Alek Thomas Hitting Seventh In Game 1

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas is in the lineup for Game 1 of the World Series, hitting seventh for the away team. Thomas will likely sit against a left-handed starter, such as Jordan Montgomery or Andrew Heaney, but he will likely start when a righty is on the mound. Thomas is an excellent defensive center fielder, credited with six outs above average this season, but has had his struggles at the plate. The 23-year-old is hitting .212 during the postseason with four home runs.

Alek Thomas Plays The Hero In Game 4

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit, two-run home run in a 6-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 4 of the NLCS on Friday. Thomas started this game on the bench as the Phillies went with southpaw Cristopher Sanchez as their starter. The D-Backs were facing a 5-3 deficit in the bottom of the eighth inning before Lourdes Gurriel Jr. doubled off Craig Kimbrel to set the stage for Alek Thomas, who replaced Emmanuel Rivera as a pinch-hitter. Thomas then cranked a two-run shot to right-center field and tied the game. Ketel Marte would single and come around to score via a Gabriel Moreno single later in the frame. The series is now tied at two games apiece and heads back to Philadelphia on Saturday. Thomas, who has mostly struggled this postseason, has still delivered some big hits. He's slashing just .192/.241/.538 across 26 at-bats but he does have three home runs and five RBI to go along with that poor batting line.

Alek Thomas Retreats To The Bench

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas will remain out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's Game 4 against the Philadelphia Phillies. The D-Backs will stick with their Game 3 lineup here. That means, Thomas will sit out his second straight game against a left-handed starting pitcher. Possibly, Thomas comes off the bench as a pinch-hitter later in the contest. Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Corbin Carroll and Tommy Pham will patrol the outfield in Game 4.

Alek Thomas Out Of Game 3 Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas will take a seat for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series on Thursday with the Philadelphia Phillies throwing left-hander Ranger Suarez. Corbin Carroll will start in center field and bat second, while Emmanuel Rivera will play third base and bat in the eight-hole. Evan Longoria is the designated hitter and is batting seventh. The 23-year-old Thomas hits the bench after hitting just .143 in 81 trips to the plate against lefties during the regular season. He's also gone just 4-for-24 (.167) with two homers, three RBI, eight strikeouts and three runs scored in seven postseason games so far this year. Rivera is 2-for-8 in his career against Suarez with two doubles, four RBI and a strikeout.

Diamondbacks Give Extension To Mike Hazen

The Arizona Diamondbacks agreed to a contract extension with general manager Mike Hazen on Wednesday, locking him up for a deal that is guaranteed through the 2028 season with a club option for an additional year, according to sources. Financial terms of the extension were not disclosed. The deal was worked out sometime in the last two weeks. Arizona also extended the contracts of assistant general managers Amiel Sawdaye and Mike Fitzgerald to deals of the same length. Hazen joined the D-backs in 2016 and led the team to the postseason in 2017 and again this year. He oversaw the drafting of outfielders Corbin Carroll and Alek Thomas and pitcher Brandon Pfaadt and acquired catcher Gabriel Moreno, ace Zac Gallen and second baseman Ketel Marte via trades.

Alek Thomas Out Of The Lineup Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas is not in the starting lineup Saturday afternoon against the Chicago Cubs. The 23-year-old started in center field on Friday and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in his team's narrow 1-0 win but Corbin Carroll will take over center field duties on Saturday afternoon. Although he boasts excellent defense, Thomas has struggled mightily at the dish this season. He's hitting just .238 with eight homers, nine stolen bases, and a .698 OPS across 333 trips to the plate in the big leagues, production that grades out 23% below the league average, as per his 77 wRC+. A poor 4.8% BB% has undoubtedly contributed to his metrics at the plate but Thomas does have a solid combination of power and speed that could potentially put him on the fantasy radar in 2024.
