Player Outlook
Pointing out that Alek Thomas enjoyed a career year is faint praise, considering his personal best 81 wRC+ was well below average. Furthermore, his strikeout rate was a career worst, and he relied on a .324 BABIP, which was not supported by his falling hard hit rate. Not to pile on, but Thomas graded among the weakest defenders in center field. His ground ball rate dropped to a career-low 52.1 percent last season, which continued to cap already modest power. While he owns 75th-percentile sprint speed, it has little effect alongside a .289 OBP. Thomas is slated to open the season in center field, but with the Diamondbacks reshaping their roster, his role is far from secure and his place with the organization is not assured.

  • Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Three-game hit streak

    Rotowire
    Thomas started in center field and went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's spring game against Texas. Thomas made his third spring appearance and has hits in all three contests. Following injuries to fellow outfielders Corbin Carroll (hand) and Lourdes Gurriel (knee), the plan is to have Thomas get reps at corner outfield, though he's been used in center field for two of his three games. He'll get a few more chances in camp before jetting off to Houston for the World Baseball Classic as a member of Team Mexico.

  • Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Settles with Diamondbacks

    Rotowire
    The Diamondbacks and Thomas avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.9625 million contract Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. Thomas was in his first year of arbitration eligibility. The 25-year-old is regarded as a plus defender in center field but has not progressed offensively, finishing 2025 with a .249/.289/.370 batting line. If he's still with the team on Opening Day, Thomas figures to again receive the bulk of the reps in center field.

  • Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Could be traded

    Rotowire
    According to sources, Thomas or Jake McCarthy will likely be traded during the offseason, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. The Diamondbacks haven't determined which player will stay or go, but there are cost savings to be had. Thomas is considered the better defender while McCarthy has been more productive with a bat in hand, but neither has taken hold of the everyday job in center field. Potential replacements include Blaze Alexander, Jorge Barrosa and Tim Tawa. Jordan Lawlar, who has played a handful of games in center field during winter ball, is also an option.

  • Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Taking seat against southpaw

    Rotowire
    Thomas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. Southpaw Ranger Suarez is on the bump for Arizona, so the left-handed-hitting Thomas will exit the lineup and receive his first day off since Sept. 9. Jorge Barrosa will replace Thomas in center field and will bat ninth.

  • Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Hits first homer since Aug. 4

    Rotowire

Thomas hadn't hit a home run since Aug. 4, but he gave the Diamondbacks the early lead with a two-run shot in the fourth. The 25-year-old outfielder has nine home runs this season, which ties his career high from the 2023 campaign. Thomas has struggled at the plate over his last 15 games, having gone 5-for-33 (.152) over that span.

  • Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Bowing out of starting nine

    Rotowire
    Thomas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. The left-handed-hitting Thomas had been included in the lineup in each of the Diamondbacks' last three matchups versus left-handed starting pitchers, but he'll take a seat Monday as the Rangers send southpaw Patrick Corbin to the bump. Blaze Alexander has been seeing most of his playing time at third base and second base of late but will cover center field in place of Thomas in the series opener.

The 25-year-old is now slashing .251/.295/.380 with 40 runs scored and 33 RBI in 363 total plate appearances.

  • Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Continues August surge

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 2-for-5 with two doubles in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to Texas. Thomas continued a surge this month and has gone 12-for-32 (.375) with two doubles, two home runs, five RBI and five runs over nine August games. His bat has always trailed his glove in the majors -- Thomas entered the year with a .629 OPS over his first three seasons -- but he's shown modest improvement in 2025. The 24-year-old outfielder is slashing .256/.302/.395 with eight home runs, 32 RBI and 39 runs over 102 contests.

  • Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Goes yard in Monday's win

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 win over the Padres. Thomas has opened August hot, going 9-for-15 (.600) over the first four games of the month. He had just two multi-hit efforts in all of July. The outfielder has gone deep three times in his last six games and is up to eight homers on the year. He's added a .260/.308/.401 slash line with 30 RBI, 38 runs scored, five stolen bases, 13 doubles and two triples over 97 contests. Monday's performance moved his OPS over .700 for the first time since June 11.

  • Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Taking seat Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Thomas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers. The left-handed-hitting Thomas will get a rare day off against a righty (Chris Paddack) while the Diamondbacks clear room in the lineup for Jorge Barrosa, who will occupy center field in the series finale. Thomas started in both of the first two games of the series, going 1-for-6 with a solo home run and a walk.

  • Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Away from team

    Rotowire
    Arizona placed Thomas on the bereavement list on Thursday. Thomas will be away from the team while he tends to a personal matter. His spot on the 26-man active roster will be taken by outfielder Jorge Barrosa, who was recalled from Triple-A Reno. Thomas is slashing .246/.294/.366 in 292 plate appearances this season.

  • Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Sitting again versus lefty

    Rotowire
    Thomas is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

  • Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Scratched from lineup

    Rotowire
    Thomas was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against San Diego due to right knee soreness, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. The D-backs are labeling Thomas as day-to-day, so a trip to the injured list doesn't seem imminent at the moment. He'll take Tuesday off to recover while Jake McCarthy moves to center field and Randal Grichuk enters the lineup as Arizona's DH.

He's up to a .249/.294/.367 slash line with four home runs, five stolen bases, 22 RBI, 27 runs scored, 10 doubles and two triples over 74 contests this season.
