ATH Right Fielder #32

Player Stats

Colby Thomas (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Twins.

There’s been zero indication that Thomas is headed to the injured list despite sitting for the fourth consecutive game. The 25-year-old was diagnosed with a left wrist contusion after being hit by a pitch earlier this week. He remains day-to-day for the moment.

Derek Hill left Saturday’s game against the Cardinals due to neck stiffness.

Justin Crawford took his place. If Hill needs to go on the IL, the Phillies could call up Colby Thomas, who was acquired from the A’s at the trade deadline.
Colby Thomas

PHI Right Fielder #32

Phillies acquired OF Colby Thomas from the Athletics for RHP Seth Johnson.

This unexpected swap came in right at the buzzer. Thomas winds up in Philadelphia, where he figures to get a chance at some point in the final two months, after being shipped to the minors last weekend. The 25-year-old former top prospect hit just .202/.235/.333 with four homers and one steal in 121 plate appearances for the Athletics this season.

ATH Right Fielder #32

Athletics optioned OF Colby Thomas to Triple-A Las Vegas.

The Athletics had plenty of outfield depth on their major league roster and wanted to add an extra infielder instead for their weekend series against the Tigers so Thomas gets the boot. The 25-year-old has hit just .202/.235/.333 with four homers, 11 RBI and a 37/4 K/BB ratio in 121 plate appearances with the A’s this season.

Colby Thomas (wrist) is in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Red Sox.

Thomas returned to the Athletics’ lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Twins after missing four games with a left wrist bruise. The 25-year-old former prospect is in left field and hitting cleanup against Boston rookie lefty Peyton Tolle on Monday night in West Sacramento.

Colby Thomas (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

Thomas was diagnosed with a left wrist contusion after being hit by a pitch during Monday’s series opener against Arizona. He’s day-to-day for now. It’ll be Lawrence Butler in right field in his absence.

ATH Right Fielder #32

Colby Thomas was diagnosed with a left wrist contusion after leaving Monday’s game following a HBP.

Thomas is day-to-day. The D-backs are throwing another lefty on Tuesday, so Thomas would be in line to start. However, if he can’t go, Lawrence Butler will probably play right field.

ATH Right Fielder #32

Colby Thomas was removed from Monday’s game against the Diamondbacks after being hit by a pitch.

Lawrence Butler took over for Thomas in right field to open the fourth inning after he was hit by a pitch on the left hand area earlier in the contest. He’ll head for X-rays to determine whether he suffered any fractures.
Tyler Soderstrom

ATH Left Fielder #21

Tyler Soderstrom (hip) has not resumed baseball activities.

Soderstrom landed on the 10-day injured list with a left hip impingement on Jun 29th, and the expectation remains that he will return after the All-Star break. However, we’ll need to see him resume some activities this week before we can be confident he will return right after the break. In the meantime, Carlos Cortes will continue to start against right-handed pitchers, with Colby Thomas starting against lefties. The Athletics will see three lefties in their next six games.

ATH Right Fielder #32

Colby Thomas went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Thomas knocked a base hit in the second inning, then later drove in two of the A’s three runs with a two-run homer off Justin Wrobleski. It was Thomas’s fourth straight start, all against left-handed pitching. He’s up to four homers and ten RBI while hitting .238/.274/.413 across 85 plate appearances.

ATH Right Fielder #32

Colby Thomas is hitting third on Tuesday against the Angels.

Thomas gets a chance to face Angels lefty Reid Detmers in his first start since May 13. The 25-year-old rookie has performed well in limited opportunities this season, hitting .345 (10-for-29) with one homer and three RBI in 10 games since being called up back on April 22. The harsh reality is that simply isn’t a regular role for Thomas with Carlos Cortes, Brent Rooker, Tyler Soderstrom, Henry Bolte and Lawrence Butler all needing at-bats.
