Red Sox's Trayce Thompson: Six spring homers

Thompson leads the Red Sox this spring with a .391 average and six home runs over 11 games.

Thompson, who is in camp as a non-roster invitee, is doing his best to make the team, although there isn't an obvious path. At the time Thompson was signed in February, Red Sox manager Alex Cora told him to be "on time" with his swing, per Ian Browne of MLB.com. Cora said he'll keep putting Thompson in the spring lineup and see what happens. The 33-year-old outfielder could end up serving as a short-term replacement for Wilyer Abreu, who may not be ready for Opening Day after a gastrointestinal virus caused him to lost a significant amount of weight this spring.
