Impact Thompson made his big-league debut for Miami in 2021 with 14 starts in 26 appearances, and he pitched well with a 3.24 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 66:28 K:BB across 75 innings. The 28-year-old righty figured to have a hard time cracking Miami's rotation next year, but he could open 2022 as a starter for Pittsburgh with a strong showing in spring training.

Serves as opener in Game 1 start Thompson tossed one inning in his start Tuesday in the Marlins' 5-2 loss to the Mets in the first game of a doubleheader. He struck out three and gave up a run on three hits.

Impact Thompson had previously made 13 starts with the Marlins, but because he had been pitching exclusively out of the bullpen since the start of September, Miami manager Don Mattingly wasn't counting on the rookie right-hander to provide much length. Daniel Castano ended up filling a bulk-relief role once Thompson exited the contest. Thompson is expected to head back to the bullpen for the Marlins' final five games of 2021.

Starting first game of doubleheader Thompson will start the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Thompson has made 13 starts for the Marlins this season but has been pitching out of the bullpen thus far in September. He hasn't recorded more than five outs in over a month, so he'll likely be on some sort of pitch count Tuesday. Thompson owns a 3.16 ERA as a starter this season, though it's taken a .240 BABIP to get there, as he's striking out a modest 20.2 percent of opposing batters.

Moving to bullpen Thompson will shift to a bullpen role going forward, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Thompson was slated to start Wednesday's game against the Mets before it was postponed, and Sandy Alcantara will start Thursday's matchup. The Marlins will likely keep a five-man rotation with Trevor Rogers (personal) back from the restricted list, while Thompson should be one of the top options to fill in if the team needs an additional starter down the stretch.

Wednesday's start postponed Thompson won't start as scheduled Wednesday against the Mets since the game was postponed due to expected inclement weather, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact A poor weather forecast over the next 24-plus hours resulted in an early postponement for Wednesday's contest. Thompson could be pushed back to start Thursday's series finale in New York, though Miami has yet to announce its updated pitching plans.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Hit hard in sixth loss Thompson (2-6) took the loss Friday, giving up five runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk over five innings as the Marlins were dropped 6-0 by the Reds. He struck out one.

Impact The right-hander got no help from his offense or his defense, but this loss was all on Thompson as all six of the hits off him went for extra bases, including a Tyler Naquin solo shot in the first inning. Thompson has only one quality start in his last eight outings, but he's managed a solid 3.72 ERA and 1.19 WHIP despite a mediocre 21:15 K:BB through 38.2 innings over that stretch.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • Associated Press

Solid against Reds Thompson allowed two runs on three hits and one walk with three strikeouts through five innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Reds.

Impact All three of the hits Thompson allowed came in the first inning, but the Reds made two of them count. A Tyler Naquin double led to a Nick Castellanos homer that constituted the two runs the right-hander conceded on the night. While he didn't rack up the strikeouts, Thompson faced the minimum for his remaining four innings. Even though he owns a stellar 2.97 ERA on the season, he is winless in his last eight starts. Such is life for a Miami pitcher in 2021.

Posts quality start Thompson didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Cubs after tossing six innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and fanning three.

Impact Thompson ended with only three strikeouts, but he kept the Cubs offense at bay all game long and recorded his first quality start since early July. While Thompson has gone winless in each of his last seven appearances, he has also given up three or fewer runs in all but one of those outings, posting a 3.63 ERA across 34.2 innings in that span.
