Fantasy Impact
The Rockies added TJ Rumfield and Brett Sullivan to their 40-man roster on Wednesday, and Thompson was designated for assignment to clear room. Thompson posted a solid 3.64 ERA in 104 outings (23 starts) for the Cubs from 2021-2024.
Keegan Thompson has been claimed off of waivers by the Colorado Rockies. Thompson was designed for assignment by the Reds in late December.
Fantasy Impact
Thompson has not pitched at the major league level since 2024. The righthander pitched for the Cubs from 2021-24 and had some success as both a starter and a reliever. He won 10 games for the Cubs in 2022 and has posted a career ERA of 3.64 in 227.1 career innings. Given the state of Colorado's pitching, Thompson has a great chance to make the opening day roster and could be used in either role.
Keegan Thompson has been designated for assignment by the Cincinnati Reds. The move opens a spot on the 40-man roster to make room for outfielder JJ Bleday, who signed earlier Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Thompson, who will turn 31 at the beginning of the season, has not pitched at the major league level since 2024. The righthander pitched for the Cubs from 2021-24 and had some success as both a starter and a reliever. He won 10 games for the Cubs in 2022 and has posted a career ERA of 3.64 in 227.1 career innings. His walk rate of 11.3% and home run rate of 3.1% have hurt him in the past, but he has allowed opponents to hit just .224 and has a strikeout rate of 23.0%, including a career-high 28.3% in 2024. Teams in need of bullpen help could do worse than Thompson and would only have to absorb $1.3 million.
Keegan Thompson has elected free agency.
Fantasy Impact
Thompson did not appear in the majors this season. He will be free to sign with any team.
