- On Saturday at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, Los Angeles Dodgers minor league outfielder Alek Thomas collided with Sacramento River Cats mascot Dinger, who was driving a motorized scooter across the field before the game.
- Dinger was celebrating the team's 'Christmas in July' promotion, driving the scooter down the right-field line while wearing a Santa hat and red vest when Thomas ran into his path in foul territory.
- Both the mascot and Thomas tumbled to the ground during the collision, but the 26-year-old outfielder avoided serious injury and played the entire game for the Oklahoma City Comets, finishing 0-for-4.
- This incident marks the second time this season a Los Angeles Dodgers minor league prospect has faced an unusual collision, following Kendall George's May knee injury while avoiding a team bat dog.
- Thomas, acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks in mid-May, continues development in Triple-A Oklahoma City after appearing in 448 games across five seasons with the Diamondbacks before the trade.
