Shut down with intercostal strain Thompson (shoulder) has been shut down due to an intercostal strain, Amber Winkler of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Thompson had progressed to throwing off the mound following last August's arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder, but he's now battling a new injury. The left-hander has not made a game appearance at any level since 2024 due to multiple shoulder and lat issues.

The southpaw has initiated a throwing program but hasn't yet gotten back on a mound, so he still has multiple checkpoints to reach in the recovery process before being deemed ready for game action.
