The 25-year-old... Read More

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.

Tommy Pham Remains In The Lineup For Game 7
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tommy Pham will remain in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's Game 7 against the Philadelphia Phillies.
