Thomas was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday.
Thomas worked on his swing mechanics after being sent down to Reno a month ago. He considered ditching his leg kick but eventually settled on a proper weight transfer while keeping an altered version of the kick. With that adjustment, he batted .348/.409/.518 with three home runs and two stolen bases over 26 games to earn another shot in the majors. Granted, it's a very favorable environment he was hitting in, but it will be interesting to see whether Thomas can carry over the adjustments at the major-league level. He could push Pavin Smith for playing time.
