Foot
June 10, 2013
Thompson suffered a fractured foot and may miss the remainder of the season, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Thompson got his first sniff of the majors in 2012, when he garnered 22 at-bats in 23 appearances with the Rays. At Triple-A Durham this season, he has slashed .250/.330/.314 with no homers, 20 RBI, 33 runs scored, and 22 stolen bases in 188 at-bats. The recent injury has clearly hurt his chances of a September (or earlier) callup over the season's final four months.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2005
2004
Thompson can steal some bases (41 thefts in 2004), but unless he can start hitting with some semblance of pop, he won't be much more than a depth guy in the organization. His main shot at sticking in the big leagues would be as a defensive replacement/pinch-runner.
Thompson hit .257 with 11 RBI and 22 steals in 35 games for Nashville after being acquired in a July trade from Toronto. Thompson can steal some bases and does a decent job of getting on-base, but unless he can start hitting with some semblance of pop, he won't be much more than a depth guy in the organization. Selected by the Padres in the Rule 5 draft, as one of five Pirates taken in the draft, Thompson has a decent chance of sticking as a backup/defensive replacement/pinch-runner.
