    Cardinals transferred LHP Zack Thompson from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list.
    Thompson suffered a torn lat muscle five weeks ago, and he’s now out through at least late May. The 27-year-old spent most of last year as a Triple-A starter and was expected to compete for a bullpen this spring.

    Cardinals placed LHP Zack Thompson on the 15-day injured list with a left lat muscle tear.
    Thompson was shut down 3-4 weeks earlier this month after suffering a tear in his left lat muscle. The 27-year-old lefty will be sidelined until some point in early April and will need several weeks, if not longer, to build up his arm strength and pitch count. He might be an option for the Cardinals at some point in mid-to-late May.

    Cardinals’ president of baseball operations John Mozeliak told reporters on Sunday that LHP Zack Thompson will be sidelined for the next three-to-four weeks after suffering a tear in his left lat muscle.
    Thompson will be shut down completely for that timetable before being re-evaluated. Even if he’s cleared to resume throwing at that point, it’s going to take Thompson a while before he’s built back up and ready to contribute, so don’t be surprised if he misses at least the first month of the regular season as well.

    Cardinals manager Oli Marmol told reporters that Zack Thompson could be an option for St. Louis on Friday against the Brewers.
    Marmol told reporters that Thompson was not in consideration for Sunday’s start as they want the 26-year-old to continue to work on things. Matthew Liberatore is getting the start Sunday, but depending on how things go, St. Louis may not have a choice but to go with Thompson over the weekend.

    Cardinals optioned Zack Thompson to Triple-A Memphis.
    Thompson will head back to the minors after making five appearances (two starts) for St. Louis this season. The 26-year-old posted a 9.53 ERA, 1.88 WHIP with a 20/8 K/BB ratio across his 17 innings of work.

    Zack Thompson yielded three runs in five innings Wednesday in a loss to the Padres.
    Thompson averaged just 90 mph with his fastball today, which isn’t great. He still wasn’t hit particularly hard, but he walked four and gave up a homer to Kyle Higashioka. Thompson has a 6.97 ERA in two starts. Expectations were that he would have made the Cardinals as a swingman if Sonny Gray were healthy to start the year, but with the way he’s performed thus far, he might be sent down when Gray is activated.

    Zack Thompson allowed five runs over 5.1 innings of work in a loss to the Dodgers on Friday.
    Thompson got off to a rough start from the jump, as Mookie Betts connected on a solo homer to leadoff the game. He’d allow two more homers in the contest, both of them to Teoscar Hernández in the second and fourth inning, respectively. This was a tough opener for the 27-year-old lefty against one of the best teams in baseball, but fantasy managers saw plenty of these types of starts from Thompson in 2024. He’ll try to rebound next week against the Padres.

    Zack Thompson will start the second game of the season on Friday against the Dodgers.
    Thompson will take the ball after Opening Day starter Miles Mikolas faces the Dodgers on Thursday. It’ll be Lance Lynn, Steven Matz and Kyle Gibson following him to open the season. There’s zero appeal here for fantasy managers, unless you’re considering a DFS lineup stack with the Dodgers in this matchup.

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol confirmed Friday that Zack Thompson has made the season-opening rotation.
    Marmol added that Matthew Liberatore will be moving to the bullpen. Thompson has pitched well this spring and will get a shot in St. Louis’ rotation with Sonny Gray (hamstring) opening the year on the injured list.

    Zack Thompson yielded two runs in four innings Thursday in a loss to the Astros.
    While there’s a case for giving him Steven Matz’s spot, Thompson appears to be bullpen bound for the Cardinals, at least unless Sonny Gray lands on the injured list. Thompson has a 2.81 ERA in 16 innings this spring.
