Thompson will start in left field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson will get his fourth start in as many games since his call-up from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday after he went 2-for-11 with a pair of stolen bases in the Rangers' previous three contests. With Kole Calhoun (heel) landing on the injured list Thursday, the righty-hitting Thompson looks like he'll have a clear path to regular playing time in the outfield against both right- and left-handed pitching.
