  • Thompson agreed to a contract with the Cubs to avoid arbitration on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. Thompson has bounced between Triple-A Iowa and the big leagues for the last two seasons, but he was effective out of the bullpen across 30.1 innings for the Cubs in 2024 by maintaining a 2.67 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. His control (14.2 BB%) will likely keep him from a high-leverage role, but he should contribute as a reliever in 2025.

  • Cubs' Keegan Thompson: Notches one-out save
    By RotoWire

    Thompson struck out the only batter he faced to earn a save over the Nationals on Friday. Thompson struck out Dylan Crews with two runners on base to finish off the 7-6 win. It was Thompson's second save of the year and first since June 18. He's currently riding a 6.2-inning scoreless streak at the MLB level, lowering his season ERA to 3.26. Thompson took over the ninth inning after Tyson Miller and Drew Smyly each recorded one out, while Porter Hodge hasn't been called upon since a 36-pitch appearance Wednesday.

  • The Cubs recalled Thompson from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He'll absorb the roster spot vacated by Julian Merryweather (knee), who went on the 15-day injured list. Thompson, 29, has posted a 3.50 ERA and 26:10 K:BB over 18 innings during his time with the big club in 2024.

  • The Cubs reinstated Thompson (rib) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Iowa, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. Thompson had been on the shelf since late June with a right rib fracture but is back to full health after making four rehab appearances. The Cubs don't have a spot in the bullpen available for Thompson at the moment, but the right-hander should rank near the top of the list for a call-up if the club needs a fresh relief arm at any point.

  • Thompson (ribs) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports. It would appear to be the first time he's faced hitters since going down with a right rib fracture in late June. Thompson should be cleared for a rehab assignment soon if all goes well, with a return likely pegged for early August.
