Venezuelan prospect Jose Requena will head to the Diamondbacks' organization in exchange for Thomas, who was designated for assignment this past week. A solid defensive outfielder, Thomas has really struggled with the bat this season, posting a .181/.222/.340 slash line with two homers across 100 plate appearances.

Thomas is now on a six-game hitting streak and is hitting .364 (8-for-22) during the stretch.

Alek Thomas went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, and a stolen base on Thursday as Arizona dropped a 4-1 decision to the White Sox.

The double was his eighth two-bagger of the season, tying him for fourth in the National League. Meanwhile, it was his fourth stolen base - in four attempts - this season. Thomas is well on his way to surpass his career-high of nine steals back in 2023. The outfielder is only hitting .194 on the year, but is currently on a five-game hitting streak during which he has gone 7-for-18 (.389) with four doubles, a home run, and three RBI.

Fantasy Impact
Thomas took White Sox' starter, Sean Burke, deep in the fifth inning for his first home run of the season. It snapped a 30-game homerless drought dating back to September 13 of last season. Thomas is showing signs of life at the plate and is on a modest four-game hitting streak, going 6-for-16 (.375) with three doubles, a home run, and three RBI during the stretch. Thomas has raised his average 63 points over the last four games, but is still hitting just .185 with a .559 OPS on the year.
