Blue Jays pitcher Trent Thornton set to 'take off' in starting role

Posted Jul 16, 2020
Trent Thornton has clung to the Blue Jays' No. 5 starter job through Spring Training, the shutdown and now Summer Camp. Now that a spot is his, it’s time for that next step. Chase Anderson's oblique injury means that Thornton bumps up to the No. 4 job, with a competition behind him instead of around him. Thornton is focused on efficiency. (MLB.com)
