Thompson was placed on the 15-day DL on Saturday with lower back irritation.

The Dodgers were forced to make a move with Thompson's discomfort persisting through the All-Star break, but with a backdated stint, he'll be eligible to return in just 10 days. Zach Walters was recalled to provide depth in the meantime, while Andrew Toles and Scott Van Slyke figure to share time in center, at least until Joc Pederson (shoulder) is cleared to return.
