Jake Thompson will not be making his final scheduled start of the 2016 season.
After taking the loss in Sunday’s 17-0 drubbing at the hands of the New York Mets, the Phillies have decided to shutdown the young starter.
This was Thompson’s last start of the season, Mackanin said. Bullpen game on his next turn.

Thompson was scheduled to start this Saturday at Citizens Bank Park, in the second-to-last game of the 2016 season. Mackanin did not talk about who would make the spot start in Thompson’s place.
The way the Phillies have been pitching lately, it doesn’t really matter who it is.
