Alek Thomas shines in return to Diamondbacks with homer and win.

Alek Thomas hits a home run on his first swing since being recalled from Triple-A Reno, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 9-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Thomas had been optioned on May 17 after struggling offensively, but manager Torey Lovullo believes he is a key player for the team.

"Dominic Fletcher's Hot Start Demands Playing Time with D-backs"

Dominic Fletcher's impressive start to his MLB career has given the Arizona Diamondbacks a good problem to have in deciding which young outfielders to play. Fletcher has reached base in 15 of his first 18 games and has played all three outfield positions, forcing his way into the lineup and giving the D-backs flexibility to let struggling players like Alek Thomas and Jake McCarthy take time to find their offensive rhythm. The organization has a flurry of options in the outfield, including four left-handed outfielders and Dominic Canzone, plus contributions from veterans Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Pavin Smith.
