Zach Thompson Back On The Bump Saturday
Zach Thompson (illness) is returning to the mound on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies after being scratched from his final outing before the All-Star break due to an illness. The 27-year-old rookie has been great for the Fish and fantasy managers in his first five starts at the big league level, going 2-2 with a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 31/7 K/BB in 24 innings pitched. It's unlikely that Thompson will be this good for the rest of the season, but he's earned consideration as a streamer in mixed leagues because of his results so far. But he'll a much riskier play on Saturday against the Phillies in his first start back from an illness.
