Alek Thomas

Gurriel's day off means both Jake McCarthy and Alek Thomas are in the lineup at the same time for the first time, with Thomas in center. Those two had each started two games in center thus far. Gurriel is off to a 4-for-19 start as the D-backs' No. 3 hitter.

Thomas, 24, had three of the eight hits for the D-Backs in the blowout win. He's expected to get a decent amount of playing time against right-handed pitching, and while Thomas is a former top prospect, he's a tough sell from a fantasy perspective because of his past struggles at the plate. At 24 years of age, a breakout season can't be completely dismissed, however.
