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.
