LOS ANGELES ― Neither of Trayce Thompson’s hits against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday were things of beauty.

One, a soft flare to shallow right field in the third inning, broke up German Marquez’s no-hit bid and led to the Dodgers’ only run of the game. The other, an infield single in the eighth inning, was the Dodgers’ second hit in an eventual 4-1 loss.

The box score has been kind to Thompson lately. Starting in place of Chris Taylor in a pair of weekend games against the Rockies, Thompson went 3 for 4 with four walks and a double.

“He’s obviously since he came up he’s had some big hits for us and played great defense and performed very consistently,” manager Dave Roberts said. “The last couple weeks I think it’s been a little grind for him, but he’s still taking walks when he needs to. For him to get a couple hits I thought was really good. He’s hitting good pitching. His quality of at-bat isn’t going unnoticed.”

Even before Taylor reported a neck injury after batting practice Saturday, it looked safe to pencil Thompson into the Dodgers’ outfield rotation for the National League Division Series.

In 200 at-bats since joining the Dodgers in June, Thompson has 12 home runs and 38 RBIs to go with a .265 average and .888 on-base plus slugging percentage. Even in a deep lineup, Thompson’s numbers compare favorably to his talented peers.

If Thompson makes the NLDS roster, he’ll be poised to make his first appearance in a playoff game at age 31.

“I don’t think about it,” he said. “I just try to go out there and play baseball. I know if I prepare and I believe in myself, I go out there with conviction, I know I can play. … I’m on the team right now, so I’m going to prepare to help the team win tomorrow.”

Thompson’s one-day-at-a-time approach is born of experience. His journey back to the Dodgers since he was placed on waivers in 2018 has been well-documented, with stops in eight different organizations in the last four-plus years. Thompson has a good reason not to look too far ahead: his career to this point hasn’t allowed it.

Now that Thompson’s numbers suggest a playoff roster spot is a sure thing, he insists he is still focused on the process.

“I feel it gets easier as you get older,” he said. “When I first got to the big leagues it was relatively easy for me. Dealing with adversity, getting sent down, coming back, trying to do so much ― you just learn there’s a lot of noise in this game. A lot of noise put on by yourself, really. If you can just quiet that down and unpack it for what it is, it’s baseball.

“The guys who have the most success don’t give any moments away. I try to implement that to my game. I have some really good guys to look up to, some guys to lean on.”

INJURY UPDATES

Utility player Chris Taylor remains day-to-day with a neck injury that he reported after batting practice Saturday. He was held out of the lineup for a second consecutive day Sunday.

Blake Treinen (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a full bullpen Monday, Roberts said, as the right-hander attempts to claim a spot in the Dodgers’ bullpen for the NLDS.

Dustin May (back) threw a bullpen of approximately 35 pitches, after which Roberts praised May’s intensity and execution. The right-hander is also vying for a spot on the NLDS roster, although his workload will be limited if he is able to return.

The uncertainty around what role each pitcher will play this October is unparalleled among the Dodgers’ 10 playoff teams the last 10 seasons.

In September, Craig Kimbrel was demoted from the closer’s job. Left-handed starter Andrew Heaney was paired with an opener in his last appearance in preparation for the postseason. Treinen, May and Tony Gonsolin all spent September battling injuries.

Gonsolin is expected to return to the rotation Monday.

“There are no roles,” Roberts said. “Your role is to pitch when the phone rings and go as long as you can. With that (comes) absolute clarity. We’re right where we need to be right now.”
