| It's unclear if John Thomson will be able to make his scheduled start on Tuesday. He's dealing with a back issue, according to the KC Star. "It’s in the middle of the back," he said, "right at the bottom of the rib cage on the left side. We had an early workout Friday and I threw a bullpen (workout). I felt real good. Then Friday night, I stood up after the game after tying my shoes, and it kind of grabbed me. I went to bed Friday night and came here Saturday and I was locked up." Signs point to Thomson heading to the disabled list Monday and being replaced Tuesday by Leo Nunez as the Royals starter. |

| John Thomson allowed three runs, two earned, on six hits over seven innings, and did not walk or strike out anyone in his debut for the Royals Monday night, according to the AP.

|
| John Thomson tested his sore shoulder by throwing a pain-free bullpen session yesterday, according to the Toronto Sun. "He threw for eight minutes and there were no complications," pitching coach Brad Arnsberg said. "He wasn't crunching on anything (going all out) but it was a good effort." He hopes to pitch in a spring game this week. |

| John Thomson told the Blue Jays website that he's been given every indication that he will have a rotation spot if he pitches well in spring training. "[Toronto general manager J.P. Ricciardi] made it seem like, to me and my agent, that I was going in to lose a spot in the rotation," Thomson said. "It's tentative that I'm penciled into the rotation. It kind of depends on the spring training that I have." |

|
| John Thomson agreed to a one-year deal with the Blue Jays on Tuesday, according to the AP. He pitched only 80 1/3 innings in 2006 because of mild fraying in his right shoulder and blister problems on his throwing hand. "We got medical clearance from our doctors, so there is no question about the health," J.P. Ricciardi said. "Last year there was some health issue, but he's pretty much done with them." Thomson is expected to work out of the bullpen, although he could get some starts if the need arises. |

|
| The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that John Thomson underwent an MRI Tuesday, and Braves trainer Jeff Porter said the test revealed "mild fraying of the labrum." Porter added that he didn't "have a timetable yet" for when Thomson will resume throwing. "It's certainly not something that needs surgery," Porter said. "He'll work on his rehab, on his strength and on the endurance of his [rotator] cuff."

|
|
| It's possible that John Thomson could be shut down for the rest of the season after the right-hander had to leave his second rehab start Friday with recurring shoulder soreness, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Thomson hasn't pitched for the Braves since July 9 because of the injury.

| John Thomson, who is on the disabled list with shoulder soreness, is aiming for a return in early August, according to the Braves website.

| John Thomson will begin an accelerated minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday, according to the Braves website. He will pitch two innings, wait two days, and then pitch three innings.

"I just need to get innings and build up my arm strength." |
