Cody Thomas

Thomas (Achilles) was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Thomas underwent offseason Achilles surgery and isn't available for camp, and he should report to the Triple-A level when healthy. He appeared in 59 games for Las Vegas last year and slashed .289/.363/.665 with 18 home runs, 52 RBI and 46 runs. If the 27-year-old performs well once he's healthy, it wouldn't be surprising to see him make his major-league debut at some point in 2022.

Thomas will be unavailable during camp while working his was back from offseason Achilles surgery, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. The exact nature and timing of Thomas' procedure and his expected return date are not yet clear. He was thought to have a chance to push for an Opening Day roster spot but now won't get the chance to debut until later in the year.

Thomas' contract was selected by Oakland on Friday. The move means Thomas won't be selected in the upcoming Rule 5 draft. He could still get the chance to make his big-league debut in 2022, as he's already 27 years old and hit a strong .289/.363/.665 with 18 homers in 59 games Triple-A Las Vegas last season while spending time at all three outfield positions.

When Cody Thomas was promoted to Double-A by the Los Angeles Dodgers, he received a warm welcome in one of his former homes.

While there, Thomas developed a special connection with Sooners fans, who have kept a close eye on his minor league career since he was drafted in 2016.

The minor league season is nearly halfway through, and the 2021 MLB draft begins today, so it’s time for us to check in with the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators. Vegas is a hitter’s paradise, within a hitter’s league in the Triple-A West, so as expected the story lines all revolve around massive offense — the Aviators are scoring and allowing seven runs per game. That means some position player prospects are looking really good, and all the pitchers are posting ugly numbers, and it can be difficult to hash out which parts are real and which are desert mirages.

Cody Thomas took a relatively different path to professional baseball, but it has worked out overall. He was once a highly regarded high school quarterback prospect, rated ahead of Jared Goff in some circles. While Goff went on to be the first pick of the NFL Draft, Thomas started three games in his collegiate career.

Thomas was reassigned to minor-league camp Saturday. Thomas was traded from the Dodgers to the Athletics in February and appeared in 22 Cactus League games this spring. During that time, he hit .273 with two extra-base hits, five runs and three RBI. The 26-year-old will likely begin the year at Triple-A Las Vegas but could make his major-league debut at some point in 2021.
