Seattle Mariners outfielder Dillon Thomas was called back up to the big club on Sunday. The 28-year-old has spent time between the M's and Triple-A Tacoma this season, and he will now take the place of Jake Fraley (illness), who recently landed on the 10-day injured list. Thomas isn't worth much from a fantasy perspective, primarily due to his subpar play in the majors, batting just .125 throughout eight at-bats during the 2021 campaign. However, he is worth a spot on the radar but will need to pick things up from a production standpoint moving ahead, which is unlikely unless he receives a consistent role in the starting lineup.
Donovan Walton And Dillon Thomas Demoted To Triple-A
Seattle Mariners utility man Donovan Walton and outfielder Dillon Thomas were sent to Triple-A before Saturday's game against the Cleveland Indians. The moves make room on the active roster for Dylan Moore, who returns off the injured list from a calf strain, and reliever Yohan Ramirez. Though Thomas has only been in the majors for several days, Walton has participated in 20 games for the Mariners, producing a .608 OPS with two homers and one steal. Neither one needs to be held on fantasy rosters.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Dillon Thomas made his major-league debut Wednesday, and he had a nice game, going 1-for-5 with two RBI, two runs scored, and an acrobatic catch in right-center field. The strong defense will keep him on the field, and he showed plenty of power at Triple-A Tacoma. For now, he's only worth an add in the deepest of formats, but he's plenty worth keeping an eye on in case he catches fire.
Dillon Thomas Starting For The First Time Wednesday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Dillon Thomas will make his first career start Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers, having been called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday. With Kyle Lewis out for an undetermined time, and Jarred Kelenic in the minors, Thomas has an opportunity to earn regular playing time in the short term. He was tearing up Triple-A pitching so far this season, with a .338/.459/.625 slash line and six homers in 25 games. Fantasy managers can take a wait-and-see approach with Thomas, but this ten-year minor league veteran could become an unlikely contributor.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Dillon Thomas has been recalled from the minors and will join the big league team on Tuesday. The 28-year signed a minor league deal with the team over the offseason. He is hitting .338/.459/.625 to go along with six homers and four steals over 25 games in Triple-A this season. It's uncertain if he'll be in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Thomas will make his MLB debut whenever he does get into the game. He won't be on the fantasy radar right now since it's unclear how much playing time he'll see in Seattle.
