Thomas is out of the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader with the Royals.
Thomas looks to be at risk of moving into a platoon role in the Cleveland outfield, as he'll take a seat for the third time in the Guardians' last four matchups with right-handed starting pitchers. Will Brennan will cover center field in Game 2 in place of Thomas, who started against a lefty (Cole Ragans) in the Guardians' 4-3 loss earlier in the day and went 1-for-4 with a walk.
