Thompson allowed one run on five hits over eight innings Thursday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He struck out four and walked two.
Thompson seems to have found his groove of late. He has allowed just one run over his last three starts with a 12:5 K:BB in 21 innings. Thompson is likely next in line for an opportunity with the Phillies when a spot in their rotation opens up. He does not have big-time upside, but should be a solid mid-rotation starter in time if he continues to develop.
