The Royals recalled Thomas from Triple-A Omaha on Monday.
Kansas City optioned right-hander Jose Cuas to Triple-A to clear a spot in the bullpen for Thomas, who will provide the club with a left-handed option who's capable of covering multiple innings. The 28-year-old has yet to debut for the Royals but has gotten off to a brutal start to his time in the big leagues. Between stops with Milwaukee in 2025 and Atlanta in 2026, Thomas has been rocked for 27 runs -- all earned -- on 27 hits and eight walks in just 11.2 innings over four total relief appearances.

The Royals claimed Thomas off waivers from the Athletics on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Omaha.
Thomas did not throw a pitch for the Athletics after being claimed off waivers last week, and he's now on the move again. The left-hander has been tagged for a whopping 27 runs over 11.2 innings covering four career major-league outings.

The Athletics designated Thomas for assignment Saturday.
Thomas joined the Athletics on Thursday after being claimed off waivers from Atlanta, but the left-hander didn't make any appearances before the Athletics elected to move him off the 40-man roster. The 28-year-old has gotten off to a historically poor start to his big-league career; over four appearances with Milwaukee and Atlanta between this season and last, Thomas has allowed 27 earned runs on 27 hits and eight walks while striking out nine batters in 11.2 innings.

The Athletics claimed Thomas off waivers from Atlanta on Thursday.
Atlanta optioned Thomas to Triple-A and later waived him after he gave up 11 runs in just 2.2 innings during his last big-league appearance Monday. The A's will bring him in despite his poor performance, though it's unclear whether he'll immediately claim a spot in the big-league bullpen. Mark Leiter (hip) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Atlanta optioned Thomas to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
The move comes one day after Thomas was bludgeoned for 11 runs over 2.2 innings in a 78-pitch relief outing versus the Mets. His spot on the roster will be absorbed by Elieser Hernandez.

Atlanta recalled Thomas from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
Thomas gave up four earned runs in 3.2 innings during his lone MLB outing July 7 against the Pirates, but he sports a 1.98 ERA in 27.1 frames at Gwinnett and will now get another chance in the big club's bullpen, replacing Elieser Hernandez.
