CLEVELAND -- Guardians outfielder Lane Thomas was activated off the injured list before Cleveland hosted the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.
He was 1-for-3 with two walks and two strikeouts. The Guardians lost 7-4.
Thomas missed 11 games because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Thomas has played in only 18 games this season and is batting .129. He missed five weeks due to a right wrist bone bruise after getting hit by a pitch during the April 8 home opener against the Chicago White Sox.
Infielder Will Wilson was optioned to Triple-A Columbus to make room for Thomas.
The Guardians also announced that pitcher Andrew Walters and outfielder Will Brennan had surgery Monday.
Walters had right shoulder surgery to repair the latissimus dorsi (lat). Walters was injured during a May 29 game against the Los Angeles Angels.
Shoulder specialist Dr. Anthony Romeo performed the surgery on Walters in Chicago.
Brennan underwent Tommy John surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. The procedure was done in Dallas after Brennan consulted with the team's medical staff and specialist Dr. Keith Meister.
Walters and Brennan are scheduled to report to the Guardians spring training complex in Goodyear, Arizona, in the coming days to begin rehabilitation. Walters is expected to miss eight to 10 months, while Brennan could be out six to eight months.
