"I would probably anticipate him going on the (IL) because you don't walk off the field like that and get an MRI when you're going to play the next day," general manager Mike Rizzo told 106.7 The Fan on Wednesday.
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.
