Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Friday that Thomas (intercostal) is a candidate to be added to the roster for the NLDS, Harrison Smajovits of SI.com reports.
Thomas has been shelved since mid-September with a left intercostal strain, but he took pregame batting practice before Thursday's win over the Phillies and has responded well to treatment. With the bevy of left-handers available for the Dodgers, the right-handed-hitting Thomas is a good bet to join the Atlanta roster for the NLDS.
