        The Toronto Blue Jays acquired right-hander Zach Thompson from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Toronto announced in a tweet from the team's official Twitter account on Tuesday. The Blue Jays traded outfield prospect Chavez Young to Pittsburgh for Thompson. The 28-year-old pitcher made 29 appearances for the Pirates last season, 22 of which were starts. He posted a 5.18 ERA and a 4.87 FIP in 121.2 innings of work while logging 90 strikeouts compared to 46 walks allowed. He'll give Toronto some additional rotation depth after the likes of Alek Manoah, Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassitt, Jose Berrios, Hyun Jin Ryu, and Yusei Kikuchi. The Blue Jays designated right-hander Junior Fernandez for assignment to make room for Thompson on the team's 40-man roster.
