CINCINNATI – The Chicago Cubs today optioned left-handed pitcher Kyle Ryan to Triple-A Iowa and recalled right-handed pitcher Keegan Thompson from the South Bend Alternate Site.
Thompson is available for today’s 3:10 p.m. CT game against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park.
Thompson, 26, will make his major league debut with his first appearance after spending the first month of the season at the South Bend Alternate Training Site. The righthander went 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA (5 ER/5.0 IP) with one walk and five strikeouts in four games (one start) in Cactus League play this year. Thompson spent the entire 2020 season at the club’s South Bend Alternate Site.
Dang. The Cubs may not be relying on Trevor Megill, individually, to take their season in one direction or the other, but he is a big, young reliever, with a ton of upside, who throws 99 MPH out of the pen, and who could be a part of their back-end bullpen picture for a long time if things happen just right.
Unfortunately, he was also just sent to the injured list with the dreaded right forearm strain.

Good news update I’ll share up top: According to David Ross (via Russell Dorsey), no Cubs players have tested positive for COVID-19, despite four players showing up on the COVID-19 related IL. That doesn’t mean they can’t still test positive in the near future, but it’s still a good sign. Original post follows.
Well, this is neither new nor entirely unexpected, but it is certainly disappointing for all sorts of reasons. After going all of 2020 without any major COVID-related concerns, the Cubs are dealing with a bit of a problem here in 2021.
First, first base coach Craig Driver tested positive for COVID-19. Then, Cubs bullpen coach Chris Young tested positive for COVID-19 . Then, three relievers (Jason Adam, Brandon Workman, and Dan Winkler) were placed on the COVID related injured list (which, to remind you, does not mean any of them actually tested positive).
