Lane Thomas Dealing with Minor Plantar Fasciitis Symptoms
Lane Thomas (foot) left Friday's 2-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers with mild plantar fasciitis symptoms in his right foot. He exited in the sixth inning after going 0-for-2. The Guardians replaced Thomas in center field with Nolan Jones and brought in Johnathan Rodriguez to play right. Thomas has already spent time on the 10-day injured list twice this year, including once for plantar fasciitis in his right foot. However, manager Stephen Vogt downplayed the severity of the injury after the game. "We think he's good," Vogt told The Associated Press. "The plantar fasciitis flared up a little bit again and I just didn't like the way he looked running around the outfield. So rather than take a chance, I got him out of there." After averaging 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases per year from 2022-24, Thomas has fallen off during his injury-plagued campaign this season. He's hitting .160/.246/.272 with four homers and four steals in 142 trips to the plate.
