Alek Thomas Will Continue To See Regular At-Bats

Alek Thomas

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Alek Thomas, one of the team’s most well-regarded prospects, will continue to see regular at-bats, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Meanwhile, Daulton Varsho will play the outfield while getting only occasional starts behind the plate now that Carson Kelly is back from the injured list. Through 30 games entering Saturday, Thomas had held his own, posting a .760 OPS while playing good defense in center field. Varsho was the designated hitter on Saturday, but Lovullo is unsure who will play there when both Varsho and Thomas are in the outfield together. Finding regular at-bats for all six of the team’s outfielders will be hard, and Varsho and Thomas figure to be the closest thing to everyday players among a group that also includes David Peralta, Pavin Smith, Jordan Luplow and Jake McCarthy.
