Rockies add pitching depth with right-hander Keegan Thompson

The Rockies continue to troll the waiver wire in an attempt to boost their pitching.

On Wednesday, the club added 30-year-old right-hander Keegan Thompson to its 40-man roster.

The Rockies claimed Thompson from the Reds, who signed him in the fall but designated him for assignment in December when they needed a major league roster spot for newly signed outfielder JJ Bleday.

Thompson is out of minor league options. He’ll pitch on a split deal in 2026, making $1.3 million in the majors.

Thompson, a third-round pick by the Cubs out of Auburn in 2017, could provide the Rockies with some versatility.
