Thompson (wrist) successfully threw an indoor bullpen session Wednesday, Ryan Lawrence of The Philly Voice reports.
EDGE Analysis
The young right-hander has been held back from pitching activities while dealing with soreness in his right wrist. Thompson made ten starts for the Phillies last season, posting a 5.70 ERA and a 32:28 K:BB ratio. Expect him to begin the year at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, barring any major injuries to the starting rotation.

Thompson could be a little behind the other pitchers in camp due to some mild soreness in his right wrist, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies have all five rotation spots set, so Thompson isn't going to get an opportunity to start the year in the majors unless injuries strike this spring. He struggled during his first look in the majors late last season, going 3-6 with a 5.70 ERA and a 32:28 K:BB in 53.2 innings. He is expected to start the year back at Triple-A, but should be one of the top options to come up when the Phillies need a starter.

Thompson (3-5) beat the White Sox after allowing three runs on four hits and three walks with one strikeout in five innings Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This wan't exactly a stellar effort from Thompson, but a win's a win. He got some rare run support from Philadelphia's league-worst offense, and has now come up victorious in consecutive appearances. Sunday's road matchup with a subpar Mets lineup offers a great opportunity for the 2012 second-rounder to maintain his momentum.

Thompson (2-5) went six strong innings Wednesday, allowing two runs on six hits, two walks, and three strikeouts, earning his second win against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson entered Wednesday with a 6.05 ERA over seven starts, and lowered his ERA to 5.64. Despite the poor numbers overall, Thompson now has four straight starts allowing two runs or fewer, and has quality start in three of his last four. He still has just a 1.4 K:BB, a figure he'll need to improve if he wants to find consistent success at the major league level. Thompson held a 2.50 ERA in 21 starts with Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2016.

Thompson allowed two runs on five hits over 5.1 innings Friday against the Nationals. He struck out five and walked one.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson opened his major league career with four straight poor starts, but he's reeled off three straight solid starts now after simplifying his delivery with the help of pitching coach Bob McClure. He's given up just five runs in his last 19.1 innings. He will face the Pirates at home in his next start.

GM Matt Klentak said the Phillies are monitoring Thompson's workload, but have not settle on a specific innings cap for this season, Jeff Neiburg of CSN Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson is up to 163 innings between his starts in Triple-A and the majors. Klentak indicated Thompson can be pushed a little further into September since he had a heavier workload last year between his minor league starts, the Double-A playoffs and the Pan Am Games.

Thompson (1-5) was once again the victim of poor run support in Sunday's loss to the Braves, allowing just one run on four hits and four walks over seven innings while striking out six.
EDGE Analysis
The lone run came on a second inning solo shot my Matt Kemp, but that was more than enough on a day when Julio Teheran and three relievers were combining for a shutout. Thompson's now posted back-to-back quality starts but he's also walked four batters in three of his last four outings, so he could have a hard time making it three in a row Friday in Washington without finding a way to sharpen his command.
