Thompson made 22 begins for Pittsburgh final season. The six-foot-seven, 250-pounder was 3-10 with a 5.18 earned-run common over 29 appearances.
The 29-year-old native of Burleson, Texas, was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in 2014. He made his big-league debut in 2021 with the Miami Marlins.
In 55 profession appearances — together with 36 begins — Thompson is 6-17 with a 4.44 ERA.
Young, 25, cut up final season between Single-A Dunedin and Triple-A Buffalo. He hit .237 with six homers and 22 RBIs over 70 mixed video games.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Blue Jays designated right-hander Junior Fernandez for project.
