Thompson is being considered to join the Phillies' rotation after Aaron Nola was placed on the DL with an elbow strain, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
The team had talked about adding Thompson as a sixth starter, but Nola heading to the DL makes this scenario even more likely. Thompson has been lights out over his last 10 starts at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, going 7-0 and posting a 1.32 ERA.
