Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: In lineup against lefty Alek Thomas started in the Diamondbacks' Opening Day game against Colorado lefty Kyle Freeland and batted eighth in center field, going 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. Thomas, who struggled against left-handers in 2023, had one hit in three plate appearances against southpaws.

Thomas started in center field and batted eighth, going 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 16-1 win over the Rockies on Opening Day.
Thomas, whose struggles against left-handers was a theme in 2023, got the start against Colorado lefty Kyle Freeland. He had one hit in three plate appearances against southpaws Thursday. It's unclear if Thursday was a ceremonial start on Opening Day or if the Diamondbacks plan a strict platoon for Thomas, who had just 81 plate appearances against left-handers in 2023. A clearer indication will occur Saturday, when Arizona faces lefty Austin Gomber.
