Ryan Thompson Unlikely To Return This Weekend
3 years agoTampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Ryan Thompson (shoulder) is "progressing" but is unlikely to be ready for the first series after the All-Star break this weekend, according to manager Kevin Cash. However, the club is hopeful that Thompson will rejoin them early in the second half after he goes on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham. The 29-year-old right-handed reliever was shut down for a few days after feeling discomfort on July 8. Thompson should return to the Rays bullpen later this month, barring a setback. He's been pretty reliable in 34 innings of relief in 2021, going 3-2 with a 2.38 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 37/9 K/BB ratio, but he'll only be on the fantasy radar in deeper leagues that count holds.
