Thomas is coming back from a wrist issue, so the 0-for-7 the last two days is understandable. Still, he’s hitting .132 with a 12/1 K/BB in 41 plate appearances for the season, and he’s at .195/.250/.348 in 64 games since being acquired from the Nationals last summer. The Guardians ought to turn him into a platoon guy and start Angel Martínez in center field against righties.

Arias’s double was the hardest-hit ball of the game at 109.5 mph. He has a fine .287/.339/.452 line in 127 plate appearances, even though he’s sporting the worst contact rate (60%) and fourth-highest groundball rate (58%) among 161 qualified major league hitters. It’s certainly reason for some skepticism going forward.

Allen gave up seven hits and walked four, so allowing only three runs was quite an accomplishment. Scoring all of their runs in the sixth, the Guardians ended up winning the game 8-6 even though the Nationals had more hits (13-10), more extra-base hits (4-2) and more walks (7-5). Allen remains 1-2 with a 4.33 ERA through seven starts. He’ll face the Brewers next.

Buxton gave the Twins a 3-1 lead with a three-run blast in the third inning. He’s now homered in three straight games, and that homer along with a single now has him hitting .274/.306/.541 with nine roundtrippers over 37 games. As long as Buxton is healthy, he’s capable of major fantasy fireworks.

Taveras will be making his Seattle debut against Gunnar Hoglund and the Athletics in the series finale. The 26-year-old has occasionally flashed offensive upside, but while he will get playing time against right-handed pitching, his chances of being a fantasy-relevant player seem slim based on his struggles the last year-plus.
