Trent Thornton, Seattle Mariners, Out Due to Appendicitis, Placed on 15-Day Injured List

Trent Thornton has been placed on the 15-day injured list, which means the Seattle Mariners will miss him for upcoming games, including their match against the Toronto Blue Jays at T-Mobile Park. Thornton has pitched 15 1/3 innings this season, recording a 1-0 record with an ERA of 5.87. His absence could impact the bullpen, as he has been a relief pitcher with no starts this season.

With Thornton out, pitchers like Matt Brash and Gabe Speier might see increased action in relief roles. Thornton's recent performance includes an ERA of 9.0 over his last three games, indicating a challenging stretch. The Mariners will have to adjust their bullpen strategy to cover his innings during his recovery.
