Athletics outfielder Colby Thomas (wrist) said he felt better and was available off of the bench on Wednesday against the D-backs.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas is listed as day to day with a left wrist contusion, but it appears he could be in line to return for Friday's series opener against the Twins. The 25-year-old is hitting .204 with four homers and a .591 OPS across 50 games this season.

Thomas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas made six consecutive starts in the corner outfield from June 27 through last Friday, but he now finds himself on the bench for the third time in four games. All three of those absences have come against right-handed pitching, as Thomas looks like he'll have to settle for a short-side platoon role with Carlos Cortes having heated back up at the plate and earned himself more opportunities versus righties at Thomas' expense.

Thomas went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas continued his recent success at the plate with his seventh-inning blast. He has homered in consecutive contests and has gone 5-for-12 over his last four games while seeing some steady playing time while the Athletics are missing Tyler Soderstrom (hip) and Brent Rooker (knee) from the outfield mix. Thomas is batting .238 with a .687 OPS, four homers, 10 RBI, 10 runs scored, two doubles and a stolen base over 85 plate appearances this season.

Thomas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-4 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas picked up his first multi-hit effort since May 13 versus the Cardinals. He's largely filled a platoon role at best during his time in the majors this season, but injuries are piling up for the Athletics, which has opened the door for him to get more playing time recently. The outfielder is batting just .221 with a .623 OPS, three homers, eight RBI, nine runs scored and one stolen base over 82 plate appearances. Thomas will need to take advantage of his opportunities to maintain more playing time in the near future.

Thomas will start in left field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The right-handed-hitting Thomas will stick in the lineup for a third straight game while the Athletics face another lefty starter (Eric Lauer), but the 25-year-old could begin to get more looks versus right-handed pitching, too. The Athletics deactivated Tyler Soderstrom (hip) and Jacob Wilson (thumb) on Monday, with the two joining Brent Rooker (knee) and Zack Gelof (hand) on a growing injured list. Thomas could end up serving as the primary replacement in left field for Soderstrom, though the Athletics might prefer to give Carlos Cortes another look in a strong-side platoon run.

Thomas went 1-for-3 with one RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas' steal was his first of the campaign. The outfielder has largely filled a depth role this season. Prior to Saturday, he went 0-for-16 with seven strikeouts across his previous nine games, so he hasn't done much at all to make a case for more playing time. He's batting .211 with a .577 OPS, two home runs, seven RBI, eight runs scored and two doubles over 76 plate appearances.

Thomas went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 14-6 victory over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas got in on the Athletics' offensive onslaught early, connecting on an opposite-field double to plate two runs in the third inning as the club went on to tally a season high in runs scored. The outfielder has seen sporadic at-bats, playing almost exclusively against left-handed pitching, but he has fared well when called upon in 2026. Thomas is slashing .344/.382/.500 with a homer, two doubles, five RBI and four runs across 35 plate appearances.
