Lane Thomas, center fielder for the Cleveland Guardians, has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a bruised right wrist incurred from a hit by a pitch earlier in the month. The Guardians made this move retroactive to April 20, just before their matchup against the New York Yankees. In response, Cleveland has called up infielder Will Wilson from Triple-A Columbus, where he was performing well with a .324 batting average and six home runs in just 18 games.

Thomas previously shone in the postseason for the Guardians in 2024, hitting two homers in the AL Division Series. His absence is felt as he was instrumental in several clutch moments last October. Meanwhile, Wilson's recent form suggests he could make an immediate impact at the major league level.
