Rest-of-Season Projections
Solid through five appearances
Thornton has pitched 4.2 innings across five Cactus League appearances, allowing four runs (two earned) on three hits and four walks while recording two strikeouts.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander's numbers are a bit deceiving, as all of his trouble has come in just two of those outings. Thornton has otherwise posted a trio of one-inning scoreless appearances after impressing last season following his arrival in a trade with the Blue Jays. The 30-year-old has 36 career starts at the big-league level, and Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports that manager Scott Servais plans to deploy Thornton in a multi-inning role out of the bullpen when necessary.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Favorite for starting role
Thornton is the favorite to be named the fifth starter in the Blue Jays' rotation to begin the season, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Thornton surprisingly emerged to pitch the most innings for the big-league team in 2019. However, the club added a number of arms this offseason and also has multiple prospects who are close to major-league ready. That said, even if Thornton manages to earn a starting role out of camp, he'll need to perform well to maintain it.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Thornton was feared to have required Tommy John surgery, but he only needed surgery to remove loose bodies in his right elbow at the beginning of September. As a result, he should be ready for the start of the 2021 campaign. The right-hander battled elbow issues over most of the season in 2020, and he only made three starts as a result. Thornton's production was skewed by a limited sample, but he still improved to a 2.66 FIP, although his 5.22 SIERA left something to be desired. He showed promise during his rookie season in 2019, but it's not yet clear how he'll perform after surgery. Thornton has a five-pitch arsenal, but he has a middling 92.2 mph average fastball velocity, and his strikeout rate hasn't jumped off the page. The 27-year-old demonstrated some effectiveness over his first two years in the majors, but he hasn't done enough to warrant a roster spot in most fantasy leagues to begin 2021.
