Player Outlook
Lane Thomas took another improbable step forward last season, finishing as one of 19 MLB players to go 20-20 in 2023 while also surpassing the century mark in runs scored. It all added up to just a 109 wRC+ and 2.7 fWAR across 682 plate appearances, as Thomas' middling on-base percentage and defensive metrics dinged him. Traded twice earlier in his career, including in exchange for Jon Lester in 2021, Thomas was a popular name at the trade deadline, but Washington surprised many by holding onto the outfielder. While last season may very well go down as his career year, the Nationals clearly believe in the late bloomer's production. His low walk rate and issues with same-side pitching could catch up to him in time, but Thomas should be expected to be in the lineup every day under manager Dave Martinez to begin 2024.

  • Guardians' Lane Thomas: Blasts first homer with Guardians

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run homer and a stolen base in Monday's 4-2 win over the Royals. Thomas put his team ahead in the fifth inning with his ninth home run of the season off Michael Wacha. It was Thomas' first homer in 30 games since joining the Guardians, and he snapped a streak of 213 at-bats without a home run, which was the eighth longest active streak in MLB among all hitters. The 29-year-old continues to run plenty as he picked up his 32nd steal of the season, which ties him for eighth most in MLB. His .551 OPS since joining Cleveland has resulted in a reduced role, but he could reclaim a more regular spot in the lineup with a hot start to September.

  • Guardians' Lane Thomas: Racks up three hits in win

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates. Thomas was one of five Guardians to post multiple hits in the win. This was his third multi-hit effort in 29 games with the team since he was traded from the Nationals -- Thomas has hit .176 as a Guardian. That has dropped his slash line to .236/.316/.366 with eight home runs, 44 RBI, 52 runs scored and 31 stolen bases across 106 contests this season.

  • Guardians' Lane Thomas: Absent from lineup

    Rotowire
    Thomas is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Royals. Thomas started two of the first three games of the series and entered mid-game in the other contest. He will begin the series finale on the bench while Will Brennan plays center field and Jhonkensy Noel start in right field.

  • Guardians' Lane Thomas: Hitting bench against righty

    Rotowire
    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.

  • Guardians' Lane Thomas: Reaches 30-steal mark

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rangers. Thomas has two steals over his last nine games, but he's gone just 4-for-22 (.182) with two walks and 12 strikeouts in that span. The outfielder is batting just .132 as a Guardian, which has seen him slip into a part-time role after being a full-time option when he was traded from the Nationals. Thomas has a .231/.309/.367 slash line with 30 steals, eight home runs, 42 RBI and 49 runs scored over 99 contests this season.

  • Guardians' Lane Thomas: Sitting against righty again

    Rotowire
    Thomas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees. Thomas has gone just 7-for-59 at the plate since joining the Guardians in late July, and the prolonged slide seems to have cost him a spot in the club's everyday lineup. He's now started just six of the last 12 contests, with each of those absences coming against right-handed pitchers. With Thomas on the bench Thursday, Tyler Freeman will pick up a start in center field.

  • Guardians' Lane Thomas: Absent from Cleveland lineup

    Rotowire
    Thomas is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Yankees. Thomas' dreadful start since joining the Guardians (7-for-59) has meant being less than an everyday player the last couple weeks, as he's now started just six of the last 12 contests. Tyler Freeman will be in center field and Will Brennan will patrol right.

  • Guardians' Lane Thomas: Not starting Friday

    Rotowire
    Thomas is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against Milwaukee. Jhonkensy Noel will start in right field and bat seventh against Brewers right-hander Aaron Civale. Thomas has slashed .104/.204/.146 with one stolen base and a 38.9 percent strikeout rate across 53 plate appearances since being acquired by the Guardians in late July.

  • Guardians' Lane Thomas: First steal with new team

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 0-for-2 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Cubs. Thomas is hitting just .104 over 14 contests with the Guardians, which largely explains why this was his first steal since he was traded from the Nationals. He's also struck out 21 times since the trade. The outfielder is still expected to handle a majority of the playing time in center field, but until he can find more consistency at the plate, he'll be pressured by Will Brennan, Daniel Schneemann and Tyler Freeman. Thomas is slashing .233/.314/.371 with 29 steals, eight home runs, 40 RBI and 47 runs scored across 91 contests between Cleveland and Washington.

  • Guardians' Lane Thomas: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Thomas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins. Thomas has struggled to a .363 OPS in 11 games since being acquired by Cleveland, and he'll head to the bench for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota. Daniel Schneemann will shift to center field while Brayan Rocchio receives a start at shortstop.

  • Guardians' Lane Thomas: Headed to Cleveland

    Rotowire
    The Guardians acquired Thomas from the Nationals on Monday in exchange for left-hander Alex Clemmey and infielders Jose Tena and Rafael Ramirez, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Cleveland will get a high-impact right-handed bat in Thomas, who is hitting .326 against southpaws this season. He also brings plenty of speed with 28 stolen bases, though he has been caught stealing an MLB-high 12 times. Thomas is under club control through 2025 and should immediately supplant either Will Brennan for an everyday spot in the Cleveland outfield. Since the beginning of July, Thomas has slashed .287/.398/.379 with 11 stolen bases, eight doubles and six RBI across 100 plate appearances.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Nabs steal in blowout win

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Saturday's 14-3 win over the Cardinals. Thomas is 6-for-26 (.231) with five steals over eight games since the All-Star break. The speedy outfielder is up to 28 thefts this season, though he's needed 40 attempts to get there. He's added a .250/.329/.399 slash line with eight home runs, 39 RBI, 42 runs scored, 14 doubles and three triples over 76 contests.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Pilfers 24th bag

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Reds. The outfielder continues to do damage on the basepaths in July. Thomas is up to 24 steals on the season, and seven of them have come in his last 12 games -- a stretch in which he's batting .319 (15-for-47). His homer drought stands at 24 games, however, something that won't help the Nationals extract maximum value for the 28-year-old if they elect to move him at the trade deadline.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: On base four times in loss

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 2-for-2 with two walks in Thursday's loss to the Mets. The Nationals wound up getting shut out, but that was no fault of Thomas'. The 28-year-old hasn't homered in 20 straight games but he's hardly been struggling during that stretch, slashing .293/.376/.415 with six doubles, two triples, six steals, 13 runs and 13 RBI.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Nabs steal No. 20

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 2-for-6 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's extra-innings loss to the Cardinals. The 28-year-old stole a career-high 20 bags in 157 games last season, but Thomas has massively ramped up his aggressiveness on the basepaths in 2024. Through only 59 contests, he's already matched those 20 steals in 26 attempts. He's also regaining last year's form at the plate, and over his last 15 games he's slashing .266/.329/.469 with nine of his 17 hits (six doubles, two triples and a homer) going for extra bases.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Swipes two bags in win

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Thursday's win against the Mets. Thomas had his fifth game of the season with multiple stolen bases, which is the second most in MLB behind Elly De La Cruz (eight). Thomas already has 19 steals in 58 games this season, one away from the career high he set last season in 156 contests. The 28-year-old continues to be a solid producer since returning from a knee injury in late May, slashing .268/.327/.504 with six homers and 25 RBI over his last 36 games.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Drives in four runs

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 3-for-6 with a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over Colorado. Thomas finished a home run shy of the cycle as he stuffed the stat sheet Friday. He knocked an RBI single in the third inning and a two-run double in the fourth before capping his day off with an RBI triple in the sixth. Thomas struggled early in the year, but in 24 games since returning from a knee injury he's gone 27-for-94 (.287) with 13 extra-base hits and 18 RBI.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Pops eighth homer

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks. The 28-year-old outfielder took Ryne Nelson deep in the third inning to give the Nationals an early lead that quickly slipped away. Thomas had a tough start to the season due to injuries, but he appears healthy now and back in his 2023 form. He's hit safely in 11 of the last 13 games, slashing .292/.345/.667 over that stretch with five of his eight homers on the year and 12 of his 23 runs.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Stays hot with homer

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win against Miami. Thomas is red-hot, hitting a home run for the third consecutive game and extending his hitting streak to 10 games. During the streak, the 28-year-old is batting .351 with four home runs, eight RBI, nine runs scored and one stolen base.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Homers vs. Miami

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Friday's 8-1 win over the Marlins. Thomas provided the big blow in the Nationals' seven-run third inning with a homer off Shaun Anderson, his fifth long ball this season. The 28-year-old outfielder extended his hit streak to eight games -- he's gone 10-for-29 (.345) in that span. Overall, Thomas is slashing .231/.295/.359 with 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and 16 stolen bases through 40 games this year.
