Guardians activate DH David Fry, place OF Lane Thomas on IL - ESPN

The Cleveland Guardians have activated designated hitter David Fry from the 60-day injured list, adding him to the roster before Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Fry, who had been recovering from Tommy John surgery, is looking to contribute as he returns from a significant injury layoff. Last season, he made a notable impact by hitting .263 with 14 homers and 51 RBIs, and demonstrated his clutch gene by hitting a crucial two-run homer in the playoffs against the New York Yankees.

In contrast, outfielder Lane Thomas has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to plantar fasciitis, a move that could further hinder the Guardians' depth. Thomas has struggled this season, hitting just .119 with three RBIs in 17 games, following an earlier wrist injury that sidelined him for several matches. The Guardians have also designated right-hander Cody Bolton for assignment after a brief appearance this season.

What are the Guardians' playoff chances with their current roster changes?What role does injury recovery play in a player's season performance?How does the loss of Lane Thomas impact the Guardians' offensive strategy?What can we expect from the Guardians' pitching staff moving forward?
