The Diamondbacks selected Thompson's contract from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona designated right-hander Nabil Crismatt for assignment to clear room in the bullpen for Thompson, who could make his Diamondbacks debut in Sunday's series finale with the Reds. Before inking a minor-league deal with Arizona earlier this month following his release from Tampa Bay, Thompson had produced a 6.11 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB in 17.2 innings at the big-league level with the Rays this season.

Thompson (undisclosed) signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Sunday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson saw some high-leverage work with the Rays between 2021 and 2022 but struggled earlier this year, posting a 6.11 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 17.2 innings over 18 relief appearances. He was on the injured list with an undisclosed issue before being released by Tampa Bay, and it's not yet clear whether he's back to full health.

The Rays released Thompson on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was removed from the 40-man roster Wednesday and has now been cut loose entirely after clearing waivers. The veteran reliever had a nice run with the Rays from 2020 through 2022 but has produced a 6.11 ERA and 12:7 K:BB over 17.2 innings at the major-league level this season. Thompson had been on the injured list at Triple-A Durham, and it's not clear at this point if he's healthy.

EDGE Analysis

This move clears out a 26-man roster spot for Aaron Civale, who was acquired from the Guardians on Monday and is expected to make his Rays debut in a start this Saturday against the Tigers. Thompson did not make an appearance during his two-day stint in the Tampa Bay bullpen.

Thompson was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has split time pretty evenly between Triple-A and the majors this season. He has a 3.26 ERA and 61.4 percent groundball rate in 19.1 innings at Triple-A and a 6.11 ERA in 17.2 innings in the big leagues. He should work in low-leverage situations.

Thompson was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

One day after being called up, Thompson will return to Durham. He appeared Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Phillies, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits while striking out a batter over one inning. In a corresponding move, Elvin Rodriguez had his contract selected from Triple-A and he'll replace Thompson in the major-league bullpen.

Thompson was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rays needed six pitchers to get through Wednesday's loss to the Phillies, so they're bringing in Thompson as a fresh bullpen arm. He's posted a 5.94 ERA in 17 appearances with Tampa Bay in 2023.

Thompson was optioned Thursday to Triple-A Durham, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pete Fairbanks (hip) is back from the injured list, so Thompson gets the boot. He's struggled to a 5.94 ERA and 11:7 K:BB in 16.2 innings of work this year out of the Rays' bullpen.

Tampa Bay recalled Thompson from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson gives the Rays a fresh arm in the bullpen, and he forged a 2.25 ERA over three appearances with Durham after being demoted to Triple-A on May 22. The right-hander has struggled in the majors with a 6.60 ERA over his 16 appearances in 2023, and he isn't likely to see a plethora of high-leverage chances while he's with the club. Jose Lopez was optioned back to Durham in the corresponding move.

Thompson was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson will head to Durham after he's surrendered at least one run in four out of his last five appearances. Over that stretch, the right-hander has given up nine runs over five frames, raising his season-long ERA from 1.80 to 6.60. He'll look to recenter himself with Triple-A before being returned to the major-league roster later this season. In a corresponding move, right-hander Cooper Criswell will join the Rays in Tampa Bay.
