Lane Thomas joins Braves injured list with an intercostal strain

Atlanta Braves outfielder Lane Thomas will head to the injured list following an intercostal strain discovered today. The team scratched Thomas from the lineup shortly before the scheduled contest. This injury could potentially sideline the outfielder for the remainder of the 2026 season. His absence opens additional opportunities for teammate Brewer Hicklen to see more at-bats. Meanwhile, the Braves are also monitoring infielder Mauricio Dubón, who experienced discomfort in his back during today's game. Though Walt Weiss described the issue as minor, the team may look to add DaShawn Keirsey Jr. to the active roster for the upcoming series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The club expects to rely on Ha-Seong Kim for increased playing time while managing these personnel changes.
