Thomas (hamstring) went 1-for-2 with a walk and a home run in the Arizona Complex League on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas opened a rehab assignment as the DH and received three plate appearances as the leadoff hitter before being removed for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. He did not play Friday.

Thomas (hamstring) is expected to serve as the designated hitter for the Diamondbacks' entry in the Arizona Complex League on Thursday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has been running the bases and will be on the field Wednesday at Chase Field to take batting practice and perform outfield work before heading to the ACL. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo reiterated a statement made earlier that Thomas may not need as many games as teammate Geraldo Perdomo, who had a seven-game (16 plate appearances) rehab assignment before his return from a knee injury Tuesday.

Thomas (hamstring) ran the bases with cleats Saturday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas endured a setback during the recovery from a left hamstring strain in late May, and after being shut down from running, he resumed running the bases Saturday. He's expected to begin a rehab assignment next week, but manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that Thomas won't need many games before being activated considering how many at-bats he's taken while on the injured list.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that the hope is Thomas (hamstring) will be ready to resume a rehab assignment next week, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment in early May following a setback with his left hamstring. He's progressed nicely more recently, however, and is almost ready for game action. Lovullo noted Wednesday that Thomas' rehab assignment might not take long because the outfielder has taken so many at-bats while sidelined.

Thomas (hamstring) is continuing a running progression and could advance to running bases later in the week, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has not yet been cleared to see live at-bats on a rehab assignment, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. Once he gets the green light to run the bases, a minor-league rehab stint shouldn't be far behind.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Thomas (hamstring) isn't on track to begin a minor-league rehab assignment during the upcoming week, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Lovullo noted that Thomas is trending in a right direction in his recovery from a left hamstring strain, the center fielder isn't yet at a point in his rehab regimen where he's ready for game action. Thomas has been on the 10-day injured list since April 1 with the hamstring issue, so he'll likely need to play in at least a handful of rehab games at some point down the road before Arizona activates him. He doesn't look like he'll be a realistic option for the Diamondbacks outfield until the second half of June.

Thomas (hamstring) has begun light jogging, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has taken a series of small steps since receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection May 13. He ran in a pool and took live at-bats before commencing a jogging regimen. The Diamondbacks have not set an estimated return date for Thomas, who will first need a rehab assignment before rejoining the club.

Thomas (hamstring) will require a minor-league rehab assignment prior to returning from the 10-day injured list, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas had been on the verge of returning earlier this month but felt something in his injured left hamstring after a rehab game at Triple-A Reno on May 5. He has since received a platelet-rich plasma injection and is ramping up his activity again, as he recently ran in a pool and took live at-bats. Thomas made 13 plate appearances over three games during his first rehab assignment, which may be a barometer for how much time the outfielder needs on a second rehab stint.

Thomas (hamstring) took five at-bats at the Diamondbacks' training facility Friday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was Thomas' first activity of any kind after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection Monday. The outfielder was on a path to be activated; however, Thomas suffered a setback in the days leading up to a potential activation. The next step is for Thomas to be cleared for full baseball activity.
