Thompson elected to become a free agent Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The righty cleared waivers after being removed from Atlanta's 40-man roster but has decided to look for a gig elsewhere rather than accepting an outright assignment to the minors. Thompson has thrown 3.2 scoreless innings across two appearances in the majors in 2025.

Atlanta designated Thompson for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster to outfielder Eddie Rosario, whom Atlanta signed to a one-year contract. The 31-year-old Thompson previously made two appearances out of the big-league bullpen earlier this month but had struggled since returning to Triple-A Gwinnett on April 16, giving up six runs (three earned) on seven hits and three walks over 4.1 innings.

Atlanta optioned Thompson to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson retired all seven batters he faced during a relief appearance Tuesday, but he will clear out to make room on the roster for the return of Spencer Strider (elbow). The 31-year-old Thompson could get another look when the big club needs a reliever capable of eating some innings.

Atlanta recalled Thompson from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was up for a week earlier this season but didn't make an appearance. He will provide length in the bullpen for Atlanta.

Atlanta optioned Thompson to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson is clearing out to make room on the roster for Rafael Montero, who is officially active Wednesday after being acquired via trade from Houston. The 31-year-old Thompson was with the big club for a week but didn't make an appearance.

Atlanta selected Thompson's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta is in need of a reliever capable of eating innings and Thompson is a theoretical fit since he totaled nine frames in two Grapefruit League appearances. The 31-year-old missed the entirety of the 2024 season while recovering from flexor tendon surgery and hasn't pitched in the big league since 2022.

Thompson agreed to a minor-league contract with Atlanta in October of 2024.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson spent the 2024 season rehabbing surgery to repair a partially torn flexor tendon and appears on track to begin the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Gwinnett. He'll toe the rubber for Atlanta's final exhibition of the spring Tuesday against the Cubs before presumably being reassigned to the minors.

Thompson cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being DFA'd by the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Thompson will remain with their Triple-A affiliate but no longer holds a spot on the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old righty has a 6.89 ERA and 1.55 WHIP through 47 innings this season and would need to turn things around quickly to have a chance at playing in the big leagues in 2023.

The Blue Jays designated Thompson for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson was sent to Triple-A after failing to make the Jays' roster out of spring training, and he hasn't fared well since. He holds a 6.89 ERA and 1.55 WHIP through 47 innings across 11 starts. His poor performance means he likely won't see the majors anytime soon, but he could be scooped up by a team hoping he returns to his 2021 form.
