TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays recalled right-hander Thomas Hatch from Triple-A Buffalo and optioned right-hander Trent Thornton to Triple-A before Saturday’s game against Boston.
Hatch has no record and has not allowed a run in four relief appearances in two previous stints with Toronto this season. The four-year veteran has walked three and struck out eight in 3 2/3 innings.
A five-year veteran, Thornton has no record and a 1.69 ERA in four relief appearances with the Blue Jays in 2023, all in the past two weeks. He gave up a run on three hits over 1 1/3 innings in Friday’s 5-0 loss to the Red Sox, his second game in three days.
