Thriving in spring actionThompson, who was credited with a hold in a Grapefruit League win over the Red Sox on Monday, has yet to allow a run across 2.2 innings over three spring appearances.ImpactThe right-hander also has a couple of strikeouts and has yet to issue a walk, so he's making an excellent impression this spring after holding his own during a rookie 2020 campaign in which he produced a 4.44 ERA across 25 appearances (one start). Thompson's early form appears to have him on relatively firm footing for an Opening Day roster spot, although he will of course have to keep it up for the remainder of the exhibition slate.
