Keegan Thompson - Page 9 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Lands on 10-day IL Thompson was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Thompson's placement on the injured list doesn't come as a surprise after manager David Ross said Tuesday that the right-hander will be shut down for the final week of the season. The 26-year-old made 32 appearances (six starts) during his first major-league season in 2021, posting a 3.38 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 53.1 innings.

Shut down for season Thompson has been shut down for the final week of the 2021 season due to shoulder soreness, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Thompson was effective enough in Sunday's start, allowing just one run in three innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals. He dealt with a shoulder injury earlier in the year, and the issue apparently flared up Sunday. Manager David Ross didn't sound too concerned about Thompson's current injury, so he should have a relatively normal offseason.

Strikes out seven Sunday Thompson allowed one run across three innings and did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Cardinals. He gave up three hits and a walk while striking out seven.

Impact A Paul Goldschmidt solo home run was the only damage against Thompson, but the Cubs still limited the righty to just 56 pitches despite setting a season high with the seven strikeouts in three innings. He threw only 40 pitches in his previous outing, which was his first start after missing a few weeks due to shoulder inflammation, so the organization is clearly just being cautious with nothing to play for. Thompson is currently slated to start the final game of the season next Sunday against the Cardinals and may see his pitch count inch upward, though he still likely won't work too deep into the contest.

Remains in rotation Thompson is scheduled to make his next start Sunday against the Cardinals at Wrigley Field.

Impact Following a two-and-a-half-week-long absence due to shoulder inflammation, Thompson returned from the injured list last weekend and tossed two innings in a start against the Brewers. The Cubs deliberately capped Thompson at 40 pitches coming off the injury, but he should have a looser restriction Sunday. That being said, the Cubs aren't likely to ask him to work more than 4-to-5 innings, so Thompson could face a tough path to collecting a win.

Impact After being reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the series finale in Milwaukee without completing a rehab assignment beforehand, Thompson had his workload restricted in his return. He was lifted after just 40 pitches, with Adrian Sampson (four innings, 55 pitches) piggybacking him in the outing. Thompson likely won't be tasked with handling a traditional starter's workload when his next turn in the rotation comes up this weekend versus St. Louis, so he could be deployed in tandem with Sampson once again.

Activated, starting Sunday Thompson (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start Sunday's game against the Brewers, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Thompson is back with the Cubs after right shoulder inflammation sidelined him since Sept. 2. He allowed seven earned runs in his last 3.2 innings before the injury, but he was very effective before those two bad outings and boasts a 3.54 ERA in 48.1 innings this season. Thompson hasn't provided a ton of length in any of his outings this season, so he should only be expected to a go a few innings in his first start off the IL.

Impact Thompson landed on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation Sept. 4, but it appears to have been a minor issue given the lack of a significant shutdown period. The 26-year-old will be reevaluated Wednesday and could return sometime in the next week if he has no further issues.
