Guardians' Lane Thomas: Back on IL with plantar fasciitis
The Guardians placed Thomas on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Cleveland recalled infielder Will Wilson from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move, but Angel Martinez is likely to serve as the Guardians' primary option in center field while Thomas is on the shelf. The 30-year-old outfielder is on the IL for the third time this season and for the second straight time with the same injury. He previously missed about two weeks in late May and early June with the foot issue.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Sitting out Saturday
Thomas (foot) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
Symptoms of plantar fasciitis forced Thomas to make an early exit from Friday's game, and it will now cost him a start Saturday. While he sits, Steven Kwan, Nolan Jones and Johnathan Rodriguez will start across the outfield for Cleveland.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Removed early Friday
Thomas was removed from Friday's game against the Tigers due to mild plantar fasciitis symptoms, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Thomas went 0-for-2 in Friday's contest before his foot forced him to make an early exit in the sixth inning. It remains to be seen how much time, if any, the 29-year-old will miss, though the Guardians should provide more details in the near future.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Homers again in win
Thomas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesdays' 5-4 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.
Thomas tied the game at 4-4 with a home run off Nick Sandlin in the sixth inning. The 29-year-old has now gone deep in back-to-back games and is 11-for-42 with an .830 OPS across 14 June contests. For the season, he's slashing just .178/.248/.277 with three homers, 10 RBI, seven runs scored and three steals over 113 plate appearances.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Goes deep in loss
Thomas went 2-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Blue Jays.
Thomas, who went 3-for-26 (.115) during the Guardians' recent road trip, returned to Cleveland on Tuesday and popped a home run for the second straight game at Progressive Field. He's battled a couple of injuries early this season that have limited Thomas to a mere 30 games. He's currently in his longest stretch of good health this season. Thomas has a .237/.341/.395 line with two home runs, six RBI, two steals and four runs over 13 games since returning from his most recent injury.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Pops first homer of season
Thomas went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 11-2 win over the Reds.
The 29-year-old outfielder put the cherry on top of the rout when he took Joe La Sorsa deep in the sixth inning. It was Thomas' first homer of the year in his 20th game as well as his first three-hit effort, as injuries have derailed the beginning to his campaign. He's started two of three games in center field since returning from his most recent IL stint, and even after Wednesday's big performance he's slashing just .164/.227/.224.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Thomas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Reds.
The Reds are sending left-hander Andrew Abbott to the bump, so this is likely more about easing Thomas back into action after he returned from the injured list Monday. Nolan Jones is in center field for the Guardians.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Productive in return
Thomas went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Reds.
It was Thomas' first appearance since May 26 following his second stint on the injured list this season, and he made his presence felt right away. Monday marked the first time all year that the speedy outfielder drew multiple walks, and he also stole his second base across 18 games this year. Thomas has mostly struggled at the plate -- he's hitting .129 with a lone extra-base hit and three RBI through 62 at-bats -- but it was encouraging to see him bat second in Cleveland's order for the fifth time in 2025.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Activated from 10-day IL
The Guardians activated Thomas (foot) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Thomas has been limited to only 17 games this season because of a wrist injury and more recently plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He did not go out on a rehab assignment during the most recent IL stint, but the Guardians are convinced the 29-year-old is ready to go. Thomas has just a .305 OPS this season, but with Angel Martinez having gone 4-for-38 over his last nine games, Thomas will likely get another chance to be the team's primary center fielder.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Works out before Saturday's game
Thomas (foot) went through a full pre-game workout Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Thomas, who was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to May 27, resumed running earlier this week and is eligible to return at any time. He was batting just .119 at the time of his IL placement, but if Thomas can find his swing after an injury-plagued start to the season, the Guardians could use him. Cleveland center fielders (.190) and right fielders (.179) rank last in batting average in MLB.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Resumes running
Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Wednesday that Thomas (foot) resumed running for the first time since being placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Thomas was diagnosed with right foot plantar fasciitis, but the Guardians don't anticipate a long stint on the IL, which suggests the 29-year-old outfielder may avoid a rehab assignment. Thomas was slashing .119/.169/.136 with one steal and three RBI over 65 plate appearances prior to his placement on the IL.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Lands on IL with foot injury
The Guardians placed Thomas on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to May 27, due to right foot plantar fasciitis, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Thomas was set to be out of the lineup for a third straight game, and his foot injury is severe enough for him to require a stint on the injured list for the second time this season. A corresponding move has yet to be announced, but Angel Martinez should see the bulk of the starts in center field for as long as Thomas is on the shelf. Thomas is slashing .119/.169/.136 with one steal and three RBI over 65 plate appearances this season.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Dealing with injury
Thomas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Thomas was left out of Cleveland's starting nine for a second consecutive game Wednesday, and it's now known that his absence is due to injury. The center fielder is having the injury looked at Wednesday, and he's expected to be day-to-day. The Guardians are off Thursday before starting a three-game homestand Friday against the Angels. Angel Martinez will patrol center field Wednesday.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Idle again Wednesday
Thomas isn't part of the starting nine for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Thomas is absent from the starting lineup for the second straight game. The 29-year-old is 0-for-14 with seven strikeouts since being activated from the injured list May 22, and he could continue to lose playing time to Angel Martinez if his struggles persist.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Serves as DH
Thomas started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Thomas moved from center field to DH as part of the domino effect created by Carlos Santana's leg injury. Kyle Manzardo covered first base for the injured veteran and Thomas slipped into the fifth spot in the order. Thomas is now hitless (0-for-14) in four games since coming off the injured list and saw his season average drop to .119 (7-for-59).

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Hitless since return
Thomas started in center field and went 0-for-4 with a walk in Saturday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Tigers.
Thomas made his second start since being activated off the injured list Wednesday and is 0-for-8 with an RBI. Cleveland center fielders currently rank last in MLB with a .504 OPS, which indicates Thomas may not have a secure hold on the center field job. Angel Martinez, Nolan Jones and Daniel Schneemann are also in the mix.

Guardians' Lane Thomas: Activated from IL
The Guardians reinstated Thomas (wrist) from the injured list Thursday.
A bone bruise in Thomas' right wrist has kept him on the injured list for the past month, but he's been given the green light to rejoin the active roster after going 8-for-24 with two homers, five RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base during his seven-game rehab assignment. The 29-year-old figures to slide back in as Cleveland's primary center fielder now that he's healthy, and he'll look to bounce back at the plate after starting the season with a .366 OPS through 48 plate appearances. Will Brennan (forearm) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.
