Thompson entered Wednesday's game as a pinch runner and was caught stealing in the Rangers' 8-7 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson ran for Nathaniel Lowe in the ninth inning and nearly got himself into scoring position. He appeared to have successfully stolen second base but over-slid the bag and was ruled out via video review. It was just the second time in 17 attempts that Thompson's been caught stealing this year.

Thompson went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in a 10-6 loss to the Marlins in the second game of Monday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
After swiping his 14th bag in the matinee, Thompson followed up with his 15th in the nightcap. He's been on a spree of late, notching five steals over four games. Thompson's wringing a lot of value from an unsustainable .419 BABIP, which props up a .288 average and .342 OBP.

Thompson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a 3-2 win over the Marlins in the first game of Monday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old rookie is up to 14 steals in 15 attempts through his first 34 big-league games, including four in the last three contests. Thompson is also swinging a hot bat, collecting six hits with three doubles in the last four games and batting .339 (19-for-56) over his last 18.

Thompson started in right field and went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 11-7 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson's made a home in left field since being called up in August but moved to right field the last two games to make room for Josh Smith. Right field is normally the spot of Adolis Garcia, who was held out of the starting lineup Friday and moved to designated hitter Saturday. It's unclear if interim manager Tony Beasley plans a platoon in left field between Thompson and Smith. If that were the case, the right-hitting Thompson would be on the short side of the job share.

Thompson went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 9-1 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson was responsible for the Rangers' lone run in the third inning, putting himself in scoring position by stealing second base and coming home on a Corey Seager single. An inning later, following a walk, he was picked off first base, so the outfielder is looking to run any time he gets on base. The swipe was Thompson's 10th over 25 games since having his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock.

Thompson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 9-8 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson stole his ninth base in 24 games and is proving to be a valuable late-season addition for fantasy rosters. He has just four walks during his time in the majors but is getting on base at a .388 clip since mid-August while benefiting from a .392 BABIP.

Thompson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson tattooed a Framber Valdez sinker, sending it 433 feet out above the fence in left field. It was the first home run in the majors for Thompson, who's known more for his 70-grade speed and rarely gets to jog around the bases. Not letting the homer get to his head, Thompson laid down a bunt single on his next plate appearance. This was Thompson's 11th start in left field over the last 14 contests, including six against right-handed starters. It's safe to assume he's moved ahead of Kole Calhoun as the primary left fielder.
