LOS ANGELES -- Lower back irritation has landed outfielder Trayce Thompson on the 15-day disabled list, with the Dodgers recalling utility man Zach Walters from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.
Thompson felt something in a swing on Sunday, and didn't improve over the All-Star break. The DL move is retroactive to Monday, meaning if Thompson misses the minimum amount of time he will have only missed nine games.
Walters has started at all four infield positions and in both outfield corners in Triple-A this season. The Dodgers acquired Walters and outfielder James Ramsey from the Indians for cash considerations on April 10.
