The Los Angeles Dodgers have recalled outfielder Jonny Deluca and placed outfielder Trayce Thompson on the injured list with a left oblique strain.
Deluca, 24, was hitting .315 (23-for-73) with three doubles, one triple, four homers and 19 RBI in 17 games for Oklahoma City. He began the season with Double-A Tulsa, hitting .279 (34-for-122) with 10 homers and 18 RBI. Last season, he played in 101 games between High-A Great Lakes and Double-A Tulsa, recording 23 doubles, 22 homers and 64 RBI. He was added to the 40-Man roster this offseason and appeared in 14 Spring Training games for the Dodgers, batting .304 (7-for-23) with a double, a homer and six RBI. The Southern California native was originally drafted by the Dodgers in the 25th round of the 2019 First Year Player Draft out of the University of Oregon.
Thompson, 32, left the game last night after the seventh inning. He has appeared in 36 games this season, slashing .155/.310/.366 with five homers and 14 RBI. In his last two seasons with the Dodgers, he has amassed 18 homers while driving in 47 runs in 116 games. He has been in the Major Leagues parts of seven seasons with Chicago (2015, 2018), Los Angeles (2016-17, 2022-2023), Oakland (2018), Chicago-NL (2021) and San Diego (2022), hitting .216 with 44 homers and 123 RBI. He was acquired by the Dodgers on June 20, 2022 from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for cash considerations.
