Thompson was sent down to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following Thursday's spot start.
Thompson allowed five earned runs off seven hits and four walks while striking out four over five innings during Thursday's no-decision. He gave up a pair of solo home runs and was in trouble for the entire afternoon, giving up runs in four of his five frames. This was Thompson's first big-league start since July 28 and only his second all year. Although he's headed back to Lehigh Valley for the time being, Thompson is a solid candidate to return to the Phillies once the rosters expand next week.
