MIAMI – The Cubs activated right-hander Keegan Thompson from the 15-day IL on Wednesday, giving him the chance to finish out his first full major-league season.
“He’s had a really nice season up to this point,” Cubs manager David Ross said. “And trying to take care of his body, get him back full strength from a stamina standpoint, … making sure he’s completely healthy was a top priority for us. And he feels good and wants to go out there and get back on there and help her help his team win. He’s worked really hard in the weight room and in the training room, and we’re happy to have him back.
