The Washington Nationals placed outfielder Lane Thomas on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with an MCL sprain in his left knee.
Thomas, 28, was injured while stealing second base in the fifth inning in Tuesday’s 4-1 home loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Thomas is batting .184 with two homers, 10 RBIs and 11 stolen bases in 22 games this season.
He is a career .247 hitter with 59 home runs, 190 RBIs and 46 steals in 453 games with the Cardinals (2019-21) and Nationals, who acquired him in the July 2021 trade that sent left-hander Jon Lester to St. Louis.
The Nationals recalled infielder Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding transaction.
Lipscomb, 23, made his major league debut on March 30 and batted .224 with one homer, four RBIs and four steals in 14 games before being optioned to Rochester on April 15.
