled Thomas from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.
With Andy Pages set to miss 4-to-5 weeks with a fractured hand, the Dodgers will turn to Thomas to bolster their outfield depth. Since joining the organization in May, the 26-year-old has slashed .296/.362/.493 with seven home runs, 40 RBI, 33 runs and four steals across 249 plate appearances at Triple-A. He'll likely be in the mix with Alex Call and Tommy Edman to start in center field.

Dodgers' Alek Thomas: Dealt to Dodgers
The Dodgers acquired Thomas from the Diamondbacks on Tuesday in exchange for Jose Requena, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Thomas had been designated for assignment and is now on the move after an intra-division trade. The 26-year-old is a slick defensive center fielder but has managed just a .230/.273/.361 batting line over nearly 1,500 career plate appearances at the major-league level. Thomas has minor-league options remaining and will likely be assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City initially. He will be under team control through the 2028 season.

Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Jettisoned from 40-man roster
The Diamondbacks designated Thomas for assignment Friday.
Thomas is a gifted defensive center fielder, but the bat hasn't come around, as he sports a career .230/.273/.361 slash line over nearly 1,500 plate appearances at the major-league level. He just turned 26 and is under team control through 2028, so Thomas should draw interest via waivers from teams in need of center field help.

Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Absent against lefty again
Thomas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
The left-handed hitter will be left out of the lineup for the second straight day while the Diamondbacks face off against another lefty starter in Matthew Boyd. Jorge Barrosa will fill in for Thomas in center field.

Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Belts homer in loss
Thomas went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Padres.
Thomas finished off the Diamondbacks' four-run second inning to take an early lead, but the offense was shut down the rest of the way. It was the second home run in three games for Thomas, who is not known for his power. He did, however, knock an extra-base hit for a sixth consecutive game, during which Thomas is 8-for-22 with four doubles, two home runs and five RBI.

Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Heading to bench vs. lefty
Thomas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
The White Sox are sending left-hander Anthony Kay to the bump, so the left-handed hitting Thomas will hit the bench after starting in Arizona's previous three games. Jorge Barrosa will be included in the lineup in Thomas' place Wednesday, batting ninth while occupying center field.

Diamondbacks' Jorge Barrosa: Homers off bench
Barrosa went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 10-4 loss to the Blue Jays.
Barrosa entered the game as a defensive replacement for Corbin Carroll (back), but Carroll is expected to be fine for Tuesday versus the White Sox, per Alex D'Agostino of SI.com. As long as the Diamondbacks have their preferred outfield of Lourdes Gurriel, Alek Thomas and Carroll (from left to right) available, Barrosa is likely to be limited to a part-time role at best, though he could carve out some at-bats as a switch hitter. Barrosa's homer was his first of the season to go with five RBI, seven runs scored, seven doubles, one triple and a .243/.283/.480 slash line over 55 plate appearances.

Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Taking seat against Skubal
Thomas is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Tigers.
With ace southpaw Tarik Skubal toeing the slab for the Tigers, the left-handed-swinging Thomas will begin the contest on the bench. Jordan Lawlar will slide over to center field and Tim Tawa will grab a start in left field for the Diamondbacks.

Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Drives in three in loss
Thomas went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, three RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Thomas did some damage from the No. 8 spot in the order in this contest to avenge his 0-for-3 performance to open the season Thursday. The outfielder looks to be the early favorite for time in center field, though he and Jordan Lawlar may swap between left and center at times. Thomas went 10-for-31 (.323) with six extra-base hits in spring training, and if he can keep the bat hot earlier in the year, he should find himself in an everyday role. He slashed .249/.289/.370 with nine home runs, 19 doubles, three triples, 38 RBI, 51 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 469 plate appearances in the 2025 regular season.
