Reds 2, Cubs 3
Thompson logs first start
Right-hander Keegan Thompson’s ramp-up plan: stay healthy.
“I’m not going to move any quicker than I should,” he said. “I think that’s the big thing for everyone here. We’re not trying to rush. We’re just trying to build up as safely as possible.”
He got off on the right foot on Monday, giving up two hits and striking out three in two hitless innings.
Thompson made his major-league debut last season. The Cubs planned to build him up to starter’s minutes toward the end of the year.
