Thompson went 1-for-4 with two RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Sunday's 5-3 extra-innings win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson was added to the lineup when Zack McKinstry (neck) was scratched. The late change eventually paid off, as Thompson's two-run single in the ninth inning tied the game and forced extra innings. The outfielder has gone 5-for-16 (.313) in his first six contests with the Dodgers. Overall, he's slashing .200/.273/.333 with a home run, seven RBI, three runs scored and a steal in 33 plate appearances when including his time in the majors with the Padres earlier in the year.

Thompson hit a solo homer in his only at-bat against the Reds on Thursday.

Thompson went 1-for-2 with a two-run double in a win over the Reds on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After playing for Los Angeles from 2016-17, Thompson was acquired by the team Monday and added to the active roster Tuesday. He didn't start in Wednesday's contest, but the outfielder came on as a pinch hitter for Eddy Alvarez in the sixth inning. Thompson struck out in that at-bat but made his mark on the game in eighth, belting a two-run double to right field. He could be in line to pick up a few starts while Mookie Betts (rib) remains on the injured list.

The Dodgers activated Thompson ahead of Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
After acquiring Thompson from the Tigers on Monday, the Dodgers opened up room for him on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster a day later by transferring starter Walker Buehler (elbow) to the 60-day injured list and by placing reliever Caleb Ferguson (forearm) on the 15-day IL. The righty-hitting Thompson could serve as a short-side platoon mate for the switch-hitting Eddy Alvarez in right field while Mookie Betts (rib) is on the 10-day injured list.

Thompson was traded from the Tigers to the Dodgers on Monday in exchange for cash considerations, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson joined the Tigers on a minor-league contract in mid-May but will join the Dodgers just over a month later. He's appeared in 41 games between Triple-A El Paso and Triple-A Toledo this year and has slashed .305/.365/.721 with 17 home runs, 36 RBI, 33 runs and two stolen bases. The 31-year-old will likely join the major-league club to provide an extra right-handed bat in the outfield while Mookie Betts (rib) is sidelined.

Thompson signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson elected free agency earlier this month after spending the first month of the season in the Padres organization. He appeared in six games at the big-league level for the Padres but otherwise functioned as organizational outfield depth at Triple-A El Paso, where he slashed an impressive .316/.385/.860 across 65 plate appearances. Thompson is set to report to Triple-A Toledo with his new organization, but he'll likely have a clearer path to getting an extended look in the majors with Detroit that he had in San Diego.

Thompson cleared waivers and elected free agency Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson was designated for assignment by the Padres on Tuesday, and he'll choose to become a free agent rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A. He went 1-for-14 with a run, two RBI, two steals and seven strikeouts over six games with San Diego this year.

Thompson went 1-for-3 with a single, a walk and two RBI in a 7-3 victory versus Pittsburgh on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson was called up to San Diego on Thursday after Wil Myers (thumb) hit the 10-day injured list, and the former came through with a two-run single in the sixth inning during his first game with the club. Thompson started the contest in left field before shifting over to right later on, and he could see some time at all three outfield spots while Myers is out. Thompson was tearing up Triple-A pitching before his call-up, slashing .316/.385/.860 with nine homers over 65 plate appearances.
