Thomas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Thomas had been included in the lineup in each of the Diamondbacks' last three matchups versus left-handed starting pitchers, but he'll take a seat Monday as the Rangers send southpaw Patrick Corbin to the bump. Blaze Alexander has been seeing most of his playing time at third base and second base of late but will cover center field in place of Thomas in the series opener.

Thomas isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
An 0-for-4 performance Friday snapped what had been a three-game multi-hit streak for Thomas, and the D-backs will now get him some rest against Tyler Glasnow and the Dodgers. Jake McCarthy will fill the void in center field and bat seventh.

Thomas went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was part of a productive lower third of the order that drove in all six of Arizona's runs. His third-inning single off Jose Quintana delivered the team's final two runs and held up as the game-winning knock. Those were his first RBI in nine contests. Thomas doesn't usually start against left-handers, but the center fielder found himself in the starting nine for a second straight game against a southpaw.

Thomas went 3-for-5 with a steal and one RBI in Sunday's 6-5 loss at Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
The Arizona outfielder notched his fifth three-hit performance of the season, as he also swiped his sixth base. Thomas has been filling an everyday role for the Diamondbacks since Aug. 1, hitting .298 (17-for-57) with two homers, two doubles, six runs scored and six RBI across 15 games this month. The 25-year-old is now slashing .251/.295/.380 with 40 runs scored and 33 RBI in 363 total plate appearances.

Thomas went 2-for-5 with two doubles in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas continued a surge this month and has gone 12-for-32 (.375) with two doubles, two home runs, five RBI and five runs over nine August games. His bat has always trailed his glove in the majors -- Thomas entered the year with a .629 OPS over his first three seasons -- but he's shown modest improvement in 2025. The 24-year-old outfielder is slashing .256/.302/.395 with eight home runs, 32 RBI and 39 runs over 102 contests.

Thomas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has opened August hot, going 9-for-15 (.600) over the first four games of the month. He had just two multi-hit efforts in all of July. The outfielder has gone deep three times in his last six games and is up to eight homers on the year. He's added a .260/.308/.401 slash line with 30 RBI, 38 runs scored, five stolen bases, 13 doubles and two triples over 97 contests. Monday's performance moved his OPS over .700 for the first time since June 11.

Thomas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has homered twice over his last four games, putting him at seven long balls on the year. The outfielder hit just .214 with a .654 OPS over 19 games in July, but he continues to hold down a majority share of the playing time in center field for Arizona. Overall, he's at a .250/.300/.384 slash line with 28 RBI, 36 runs scored, five stolen bases, 13 doubles and two triples across 95 contests.

Thomas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Thomas will get a rare day off against a righty (Chris Paddack) while the Diamondbacks clear room in the lineup for Jorge Barrosa, who will occupy center field in the series finale. Thomas started in both of the first two games of the series, going 1-for-6 with a solo home run and a walk.

Thomas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas' eighth-inning blast ended a 25-inning scoreless streak for the Diamondbacks, who have scored just two runs over the last four games. It was his sixth homer of the season and first since July 2. Arizona is a seller heading into the trade deadline, and Thomas could be an attractive piece with three years of control beyond 2025. Any trade activity that doesn't involve Thomas is not expected to impact his playing; he should remain the team's primary center fielder against right-handed starters.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Thomas (personal) from the bereavement list, and he will start in center field and bat eighth Sunday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas stepped away from the team for a couple days while on the bereavement list, but he's back with the Diamondbacks for Sunday's series finale in Pittsburgh. The 25-year-old has struggled at the plate through 15 games in July with a .234/.294/.362 slash line and 34 percent strikeout rate.
