Player Outlook
Lane Thomas took another improbable step forward last season, finishing as one of 19 MLB players to go 20-20 in 2023 while also surpassing the century mark in runs scored. It all added up to just a 109 wRC+ and 2.7 fWAR across 682 plate appearances, as Thomas' middling on-base percentage and defensive metrics dinged him. Traded twice earlier in his career, including in exchange for Jon Lester in 2021, Thomas was a popular name at the trade deadline, but Washington surprised many by holding onto the outfielder. While last season may very well go down as his career year, the Nationals clearly believe in the late bloomer's production. His low walk rate and issues with same-side pitching could catch up to him in time, but Thomas should be expected to be in the lineup every day under manager Dave Martinez to begin 2024.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Pilfers 24th bag

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Reds. The outfielder continues to do damage on the basepaths in July. Thomas is up to 24 steals on the season, and seven of them have come in his last 12 games -- a stretch in which he's batting .319 (15-for-47). His homer drought stands at 24 games, however, something that won't help the Nationals extract maximum value for the 28-year-old if they elect to move him at the trade deadline.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Stays hot on basepaths

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Brewers. The 28-year-old outfielder is sprinting into the All-Star break.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: On base four times in loss

    Rotowire

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Nabs steal No. 20

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 2-for-6 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's extra-innings loss to the Cardinals. The 28-year-old stole a career-high 20 bags in 157 games last season, but Thomas has massively ramped up his aggressiveness on the basepaths in 2024. Through only 59 contests, he's already matched those 20 steals in 26 attempts. He's also regaining last year's form at the plate, and over his last 15 games he's slashing .266/.329/.469 with nine of his 17 hits (six doubles, two triples and a homer) going for extra bases.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Swipes two bags in win

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Thursday's win against the Mets. Thomas had his fifth game of the season with multiple stolen bases, which is the second most in MLB behind Elly De La Cruz (eight). Thomas already has 19 steals in 58 games this season, one away from the career high he set last season in 156 contests. The 28-year-old continues to be a solid producer since returning from a knee injury in late May, slashing .268/.327/.504 with six homers and 25 RBI over his last 36 games.

    Rotowire

He knocked an RBI single in the third inning and a two-run double in the fourth before capping his day off with an RBI triple in the sixth.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Pops eighth homer

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks. The 28-year-old outfielder took Ryne Nelson deep in the third inning to give the Nationals an early lead that quickly slipped away. Thomas had a tough start to the season due to injuries, but he appears healthy now and back in his 2023 form. He's hit safely in 11 of the last 13 games, slashing .292/.345/.667 over that stretch with five of his eight homers on the year and 12 of his 23 runs.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Stuffs stat sheet in victory

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run, a double, a walk and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 7-2 win against Atlanta. Washington was being shut out by rookie hurler Spencer Schwellenbach until Thomas tagged him for a three-run homer in the fifth inning. That was the biggest highlight of a very productive performance by the outfielder, who added a couple cherries on top with a pair of steals in the ninth frame. This was Thomas' third game back since missing over a month while on the injured list, and he's gone 5-for-13 with four extra-base hits since his return.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Reinstated from IL

    Rotowire
    Thomas (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday. Victor Robles was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Thomas has been out since late April with a Grade 2 MCL sprain, but he is now ready to roll following a four-game rehab stint with Double-A Harrisburg. Thomas mostly struggled over the first few weeks before landing on the IL, slashing .184/.250/.253 with two homers and 11 steals, but he should immediately slot back in as the starting right fielder for Washington.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Plays nine innings Thursday

    Rotowire
    Thomas (knee) went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts for Double-A Harrisburg on Thursday while playing all nine innings in right field. It marks the first time in three rehab games that Thomas has played a full nine innings. The 28-year-old is 2-for-9 at the plate in those three contests with a double and a stolen base, and per Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports, the Nationals are considering whether to activate Thomas on Friday or leave him on his rehab assignment for another couple days to get his timing back at the plate. When Thomas does come off the injured list, he should immediately slot back into the starting lineup in right field for Washington.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Could be activated Friday

    Rotowire
    Thomas (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. Thomas is set to play Tuesday and Wednesday before being reevaluated. Assuming all goes well, it would set him up to be activated ahead of the Nationals' weekend series against the Mariners. Thomas has missed nearly a month of action with a Grade 2 MCL sprain of his left knee.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Taking dry swings

    Rotowire
    Thomas (knee) has been cleared to take dry swings, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports. It's been a little over a week since Thomas was diagnosed with an MCL sprain of his left knee, and he's now easing back into baseball activities. There is no timeline for the outfielder's return, but he's almost surely several weeks away.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Dealing with Grade 2 MCL sprain

    Rotowire
    Nationals manager Dave Martinez said that Thomas was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier Wednesday with a Grade 2 MCL sprain and is without a timeline for a return, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. Thomas sustained the injury in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers and was diagnosed with the MCL sprain after getting an MRI. The outfielder was walking around without the aid of crutches Wednesday and acknowledged that he expects to avoid surgery, according to Andrew Golden of The Washington Post. A timeline for Thomas' return could come into focus once he resumes baseball activities, but fantasy managers should prepare for the outfielder to be sidelined beyond the minimum 10 days. Martinez said that Joey Gallo will get the first chance at replacing Thomas as Washington's primary right fielder.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Getting MRI on knee

    Rotowire
    Thomas will receive an MRI on his left knee Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.comreports. Thomas injured his knee while swiping a bag in the fifth inning of Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers. Once the results of his imaging come back, a better picture will emerge regarding the severity of his injury, as well as an estimate for how much time -- if any -- the 28-year-old will miss. Thomas is slashing .184/.250/.253 across 96 plate appearances this season.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Exits early Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Thomas was removed from Tuesday's game against the Dodgers with an apparent leg injury, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. Thomas appeared to tweak his left leg while stealing a base in the fifth inning, though he remained in the game briefly before being replaced on defense ahead of the seventh. The Nationals will take a closer look at him in the clubhouse and should offer more information on his status in the near future.

  • Nationals' Lane Thomas: Swipes ninth bag

    Rotowire
    Thomas went 0-for-5 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Astros. While Thomas' struggles at the plate continued, he did find ways to contribute. In addition to stealing his ninth base of the season -- tied for second in the majors with Ronald Acuna and Brice Turang, one back of Elly De La Cruz -- the 28-year-old made the defensive play of the game, making a running catch in foul territory in the top of the 10th and then throwing out Jose Altuve at the plate as he attempted to tag up and score. Thomas is slashing .183/.236/.256 on the season with two homers, five runs and 10 RBI.
