The Dodgers are already down an outfielder with Joc Pederson on the disabled list. Scott Van Slyke is expected to step up and receive some additional playing time.

Thompson was traded to the Dodgers this offseason from the Chicago White Sox. So far this season he has hit 13 home runs and has shown promise to be a contributor for years to come.
