Thomas did not play in Arizona's season-opening 8-2 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo's Opening Day lineup included a few surprises, in terms of where players batted and who wasn't in the starting nine. The lefty-swinging Thomas was on the bench against Los Angeles southpaw Julio Urias, as Corbin Carroll moved from left field to center. The lineup had a right-handed tilt as both Kyle Lewis and Lourdes Gurriel were in the starting nine at DH and in left field, respectively. Lovullo has always been a proponent of exploiting platoon splits, but leaving Thomas out of the lineup entirely was still a surprise.
