Dodgers Trade for Tigers' Trayce Thompson After Mookie Betts' Rib Injury

The Los Angeles Dodgers acquiring some outfield help with star Mookie Betts on the injured list because of a cracked rib.

Los Angeles announced it traded cash considerations to the Detroit Tigers for Trayce Thompson.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic previously reported the National League West team is interested in a right-handed-hitting outfielder who would come at "minimal prospect cost."

Rosenthal noted any newly acquired player could platoon with Eddy Alvarez in right field, although another option was to promote the highly regarded Miguel Vargas to provide more pop to the lineup.
