Thomas went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas posted a second consecutive multi-hit game, though the rookie has been in a slump, which contributed to a drop in the batting order. He was riding a 2-for-27 skid prior to his two-game surge.

Thomas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
With lefty Jose Quintana on the hill for St. Louis, the lefty-hitting Thomas will head to the bench for the second time in the series. The rookie should remain locked into a near-everyday role in the Arizona outfield the rest of the way, but he's hit a bit of a rough patch of late. Over his last 13 games, Thomas has slashed .149/.167/.149 with no extra-base hits and no stolen bases.

Thomas batted seventh and went 0-for-4 in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas had settled in near the top of the order from mid-June to mid-August but has batted in the lower half the last six games. He has just two hits over 19 at-bats (.105) since the drop, which followed a 16-game stretch in which he limped to a .193/.246/.281 slash line.

Thomas went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas made his second-half debut after being held out Friday, the team's first game back from the All-Star break. Over 63 games, the rookie maintains a .259/.309/.417 line, hovering around his expected rates. Thomas is on the wrong end of several Statcast batting metrics, but he's going to be a near-everyday player and given an opportunity to develop the rest of the season.
