Top Riley Thompson News

  • Cubs' Riley Thompson: Part of Double-A rotation

    Thompson (shoulder) made his season debut Sunday for Double-A Tennessee, tossing three innings and giving up two earned runs on two hits while striking out five in the affiliate's 9-5 loss to Chattanooga.

    Thompson was shut down for the entire 2021 season while dealing with right shoulder tightness, but he reported to spring training at full health. Even though Thompson lost two years of development time due to the injury and the cancellation of the 2020 minor-league season, the Cubs felt comfortable with having him bypass the High-A level entirely.

  • Cubs' Riley Thompson: Dealing with shoulder tightness

    Thompson has missed the entire season due to recurring shoulder tightness but could return sometime in August, Kyle Glaser of Baseball America reports.

    Thompson entered the season as one of Chicago's top pitching prospects, but he is already 25, so this injury came at a terrible time with regards to his development. He has never pitched above Low-A, but he could be given an aggressive assignment if he is able to move past this shoulder issue.
