Thompson came away with a no-decision in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Marlins, allowing only one run on three hits over six innings while striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

It was a strong return to the rotation for the 23-year-old, who threw 59 of 88 pitches for strikes in his first quality start in the big leagues this season. Thompson will take a 4.50 ERA, not to mention some renewed confidence, into his next outing -- a tough road matchup Friday against the Nationals.

Thompson will be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday to start against the Marlins, Walter Villa of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has made six appearances, including three starts, for the Phillies this season, going 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA. He's struggled in the minors this season as well, but the Phillies have limited options to fill their opening in the rotation with Jared Eickhoff (hand) out for the rest of the year. Thompson could be a good target to stack hitters against in daily fantasy lineups Sunday.

Thompson will likely replace Jared Eickhoff (hand) in the Phillies' rotation, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eickhoff could miss the rest of the season with nerve irritation in his right hand. Thompson has a 5.40 ERA and a 14:11 K:BB in 20 innings with the Phillies this season. If he is the choice to replace Eickhoff, his first start will come Sunday against the Marlins. The Phillies could also consider going with Henderson Alvarez or Drew Anderson to fill their rotation opening.

Thompson was sent down to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following Thursday's spot start.

EDGE Analysis

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 of the 2017 season. 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.

Thompson has been recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in advance of his Thursday start, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson, who owns a 5-13 record with a 5.34 ERA in the minors this year, will likely be in the big league rotation for just one turn. To make room on the roster, right-hander Ricardo Pinto was optioned to Triple-A.

The Phillies will recall Thompson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Thursday's game against the Marlins, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Phillies playing six games in five days this week due to Tuesday's doubleheader, Thompson will join the rotation as a temporary sixth starter. It's unlikely that Thompson will be needed in a starting role beyond Thursday, but if the bullpen is in need of additional depth during the weekend, the right-hander could stick around with the big club and transition to long-relief duty.

Thompson was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson is heading back to Triple-A after a rough outing earlier this week. The Phillies have an off-day Monday, which could allow them to bring up a reliever temporarily and skip Thompson's rotation spot. Mark Leiter, Zach Eflin and Ben Lively (knee) are the likely options to eventually fill the rotation opening.

Manager Pete Mackanin was noncommittal when asked if Thompson would make his next scheduled start, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson gave up seven runs in five innings against the Angels on Wednesday, but only two runs were earned. Some defensive miscues helped save his ERA from blowing up, but Thompson did not pitch well. The Phillies could turn to Mark Leiter, Zach Eflin or Ben Lively (knee) to take Thompson's spot if they want to go in another direction.

Thompson (1-1) was tagged for seven runs -- just two earned -- on nine hits over five innings in Wednesday's loss to the Angels. He struck out two and walked one.

EDGE Analysis

Yes, he can place some blame on his defense for giving away outs, but Thompson also surrendered three home runs and generated only three swing-and-misses on 92 pitches. The 23-year-old righty has been a mixed bag at best early on, and he may have trouble holding onto his rotation spot after this outing. With nothing to play for, the Phillies are evaluating their players with an eye on the future, which could lead to more starting opportunities for Thompson. However, they have other young starters to look at too.

Manager Pete Mackanin said Thompson will remain in the rotation for now, Gordie Jones of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson earned another start after working five scoreless innings Friday as a last-minute fill-in for Jeremy Hellickson. The 2012 second-round pick has struggled at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season, but started to turn things around in July by making better use of his changeup. He'll face the Angels in his next start.
