Thompson (personal) was reinstated from the restricted list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has been relatively effective over his last five appearances, as he's picked up two holds while allowing two unearned runs and striking out seven in 5.1 innings. He'll rejoin the Rays' bullpen in Boston after he was unavailable for the team's five-game set in Toronto.

Thompson will be placed on the restricted list and won't travel with Tampa Bay for the upcoming five-game series in Toronto, which begins Thursday, due to Canada's vaccination requirement, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson allowed a walk and had two strikeouts over two scoreless innings during Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Brewers, but he won't be available to face the Blue Jays on the road since he's apparently unvaccinated. The 30-year-old will be able to rejoin the team ahead of Monday's game at Boston.

Thompson did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and retired the side on just eight pitches to record his third save of the season. He hasn't earned a high-leverage role with his performances of late, as he's allowed 13 earned runs across his last 8.2 innings. Despite those struggles, the Rays continue to rotate pitchers through the closer role so Thompson could pick up spare saves while Andrew Kittredge (back) remains sidelined.

Thompson allowed an unearned run on one hit and one walk while striking out two across two innings to blow the save Friday against Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson entered the game in the 11th inning with a one-run lead. He retired the first two batters he faced but ultimately surrendered an RBI single to Austin Hays. Thompson came back out for the 12th inning and set down the side in order. He could see an uptick in save chances if Andrew Kittredge (back) remains sidelined, though Brooks Raley would likely be first in line. Thompson has a mediocre 4.40 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB across 14.1 innings, though he has tallied two saves and three holds on the campaign.

Thompson picked up the save, striking out the only batter he faced in a 2-1 win Thursday over Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson entered the game with two on and two out and struck out Tom Murphy looking. It was the second save for the righty in as many chances. Andrew Kittredge has received the most save opportunities and Thompson is second, although Thursday's save opportunity only came about when a misplayed ball extended the inning. The 29-year-old has not allowed a run this season and has proven trustworthy in high-leverage situations.

Thompson did not allow a baserunner and struck out one across a scoreless ninth inning to record the save Sunday against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson entered the game with a three-run lead and needed 16 pitches to retire the side in order to record his first save of the season. Andrew Kittredge had served as the team's primary closer to this point in the campaign, though he pitched two innings Saturday and was likely unavailable as a result. While Thompson has delivered 6.1 scoreless innings early on this season, he isn't likely to regularly factor into the saves picture for Tampa Bay.

Thompson was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson owns a 3.28 career ERA in 60.1 major-league innings. He'll replace Ryan Yarbrough on the roster after Yarbrough hit the injured list with left groin tightness.

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

EDGE Analysis

Thompson underwent thoracic outlet surgery in September and started spring slowly, but he's been able to make three Grapefruit League appearances. While he'll miss out on the Opening Day roster, he should get plenty of chances this season as the Rays rotate through their relievers with options.

Thompson (shoulder) is listed among Tampa Bay's available relievers for Thursday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson, whose 2021 campaign came to an early end when he underwent thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in September, has been brought along slowly in camp, but he looks as though he'll have a chance at earning a spot in the Rays' Opening Day bullpen. He made his spring debut last Friday, working an inning and giving up one run on one hit and one walk in a game against the Orioles. Thompson apparently checked out fine during that outing, and it looks like he'll be ready to make his second Grapefruit League appearance Thursday. The right-hander still has three minor-league options remaining, so the Rays could choose to send him to one of their affiliates early in the season if they want to give him more time to shake off the rust following surgery.

Thompson (shoulder) is scheduled to face hitters in live batting practice Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson has yet to make his Grapefruit League debut while he works his way back from the thoracic outlet syndrome surgery he required last September, but he seems to be making positive progress in his recovery. Now that he's advanced to facing hitters, Thompson could be integrated into the Rays' spring pitching schedule within the next few days. Since he's a reliever who won't need to build up his pitch count substantially over what's left of spring training, Thompson could still have a chance to break camp as a member of the Opening Day bullpen, though a brief stint on the injured list to begin the season remains a possibility.
