Thompson will likely replace Jared Eickhoff (hand) in the Phillies' rotation, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Eickhoff could miss the rest of the season with nerve irritation in his right hand. Thompson has a 5.40 ERA and a 14:11 K:BB in 20 innings with the Phillies this season. If he is the choice to replace Eickhoff, his first start will come Sunday against the Marlins. The Phillies could also consider going with Henderson Alvarez or Drew Anderson to fill their rotation opening.
