Alek Thomas promotion to Los Angeles Dodgers

Overview

Following a trade from the Arizona Diamondbacks in May, outfielder Alek Thomas was promoted from Triple-A Oklahoma City to the Los Angeles Dodgers roster to fill the center field position. This move was necessitated by a hand fracture sustained by teammate Andy Pages.

During his initial appearances, Thomas contributed to a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, recording an RBI single and demonstrating defensive utility. In his first three games with the team, Thomas has recorded at least one hit and one RBI per game. His wife, Kailey McCaffrey, described the rapid series of professional changes as something she ‘didn’t have on my 2026 bingo card.’
