CHICAGO -- Before we get to tonight's big-league game at Wrigley Field, a weather update from Reading, Pa. Class AA Harrisburg's game tonight against the Phillies has been postponed due to rain.
Thus, Stephen Strasburg's fourth minor-league start will be pushed back to Tuesday. They'll play a twi-night doubleheader tomorrow, with Strasburg starting the first game at 6:30 p.m.
That also means Strasburg's next start won't be until Sunday in Harrisburg. That's assuming, of course, he doesn't get promoted to Class AAA Syracuse before then.
In other minor-league news, Aaron Thompson has been sent back down from Syracuse to Harrisburg. The left-hander had been promoted last week and pitched well in his Class AAA debut, allowing one run over five innings. But he was needed for only one outing, taking the spot that had been opened when Luis Atilano was promoted to Washington. Not sure who will take that rotation spot now at Syracuse.
