11/05/24	Arizona Diamondbacks 2024 Player Review: Ryan Thompson. This article is part of a series chronicling the individual seasons of players who appeared for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2024. Reviews for players who still have rookie eligibility for 2025 will appear in our prospect season reviews. When the Diamondbacks signed right-handed reliever Ryan Thompson to a minor league deal midway through the 2023 season, no one, except perhaps general manager Mike Hazen, had any idea of how impactful the move would be. Thompson brought consistent stability to Arizona's bullpen, immediately stepping into a high-leverage role, with his devastating arsenal and confounding sidearm angle baffling opposing hitters and pitching to a stellar 0.69 ERA with the D-backs in the regular season.

8/31/24	Why did Diamondbacks go to Paul Sewald in key moment of loss to Dodgers?. In a shootout 10-9 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, the Arizona Diamondbacks had to make some tough decisions with the bullpen. Ryan Thompson was unavailable and manager Torey Lovullo wanted to stay away from Justin Martinez, as the duo had pitched in each of the previous two games. Starter Zac Gallen did not have great feel for his pitches early, although he gutted out five innings and left with the two sides tied 5-5. The biggest moment for the bullpen came in the seventh inning when Paul Sewald entered down 6-5 with two runners on and one out. Source: https://arizonasports.com/story/3556427/why-did-th...
8/03/24	Diamondbacks to manage "fluid" closer situation. Ryan Thompson received the first nod to close a game after Paul Sewald's removal from the closer role on Friday, and although it wasn't perfect, Thompson recorded his second straight save. Thompson has been the D-backs' eighth inning man setting up Sewald all season, and he came to the rescue on Wednesday with the bases loaded and one out to salvage a sweep of the Nationals.

8/01/24	D-backs face Pirates playing up to 'expectation'. The Arizona Diamondbacks would like to see their scintillating play in July carry over into August when they open a three-game series against the host Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. Winners in 17 of 25 games last month, the Diamondbacks closed July with a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals to move a season-high seven games over .500. Arizona went into MLB play Thursday occupying the third and final wild-card spot in the National League. "I think this is what we expected from the beginning of the season," Diamondbacks reliever Ryan Thompson said after the team's 5-4 victory over the Nationals on Wednesday.

7/05/22	Nick Pivetta hit hard, Red Sox leave too many runners stranded in loss to Rays. Yet while Pivetta found his groove, the Red Sox offense proved inept in scoring opportunities, stranding a pair of runners in the third, fourth, and most painfully, the fifth inning. In the ill-fated fifth, with Springs replaced by righthanded slinger Ryan Thompson, a pair of opposite-field hits — a single by Rob Refsnyder and double by J.D. Martinez (his second of the game) — put runners on second and third with none out. The Sox, however, could not pluck the low-hanging fruit.
