Thompson has been shut down for the final week of the 2021 season due to shoulder soreness, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Thompson was effective enough in Sunday's start, allowing just one run in three innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals. He dealt with a shoulder injury earlier in the year, and the issue apparently flared up Sunday. Manager David Ross didn't sound too concerned about Thompson's current injury, so he should have a relatively normal offseason.
