Struggles as opener Thornton allowed five runs (zero earned) on two hits and two walks while striking out two in one innings Monday against the Rays.
Impact None of the five runs to cross the plate in the first inning were earned due to a fielding error, but Thornton struggled to record the first three outs in his appearance as Toronto's opener. Before fanning the final batter of the frame, he walked in a run and gave up a grand slam. Following his latest outing, the right-hander owns a 2.59 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB across 24.1 innings on the season.

Gets starting nod Monday The Blue Jays announced Thornton would start Monday's game against the Rays, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Two of Thornton's 14 appearances on the season have come as a starter, though he's served as more of an opener on both occasions. Expect that trend to continue Monday, with Thornton likely to work between two or three innings before turning the game over to the bull. Ross Stripling was initially lined up to start Monday, so he could end up acting as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen if Toronto elects to go that route.

Philadelphia Phillies to visit the Toronto Blue Jays
The Phillies will start Aaron Nola on Saturday while the Blue Jays have yet to announce who will take the moundMAY 15, 2021 • Associated Press
Tagged with loss Thornton (1-1) allowed two runs on a hit and two walks with three strikeouts in 1.2 innings, taking the loss Friday versus Philadelphia.
Impact Thornton had little trouble in the sixth inning, but he walked two batters in the seventh, and Tim Mayza allowed both of his inherited runners to score. That left Thornton with the loss. He has a 3.15 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 18:8 K:BB across 20 innings this season. Thornton has logged more than one inning in 10 of his 12 appearances, so he's unlikely to see much high-leverage work.

Picks up first win of 2021 Thornton (1-0) allowed a double but did not allow a run as he picked up the win over Atlanta on Tuesday.
Impact Thornton was called upon to pitch in the seventh and surrendered a double to Christian Pache after getting two easy outs but was able to get out of the inning with no harm done. The Blue Jays tacked on three runs in the eighth and were able to hold on 5-3 which secured the 27-year-old with his first win since September of 2019. Thornton has a solid 2.45 ERA over 18.1 innings but his 1.20 WHIP suggests he's still letting men on too often.

Pitches 2.1 innings as opener Thornton didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Nationals. He gave up two runs on three hits while fanning two across 2.1 innings.
Impact Thornton worked as the opener and didn't stay enough in the game to take part in the decision, but his final stat line didn't turn head by any means. Toronto is still waiting on Nate Pearson (groin) and Ross Stripling (forearm) to return from the injured list, so Thornton might remain in the rotation for the short-term future.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit three home runs, including a grand slam and solo shot off Washington ace Max Scherzer, and had seven RBIs as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Nationals 9-5APRIL 28, 2021 • Associated Press
Opening Tuesday's game Manager Charlie Montoyo said Thornton will serve as the opening pitcher for Tuesday's bullpen game against the Nationals, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Toronto is still waiting on Nate Pearson (groin) and Ross Stripling (forearm) to return from the injured list, so Thornton will make a second straight "spot start" to open the Blue Jays' five-game week. Thornton tossed two innings and 25 pitches in his last turn as an opener April 21, and he shouldn't push significantly past that distance Tuesday. Montoyo mentioned Tommy Milone as one of the relievers likely to eat innings once Thornton exits.
