Cubs' Keegan Thompson: Ejected Saturday

Thompson was ejected from Saturday's game against the Brewers after hitting Andrew McCutchen in the top of the eighth inning, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Thompson threw inside on back-to-back pitches, with the second pitch hitting McCutchen. The incident caused the benches to clear, and Thompson was ejected from the game as a result. Prior to his departure, he allowed no hits and a walk while striking out four in 2.2 scoreless relief innings. While the right-hander was in the mix for a rotation spot this spring, he's taken on a bullpen role early in the year. It's not yet clear whether he'll face discipline from the league following Saturday's game.
