After a really rough short stint, Lane Thomas isn’t on the St. Louis Cardinals’ active roster anymore. Instead, Scott Hurst gets to debut.

Well, that was quick. After being called up by the St. Louis Cardinals just five days ago, Lane Thomas is already back with the team’s Alternate Site.

The move, which happened Thursday, came after Thomas had multiple ugly misplays in the outfield that was part of the reason why the team lost two out of three games against the Washington Nationals this week.
