Lane Thomas Takes On-Field Batting Practice
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Lane Thomas (foot) took on-field batting practice on Monday, and the team is hopeful that he can return at some point in September, according to manager Stephen Vogt. However, there is still no timetable for Thomas to return from plantar fasciitis in his right foot that landed him on the injured list on July 6. Even in deeper fantasy leagues, there's just not much incentive to keep Thomas stashed at this point. The 30-year-old veteran has been injured for most of the year in his first season with Cleveland. He has played in only 39 games to this point and hasn't been good when he's been healthy, either, going 20-for-125 (.160) with four home runs, 11 RBI, 10 runs and four stolen bases. With Thomas still away from the team, the Guards will continue to trot Angel Martinez out as their primary center fielder.
