With a batting average of .500 in one of their last outings and maintaining a perfect fielding percentage, Thomas poses a dual threat to opponents.


The Blue Jays' roster boasts several other notable players who have made significant contributions in recent games. Daulton Varsho, an outfielder known for his versatility, has displayed impressive skills both offensively and defensively. Kevin Gausman, a starting pitcher for the Blue Jays, is another player to watch. With an ERA of 13.5 in one game but showing improvement across other metrics in recent performances, Gausman's presence on the mound could be pivotal for Toronto.
