Trayce Thompson leaves with lower back soreness

Dodgers outfielder Trayce Thompson left Saturday's win over the Mets in the fifth inning with lower back soreness, appearing to aggravate the issue on a swing one inning earlier.

Thompson started in right field on Saturday night in place of Yasiel Puig and was 0-for-2. He reached on a fielders choice grounder to third in the fourth inning, but during that at-bat he reached for his back after an earlier swing. Thompson remained in the game until the bottom of the fifth, when Puig replaced him in right field.
