Rest-of-Season Projections
Sharp in 2024 debut
Thompson tossed two scoreless innings of relief with three strikeouts in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners.
ANALYSIS
Thompson was called up from Triple-A Iowa earlier in the day with Jose Cuas getting sent down, and he immediately had a positive impact. The righty can give the Cubs some length out of the bullpen, as he's a former rotation member who made 23 starts for the team between 2021 and 2022. While he could vulture a win here and there, Thompson is unlikely to have a huge fantasy impact in his current role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate for call-up
The Cubs are expected to call up a pitcher Friday to replace Jose Cuas, according to Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald, and Thompson is a likely candidate since he's already on the 40-man roster.
ANALYSIS
Cuas was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, and Thompson is the only other reliever at Iowa already on the 40-man roster. Thompson had a 4.71 ERA and 26:19 K:BB over 28.2 big-league innings last season and missed out on the Opening Day roster. He's struck out seven batters through six frames at Iowa this season, but his control issues have persisted as he's also walked four batters.

He's struck out seven batters through six frames at Iowa this season, but his control issues have persisted as he's also walked four batters.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
On a shaky Chicago pitching staff, Thompson emerged as something of a bright spot in 2022. The righty made 29 appearances and 17 starts, logging a career-high 115 innings while recording a 3.76 ERA and striking out 108 batters. That came on the heels of a solid MLB debut in 2021, when he recorded a 3.38 ERA and 55 strikeouts across 53.1 innings. Thompson had a 5.15 FIP in 2021 and 4.39 FIP last year, so some regression may be coming to his ERA, though his decent strikeout totals lend some degree of optimism moving forward. Thompson finished 2021 in a relief role after a stint on the injured list due to back tightness, though he figures to compete for a rotation spot in 2023. Marcus Stroman should lead the staff, with Kyle Hendricks behind him when healthy. Outside of those two veterans, the Cubs don't have a ton of proven starters, so Thompson could end up with pretty good job security if he pitches well.
