Young Cubs right-hander Keegan Thompson bounced back from two bad starts in Cubs’ 1-0 victory over Atlanta.
“Part of this year is allowing those guys to get experience,” he said.
“He pitched with some meaning today,” said Ross, who was impressed with Thompson’s renewed aggressiveness with his four-seam fastball — an emphasis after shying away from it more recently. Whether Thompson is in the rotation, the bullpen or in the mix at all the next time the Cubs sniff the playoffs, adjustments like Friday’s are what the rest of this Cubs season is all about — what Hoyer and his staff are measuring as they try to hoist their process from this dumpster-fire-in-the-making of a 2022 season.
