Trayce Thompson on White Sox promotion: 'It's definitely surreal'

Two days after his family broke the news via social media, Trayce Thompson answered questions about his promotion in front of his stall in the White Sox clubhouse.

Even though he had known he’d join the White Sox on Monday since early on Saturday after J.B. Shuck went on the disabled list, Thompson was still trying to wrap his head around his first trip to the majors.

Thompson -- who hit .260/.304/.441 slash line with 13 homers at Triple-A Charlotte -- is comfortable but still trying to make sense as he became the fourth member of his family to play at the highest level in his sport.
