The Atlanta Braves have placed outfielder Lane Thomas on the injured list with an intercostal strain suffered during batting practice before Thursday's matchup against the Rays. Thomas was scratched from the lineup as a late scratch, with Brewer Hicklen replacing him in left field.

Braves manager Walt Weiss announced the IL move in his postgame press conference following Atlanta's win over Tampa Bay, per Battery Power. The team recalled outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. to take Thomas' roster spot.
