Fantasy Impact:
Thomas, a player acquired in the Juan Uribe trade, only has 21 innings pitched in his brief major league career. He throws from the left side and has a career 4.71 ERA, 1.571 WHIP, and 9.0 SO/9 rate. With Kershaw's gem on Thursday, the bullpen is fresh so Thomas may not be asked to go too long. He is pitching against the Mets, though, so he could be an option.
