Thompson allowed two hits and two walks over six shutout innings in Friday's win over Atlanta. He stuck out nine and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson found himself in a duel with Charlie Morton and the Cubs' offense wasn't able to break the scoreless tie until the eighth inning. The 27-year-old never faced much of a threat and, at one point, retired 10 straight batters. Friday was his second scoreless outing as a starter this year, lowering his season ERA to 3.27 through 55 frames. Thompson had allowed 15 runs (13 earned) over just nine innings in his previous three starts. He's lined up to start in Pittsburgh next week.

Thompson (6-2) allowed five runs (three earned) on three hits and three walks while failing to strike out a batter in two-thirds of an inning to take the loss in Sunday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees' bats were hot throughout Sunday's matchup, as they combined to score 18 runs. Thompson was handed his second straight defeat during the blowout loss, and he's been charged with back-to-back losses after picking up four consecutive wins between late May and early June. The righty has posted a 3.67 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 49 innings over 14 appearances (six starts) to begin the season, and he tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against Atlanta on Friday.

Thompson (6-1) took the loss Tuesday in Baltimore, allowing seven runs on five hits, two hit batsmen and a walk while striking out one in three innings.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson allowed home runs on two of his first three pitches and gave up a third blast in the second inning. His night ended after only 50 pitches as he allowed multiple runs in each of the three innings. Thompson allowed only three homers in his first 45.1 innings this season and was taken deep three times in his first time through the order Tuesday. His next start will likely come early next week against San Diego.

Thompson (6-0) allowed three runs on five hits across 5.1 innings to earn the win Thursday against the Cardinals. He walked three and struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson wasn't dominant, but he did enough to maintain his perfect record this year. It was only the righty's fourth start of the season, as two of his six wins so far came in relief. He should stick in the rotation for now, particularly with Wade Miley (shoulder) and Drew Smyly (oblique) both on the injured list. Thompson will carry a 1.99 ERA into his next scheduled start Wednesday against the Orioles.

Thompson (5-0) earned the win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

As has been the case throughout the season so far, Thompson was stingy on the mound against the Cubs' crosstown rivals, allowing only one run over five frames. The right-hander has started in only three of his 11 appearances, but he's logged at least 2.2 innings in every outing and has yet to allow more than two earned runs. In addition to a perfect 5-0 record, Thompson has posted a 1.58 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB over 40 innings.

Thompson is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the White Sox, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson is poised to make his third start of the season Saturday as Chicago enters a week with a pair of doubleheaders. As a result of the twin bills, the right-hander may receive an additional turn through the rotation. He's been a force on the mound for the Cubs this season with a 1.54 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB over 35 innings.

Thompson (4-0) earned the win during Sunday's 5-4 victory over Arizona, allowing one run on two hits with four strikeouts in three relief innings.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson relieved starter Wade Miley in the seventh inning and let in the go-ahead run, but Chicago was able to rally in the bottom of the eighth to give the 27-year-old his fourth win. Thompson figures to keep a high-leverage bullpen role now that Chicago has five healthy starters and can still prove to be a valuable asset, though a 3.53 FIP suggests his 1.54 ERA will increase soon.

Thompson (3-0) registered the win during Tuesday's 7-0 victory over Pittsburgh, allowing four hits with five strikeouts in five scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Making his second start of the season, Thompson shut down Pittsburgh's offense in allowing no more than one baserunner per inning. After exceeding expectations in a multi-inning role, the 27-year-old has seen that success carry over with a total of two runs allowed on nine hits and two walks with six strikeouts in nine innings. Thompson and his 1.41 ERA should have the inside track to get the nod for Sunday's game against Arizona, though Chicago is yet to tab a starter.

Thompson will start Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson made his first start of the season Wednesday against the Padres, allowing two runs on five hits and a pair of walks while fanning one over four innings. He also threw a season-high 61 pitches, so it seems likely that Chicago will hold him around that number if his outing goes well.

Thompson pitched four innings, giving up two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one in Wednesday's win over the Padres. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was called upon to make his first start of the season Wednesday, surrendering one run in the first inning and then another one on an Eric Hosmer solo homer in the second frame. The 27-year-old has now allowed five runs over his last four appearances after tossing 13.2 scoreless innings to open the season. Thompson will likely return to his typical bullpen role following the start and he now holds a 1.67 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 22 strikeouts over 27 innings in 2022.
