Clinches bullpen spot Manager Charlie Montoyo said Tuesday that Thornton will be part of the Blue Jays' Opening Day bullpen, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Thornton will join Ross Stripling as one of two long-relief options out of the bullpen. The role likely won't lend itself to much high-leverage work, as most of Thornton's usage is expected to come in mop-up situations or in the middle innings. He made 34 of his 37 appearances out of the bullpen for Toronto in 2021 and didn't record a hold or save.

Thornton was unlikely to be available to pitch for at least two days after he struck out four and gave up a run in two innings of relief in Sunday's 22-7 win over the Orioles.

Added as extra man Thornton was added as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against Boston.

Impact The righty appeared in two games after being recalled Sunday, allowing one hit and striking out one in 1.2 scoreless innings.

Rejoins big-league club Thornton was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

Impact Thornton is back with Toronto after spending nearly the past three weeks in the minors. The right-hander has a 4.78 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB across 37.2 innings this season, and he should be a low-leverage option out of the bullpen for the Blue Jays.
