ZACH THOMPSON NEWS

Moving to bullpen Thompson will shift to a bullpen role going forward, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Thompson was slated to start Wednesday's game against the Mets before it was postponed, and Sandy Alcantara will start Thursday's matchup. The Marlins will likely keep a five-man rotation with Trevor Rogers (personal) back from the restricted list, while Thompson should be one of the top options to fill in if the team needs an additional starter down the stretch.

Wednesday's start postponed Thompson won't start as scheduled Wednesday against the Mets since the game was postponed due to expected inclement weather, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact A poor weather forecast over the next 24-plus hours resulted in an early postponement for Wednesday's contest. Thompson could be pushed back to start Thursday's series finale in New York, though Miami has yet to announce its updated pitching plans.

Hit hard in sixth loss Thompson (2-6) took the loss Friday, giving up five runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk over five innings as the Marlins were dropped 6-0 by the Reds. He struck out one.

Impact The right-hander got no help from his offense or his defense, but this loss was all on Thompson as all six of the hits off him went for extra bases, including a Tyler Naquin solo shot in the first inning. Thompson has only one quality start in his last eight outings, but he's managed a solid 3.72 ERA and 1.19 WHIP despite a mediocre 21:15 K:BB through 38.2 innings over that stretch.

Solid against Reds Thompson allowed two runs on three hits and one walk with three strikeouts through five innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Reds.

Impact All three of the hits Thompson allowed came in the first inning, but the Reds made two of them count. A Tyler Naquin double led to a Nick Castellanos homer that constituted the two runs the right-hander conceded on the night. While he didn't rack up the strikeouts, Thompson faced the minimum for his remaining four innings. Even though he owns a stellar 2.97 ERA on the season, he is winless in his last eight starts. Such is life for a Miami pitcher in 2021.
