Thomas went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 12-3 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas paced the Diamondbacks' offense with four hits, one of six batters in the lineup to record multiple hits in the blowout win. The 22-year-old outfielder entered Tuesday in an 0-for-11 slump, so this was an encouraging performance. The rookie is up to a .248 batting average with a .672 OPS, eight home runs, 35 RBI, 40 runs scored, four stolen bases, 15 doubles and a triple through 95 contests.

Thomas is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has posted just a .500 OPS against left-handers this season, so he will be held out Monday with lefty Ranger Suarez starting for the opponent. Jake McCarthy will cover center field in Thomas' place.
