Guardians Activate Lane Thomas, Brennan to IL

The Cleveland Guardians have activated center fielder Lane Thomas from the 10-day injured list ahead of their series opener against the Detroit Tigers, following a month-long absence due to a right wrist bone bruise sustained on April 8. Thomas initially tried to play through the injury, appearing in five more games before being sidelined. He returns to the lineup after a slow start to the season and is expected to provide a boost, especially against left-handed pitching. Thomas notably helped the Guardians clinch an AL Division Series win over Detroit last postseason with a grand slam in Game 5. Outfielder Will Brennan was placed on the 10-day IL with left forearm inflammation and is eligible to return no earlier than May 30, though his timeline remains uncertain. Brennan managed just one hit in 11 at-bats since his recall from Triple-A.
