The Angels claimed Thomas off waivers from the Astros on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas will begin his second stint of the season in the Angels organization after he had been claimed off waivers by Houston on June 15 before being cast off the 40-man roster less than two weeks later. Aside from a one-game cameo with the Angels earlier this month, Thomas has otherwise spent the entire campaign at the Triple-A level. Between stops at Salt Lake and the Astros' affiliate in Sugar Land, the 29-year-old outfielder has slashed .293/.395/.492 with nine home runs and three stolen bases across 228 plate appearances.

Thomas was designated for assignment by the Astros on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas appeared in one game for the Angels in mid-June before being designated for assignment and claimed by the Astros, but he didn't last long with his new team before being placed on waivers again. Whether or not there will be any interest this time around in a 29-year-old with just five career MLB games under his belt remains to be seen.

The Astros claimed Thomas off waivers from the Angels on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Houston transferred outfielder Jake Meyers (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL to clear room on the 40-man roster for Thomas, who appeared in one big-league game for the Angels earlier this month before being designated for assignment. Though Thomas is expected to report to Triple-A Sugar Land initially, he could eventually get a look with the Astros in center field, which has been a revolving door of late. All of Chas McCormick, Jose Siri and Mauricio Dubon have made two starts in center apiece over the Astros' previous six games, with none having separated himself from the others in the competition for the everyday gig.

Thomas was designated for assignment by the Angels on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has had a busy four days. His contract was selected Wednesday and he made his season debut Thursday, but he was optioned on Friday and now designated for assignment Saturday. Given that he's a 29-year-old with just five big-league games under his belt, he's likely to pass through waivers unclaimed.

Thomas had his contract selected by the Angels on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old made his MLB debut over four games for the Mariners last year, and he'll now receive a look with the Angels. Thomas has an .887 OPS over 48 games with Triple-A Salt Lake this season, and he'll provide outfield depth for the Halos while Mike Trout manages a groin injury.
